I don't think you realize
how many arrests WERE made during the summer riots.
The events of 1/6 being defined as
a riot is pure folly because, as this was the United States Capitol, and as the clearly stated objective BY THE PARTICIPANTS
was to forcefully enter and disrupt ongoing legitimate election proceedings and, as the clearly and openly stated main objective was to halt the ongoing election proceedings and the transition of power...this was NOT a riot in any way, shape or form whatsoever.
It was, in legal and Constitutional terms,
a seditious insurrection, and an act of war against the
Federal Government and The People of the United States, and that is how it will be defined IN COURT when legal action is taken against the participants."
And if, as promised,
these extremists return in the coming days, armed AS PROMISED, then it will be a further act of war.
The summer riots were largely to protest past actions of law enforcement against minorities.
The violence and vandalism had NO objective whatsoever, it was just violence and vandalism.
The closest comparison would be the black masker anarchist/Antifa actions in downtown Portland, which technically could be defined as a small insurrection, albeit the largest component of that insurrection was really plain anarchy, and was directed at ALL forms of government.
It is true that Antifa types are taking part in these incidents in Portlad this year however the anarchists still form the largest component of the group by far and ALWAYS HAVE.
And that is because the black masker anarchist types have been baked into Portland's history since the 1960's and resemble a recurring boil on the ass of any and all administrations in the region, year in and year out.
The
"Portland Anarchist" is
"a thing", it is a well known, well defined and perennial thing in that area.
It is a verified and documented stereotyped group, just as much as Partie Quebecois Separatists are up in Quebec, just as much as the Basque Separatists are in Spain, just as much as the FARC is in Colombia.
I'm not interested in debating further with a Qanoner/Nazi supporter, so if you're actually interested in learning about the arrests, the information is out there. If you want to learn and broaden your horizons, that's entirely up to you.
I fully expect you to cling even more desperately to your extremist dogma however, but at least I did my part by putting this information out there for others to see.
