Was January 6 an Insurrection or was it something else?

The former.

Why don't you ask the people who have been charged?

At least 1,003 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. This searchable table shows them all.

Thousands of pro-Trump supporters descended on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Two years later, more than 1,000 have been charged with crimes.

A protest turned riot filled with idiots who trespassed, destroyed property, and some committed assaults.

Charge them and move on.

Yes.

How many times do you people need to be told this?

 

[EdwinWillers]

To the left, anything that interrupts their dictatorial calm is an insurrection.

Jan 6 was no insurrection - not even by the remotest stretch of imagination. It was a protest that began peacefully, escalated, and turned into a riot - or at least a semblance of one.

 

[EdwinWillers]

Yes.

How many times do you people need to be told this?

No

How many times to "you people" need to be told it wasn't?

 

[Gateman_Wen]

No

How many times to "you people" need to be told it wasn't?

I guess that means you need to hear it s few more times.

No, frankly I'm tired of hearing that lie repeated ad nauseum. That Joseph Goebbels tactic just won't work on me - I know know better.

...and honestly, you should too.

If the left was actually “dictatorial” every last one of those Trump cultists would be in a shallow grave right now.

Actual dictatorships don’t tolerate rampages like the one on January 6.

I believe statements like the bolded may shed some light on why some do not see the insurrection component of 1/6, as the bolded phrase indicates a fundamental understanding of the democratic electoral process.

 

[Logician Man]

Charge them and move on.

Moving on with 1/06 committee, and hopefully will charge Trump ( and others ) with a federal crime, or better yet, several federal crimes.

Was January 6 an Insurrection or was it something else?

It was a protest vainly attempting to hide the insurrection at it's core, which in turn was covering for a coup attempt.

 

[Spunkylama]

Have any of you watched the Netflix documentary on January 6th?

 

[eohrnberger]

Wow. 64.7% of the polled so mislead (at this moment). Amazing and scary all at the same time!

 

[Lycanthrope]

There were elements in that mob that intended to disrupt the democratic process and prevent the EC count certifying Biden as our next POTUS. Some in the mob planned it beforehand, some were just useful idiots swept up in the emotion of the protests.

Was Trump involved beforehand? Has not been conclusively shown.

Did he hope they'd succeed?

 

[Old 'N Chill]

Yes.

How many times do you people need to be told this?

Ditto on your entire reply.

 

[Gateman_Wen]

No, frankly I'm tired of hearing that lie repeated ad nauseum.

Reality sucks when it's against you, doesn't it?

Congress can't charge anyone with anything.

It was a putch, a failed Insurrection.

 

[Napoleon]

Yes.

People can read and hear the hyperbole, but it isn’t real until people are are actually convicted of it. So far, the DOJ hasn’t even charged anyone with insurrection. You can tell people about an “insurrection” until you’re blue in the face, but that word has a legal meaning that the DOJ hasn’t applied to a soul.

Was January 6 an Insurrection or was it something else?

Not only was it a protest that went wrong, it was a protest that was CAUSED to go wrong.

 

[Logician Man]

Congress can't charge anyone with anything.

Even better. Make him pay with cash.

This is a visual investigation:



In their pursuit of "freedoms", groups of right-wing fanatics forgot their responsibilities. Then they call themselves proud Americans.

Why is it that if you talk to either the far right or the far left that is busy burning private property down/historical monuments in other locations -> they have the same answer/script ready:

"To defend freedom" "To defend our rights"

The activists get criminal records while the big fish at the very top live the big life. They probably call each other to laugh at the common person's stupidity after every major event.
