Was Jan 6 an Insurrection?

[Logician Man]

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

None. We 'smart people' know the truth, and want those assholes who tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power ( which is the bedrock of our democratic republic ) from an outing POTUS to a POTUS-Elect held accountable for their non-patriotic, Anti-American actions----and you should too.

 

[choiceone]

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.

The left is not dictatorial. When the GOP elected Trump, there were impeachments, investigation, and protest, but the left showed the patience to wait for the next presidential election. That's democracy.

Recently, I've seen websites on polls that show about a third of Republicans think if they don't get their way, they may find violence "necessary," but only a tiny percentage of people on the left would be willing to turn to violence. The right is a big bully and they would just love having their own Putin.

Was January 6 an Insurrection or was it something else?

Not anymore than any other riot.

Democrats are flopping so that they can go after political rivals that's all this is about

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.

Good idea, lurch. I'd do that in a heartbeat if I had access to them.

Agree.

It's a political witch hunt.

 

[Ren]

The former.

It was actually the latter, but thanks for participating.

 

[Ren]

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

Charge them and move on.

Great answer.

 

[Ren]

Yes.

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

From the likes of you? At least a billion times, if not more.

 

[Gateman_Wen]

From the likes of you? At least a billion times, if not more.

Already done.

You good now?

 

[CLAX1911]

Agree.

It's a political witch hunt.

From some things about it that I've learned it seems like it was provoked.

I've watched a few videos about the protest where a character was trying to rile up the crowd and get them to storm into the capital and the crowd started calling him a Fed.

It makes me wonder if there is more to this or not.

 

[Logician Man]

Great answer.

^ Clearly has a very low bar as to what as to what constitutes a "great answer."

 

[Ren]

Already done.

You good now?

No.

I've only been told maybe a couple dozen times.

 

[Ren]

At least we have a bar. Your side is dealing with painted lines.

Same here. I remember watching a live feed video in which Rootin-Tootin Rudy G. was riling up the crowd by screaming "let's have trial by combat!" as DJT stood by clapping with that evil smirk on his mug.

Not familiar with that one.

Thank you for admitting you have a very low bar as to what constitutes a "great answer."---baby steps are steps nonetheless.

Of course it was, calling it an insurrection is factually accurate using basic common sense and definitions

It would be refreshing if the January 6th Circus actually looked at the riot. But they are clearly more interested in the tweets of FoxNews hosts.

 

[Gateman_Wen]

No.

That's not possible. I've personally said it thousands upon thousands of times here alone.

How do you think it compares to, say 9/11 or COVID as far as affecting your daily life?

 

[Logician Man]

But they are clearly more interested in the tweets of FoxNews hosts.

Maybe you didn't get the memo. The 1/06 Committee forced the insurrection inciter to turn over 1000's of documents----many of which the inciter stole from 'The American People', ripped up illegally, and tried to flush down the WH shitter.

9/11 is also one of the worse things (probably the worst) to happen to america in my lifetime

Covid is one of the worst things to happen to the world in my lifetime

LOL You're bitching about the wing-nut congressmen that weren't allowed to pull their little Nazi publicity stunt. It was they who weren't granted access. If you have business with one of them, you can go see them, pal. Let me know how that goes~

 

[Nickyjo]

Yes.

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

Some of UN are dictionarily-challenged.
