Jauronimo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I was surprised to see the participants referred to as rioters multiple times today. Even violent idiots. For the past 18 months we have witnessed people do everything they can to minimize the actions of the participants on Jan 6. PPP has often referred to the event as a rowdy self-guided tour through the nation's capitol. Now that charges have been filed for select individuals, yesterday's chest thumping about no charges filed has turned into more cries about the corrupt justice system. The same justice system that was celebrated when Trump was not found guilty of any collusion. The same justice system that was condemned for failing to convict Sussman. Seems like the criticisms are a little outcome based? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. They did go after those people and many were prosecuted. So this witch hunt narrative and political persecution angle isn't very compelling. One thing that bridges the aisle really quickly is f@#$ing with the seat of political power. And no, destroying property and entering the capitol building to effect the results of an election are not the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The 2020 insurrection was real. This was a mass trespassing event.

So you are saying that those that broke into & burned gov't buildings & took over entire blocks of cities in Portland, Seattle and here in Nashville is different because one group questioned the results of a election & the others just didn't give a S**T & questioned the rule of law and saw a opportunity to loot/ riot because it was in the thought of bringing change ?

What I am saying could not be more clear. Trying to change the outcome of a presidential election is different than burning gas stations and stealing Nikes. Are you really arguing they're equivalent acts? I don't even know what your point is since we have already established that a good number of arrests from the 2020 Summer riots and protests were prosecuted and convictions resulted. 1 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anarchists mind controlled by their party extremes revolted against authority. how they are respectively framed, the historical narratives, the whataboutism, pretending one series of behaviors is better or worse than the other are merely rooted in naive allegiant political ideology. Rational free thinking people fully understand that a civil society has room for neither. Both series of events were embarrassing deplorable acts from vagrants, criminals and imbeciles and each respectively lauded on or railed against by opposing politicians reminiscent of the tastes great, less filing chant on the pendulum Viking ship.

Seems like the criticisms are a little outcome based? I’m surprised that you’re surprised by this sort of thing. This is a place where insults fly at times, people are accused of being in cults, being idiots and the like. It’s also a place where people come to blow off steam, chat about the thoughts of the day, and maybe sometimes look at issue through too broad (or too narrow) a lens. The people who breached the Capitol are no ally to freedom as I see it, but there are a number of layers to this story that are often glossed over. A guy at a rally who didn’t enter the building is a protestor regardless of whether or not he thinks the election was fixed. A guy who assaults a police officer needs to be charged appropriately. As for your analysis of “outcome based opinions”, yeah, of course. People who scream about systemic injustice and police officers being hyper aggressive seem to have seen the light on use of lethal force in this case. Suddenly no questions arise about the appropriate use of force on an unarmed individual. Folks that scream about the corrupt nature of our judicial system suddenly find it fair and impartial. Those in favor of dismantling our prisons and allowing people a second chance look the other way when people accused of a crime are held in custody for an awfully long time. People supporting the release of full, unedited body camera/security footage seem content with that which government selectively releases. It just seems to me that viewed objectively, people are really complicated. It’s the least surprising thing about all this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another cherry picker i said gov't buildings not freakin gas stations WTF .. The point is one action broke into a gov't building with the intention that they could change the out come of a election but didn't & couldn't by doing so and it was looked at as a huge coupe de ta even though there was nothing while in there that they could have actually done to change the election . And when they were gotten out by the police there was little damage in comparison to the others i am comparing to . The other broke into gov't buildings thinking they could change a law (i'm guessing) because of what they saw to be a injustice or a excuse to do so and every one labeled it as "peaceful demonstrations" which there was nothing peaceful about breaking into & burning GOVERNMENT buildings in Portland, Seattle & Nashville . Then here we are how may months later & still focused on that but the other not so much because in the narrative the action was glorified to be something much different when in fact it was pretty close to the same thing . A bunch of dumb ass people doing something completely stupid & against the law for something they apparently believed in but depending on which side of the isle you were from had a totally different conclusion . Same action different interpretation . Edited June 7, 2022 by T master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Interesting take- especially based on the 2 hours ago, Tiberius said: It is funny that what you focus on is not the 85% of Dems who thought it was an insurrection. The CHAZ in Seattle was an actual insurrection and Jan 6th was a riot. No shows up to an insurrection against armed men without real weapons, and they left their weapons in another state because they did not want to be arrested on gun laws. Dems don't have the slightest clue the definition of so many words, except how the words make them feel, like Ultra MAGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the criticisms are a little outcome based? Most people who participated in 1/6 were trespassers. Many became rioters. The rioters were "influenced by people from outside the area”. I learned that phrase during the riots of 2020 that occurred all over the country. The same thing could be said for most any civil unrest. Ticket the trespassers. Charge and prosecute the rioters like any other rioters we’ve recently seen. Charge and prosecute the outside influencers. What’s difficult about this?
