      His name was Brian Sicknick btw, and they’ll say he didn’t die at the scene—which is true, however he did die the day after of a stroke, while in the hospital, according to the medical examiner. Would he have had a stroke if he was not injured? That is difficult to tell.

        Yeah, it’s hard to say if being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher would lead to a stroke, and I don’t much care. Also, weather they were violent or not, is not what most people care about, but rather WHY they were there in the first place. To interfere with what is already a very shallow democracy we have in the first place. For decades both parties have whittled away what little democracy we had. The fact that we only have two parties on the ballot is only the most obvious example of this. What I don’t understand is why conservatives hate the Dems so much. The Democrats, Biden for sure, are a very conservative. But with out fail these babies will claim to be the victim of “Biden Socialism” or some other crap. While they cheer on the actual oppression from the state on the poor, the black, the working class and immigrants in this country. These people are whining entitled little babies who are afraid of rainbows.

          I hadn’t pegged you for a holocaust denier, but it certainly lines up with your intelligence

            Liberals hate Jews. They claim it’s just hating Zionist states but only an idiot would buy that.

              Umm. Conservatives are the ones defending Israeli. Democrats are the ones wanting them to not defend themselves.

          Rule 1. In light of repeated warnings, repeated bans, and unrepentant rule 1 breaking, here’s a perma.

      That’s because they were tired after doing all of this. Where velvet ropes had some mysterious power over the seditious insurrectionists, actual law enforcement didn’t. After all, velvet ropes can’t shoot people in the shoulder for breaching a broken window after they’ve been explicitly told to not do it.

          I was the victim of an insurrection on the highway a couple months back. That damn construction equipment hauler cracked my damn window with a small rock. It’s literally the end of our democracy!

          Well if they had burned the capital. It would have been called a peaceful protest

      I do remember early reports and I thought oh shit. They new media made it sound like it was total destruction.

      Turned on the news and saw them walking single file through the ropes. My kid asked me what was happening. I said that’s the weirdest coup I’ve ever seen.

      That’s when I knew it was all bullshit
