“The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result.”
“The FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of Donald Trump.”
There are people who have spent every day talking about January 6 ever since it happened, and now talk about it more than ever, as if it’s the most historically momentous event ever rather than a 3-hour riot that got put down, Hardly unique in 2020 or even the aftermath of the 2016 election.
This man, Often used as the face and example of the capitol hill rioters…
Is a a former Democrat. From the southwest. A thoroughly confused, useful idiot that grabbed some attention by looking like a clown. He was on either side at different times but ultimately he’s nobody but a dumbass in need of psychiatric service.
When he was there on 1/6, he did almost nothing, same as most. He’s been tried, convicted, and sentenced.
… For no violent crimes. Trespass and interfering with a government function. 8 months. He wasn’t charged with any kind of incitement or violence. Just trespass and interfering with a gov’t function. Almost no one that’s been picked up since has been charged any differently. Given the video of CP letting people past some of the baricades, many will walk.
it it wasn’t organized, injuries were minimal, damage was minimal, and almost no one was armed; And the Gallows was a prop that couldn’t behead a rat and no more extreme a statement than this..
The rhetoric of some of the rioters was extreme. The protestors for Trump’s election set buildings ablaze And the Kavanagh hearing protesters also marched on capitol hill and were allowed entrance to capitol hill., neccesitaing arrests when they caused disturbances.
After Floyd’s death, the riots and protests at the white house were so bad, the secret service put the President under lockdown.
None of these were called an innsurection. Like the capitol hill riots, There was a noisy minority of agitators. The overwhelming majority of the crowd was peaceful. There’s footage of Buffalo boy having an amicable chat with CP and declaring they’re lack of intent to cause damage.
There are videos of dozens of people saying the same, of CP removing baricades and opening doors, of people peacefully milling about like it’s a goddamn tour.
There was violence, but the proportion and severity has been blow out of proportion. The rioting in dc 4 years prior was orders of magnitude worse and there was worse rioting all accross america in 2020. God only knows how many officer suicides (David Dorn was murdered live and on video. Two Vegas officers were jumped and murdered. WAY more than one officer died in 2020) and huge swathes of officers quitting along with dozens of murders. The only reason many people think this one is special is because the media told them to.
