It was a riot that breached the Capitol. Nice try, but it doesn't matter what they "said" prior to or during the riot.Porteroso said:ATL Bear said:Oooh. Some people said some stuff. That's what makes this an insurrection. Now I get it…Porteroso said:whiterock said:The videos document conclusively there was no insurrection going on. Not one rioter, demonstrator, nutjob, criminal, etc.....lifted so much as a follicle of hair to seize political power. (that's why no one was charged with such despite a galactic overreach of overcharging by prosecutors.) The preponderance of evidence inside the halls of power showed respect, even reverence, for the Republic.Sam Lowry said:Only if you ignore the fact that there was an insurrection going on.whiterock said:Like I said, you are talking about a video you obviously did not see. The officers are on tape, for minutes helping him get where he wanted to go.....checking doors, taking him to alternative entrances to circumvent locked doors, actually holding the doors open for him to walk thru. Doesn't make what the shaman did legal, but does vaporize the idea that there was an insurrection going on.J.R. said:Step away from the Shaman's shrooms and peyote! It is bad for you! clouds your brain!Quote:Quote:guided tour.???? are you freaking nuts? Have you not seen the video? Dude, you are insufferable and brainwashed.Quote:
So being escorted around on a guided tour is a crime and inciting a riot isn't?
Got it.
You must not have seen the video, JR. The Shaman was most definitely escorted around by multiple officers….officers opened doorways for him…..etc.
Trying to turn J6 into a Reichstag Fire hoax is beyond offensive. It's deeply injurious to social contract itself, not to mention destroying the credibility of those who push such narratives.
Officers opened the doors to the Capitol not to give a tour, but avoid bloodshed. There was an insurrection because the stated purpose was exactly the opposite of what you said. Seizing political power. Hanging Pence. Bringing vigilante justice to Pelosi. Throwing out the results of the election. Having the military "enforce the law" in a new election.
These were all things caught on record. Or do you really think every Washington DC tour ends up with selfies in Pelosi's office?
The stupidity of this type of framing is that even if they never breached the Capitol, they were already insurrecting the government according to you and the like minded.
FYI. There's an insurrection happening on Social Media right now. Better notify the authorities. There are records of it.
1a prorects a whole lot of things. But breaching the Capitol to get Congress to throw out a federal election is what makes it an insurrection, going by the simple definition of the word.
Nice try, but it was the physical breach coupled with stated intention that made it an insurrection.
