That doesn't excuse what's wrong in the RP.Rawhide said:You could easily be speaking of the liberals and their handlers like CNN, MSNBC, NYT, Twitter, etc....TexasScientist said:It's something to be concerned about, and you should pay closer attention. Look no further than the sea of Q signs, slogans and clothing in the Jan. 6th crowd. It's not so much the crazy Q and spin off conspiracies, but the willingness of a large and gullible fraction of people to believe and embrace parts if not all of this craziness.Rawhide said:You have an unhealthy obsession with Q. You don't realize that most (by far) conservatives, Republicans and Trump supporters don't follow it, don't agree with it and don't know what the hell it is. Hell, I only became aware because of your incessant posting about it.TexasScientist said:It appears many were there following Q, and one of the underlying themes of Q was that on the 6th the military was waiting for Trump to call it into action to take control and bring the 'cabal' to 'justice.'ATL Bear said:Who is they and what "plan" had military people participating in this? I mean is this just some figment or unverified expectation that it would magically occur in this manner? What coordination between protesters and military personnel occurred?Sam Lowry said:I don't know if there was any coordination. My point is that it wouldn't be unusual. They intended for Trump supporters in the military to join in and provide the muscle to overthrow the election and keep him in power.ATL Bear said:What was planned? And what coordination occurred with government entities? Any?Sam Lowry said:They didn't need guns for the insurrection they had planned. And no, it's not unusual at all. The Turkish government suspended thousands of police on suspicion of aiding the failed coup a few years ago.Canon said:C.

Although Babbitt appeared to not be a nice person, doesn't her life matter? George Floyd was a career criminal and yet the country almost burned down when he was murdered.Limited IQ Redneck in PU said:
One is a federal officer and one works for a local police department. Different local departments handle the release of info differently.. No reason to hhhhmmmmm unless you just like to hhhmmmmm.
Just questioning the disparity in the treatment and reactions of the deaths of two people where neither deserved to die.
Babbit was a participant in an insurrection to overthrow the government and was a short distance from attacking our congressional leaders. She pushed through a window though which she could see guns drawn on the other side.
Floyd wasn't attacking anyone and was completely subdued.
How can you not see the disparity between these situations? They're in no way comparable.
Hogwash. How many guns did the 'insurrectionists' of this supposed "insurrection" bring into the building with which to undertake said insurrection? How man police did these 'insurrectionists' kill in this "insurrection?" Is it a tactic of insurrectionists to take smiling selfies with their police opposition in the hallways of the battlefield? Is it unusual for insurrectionists to be ushered into/onto the battlefield by police officers?
