    I would add to that, that anyone who incited the riot ought to be punished. The law will say how much they get punished. Those who incited would include Trump, jr., Hawley and those in the crowd who yelled yes, break the windows or we have to get inside stuff like that even though they might have not entered the Capitol building. The guy carrying the zip ties ought to receive extra punishment. I'm not going to say what the punishment ought to be but I am saying that it ought to be more than the rioters who broke windows, spray painted and set fires that didn't endanger anyone because they couldn't endanger anyone. Should the city rioters be punished? Hell yes, but not as severely as those who broke into the capitol and encouraged the riot to the point that someone bludgeoned a police officer to death. The January 6th riot was serious enough to where one Secret Service agent fired at a perp, killing her. I have heard of no shots being fired by police at any rioters in the city riots which means they weren't deadly serious.
    I need to get out of this before I get people angry with me which is the opposite of what I want. In short, I feel I'm now being counter productive.

    I would go back to school and relearn how to learn. if thats how you learn then i feel for ya.

    Setting the police hq on fire with people trapped inside is attempted murder. They attempted to try to burn a building down with knowledge of people inside. But you call it vandalism and arsen.

    Then 90% of the capital protesters were nothing but trespassers. No more. No less.

    but you can keep downplaying that and ill keep downplaying jan 6th in return.
    See how that works?

    but you go get some learnt. You seem a quick study... not.

    Just because a few of you agree here doesn't make you right. But ill let you all keep thinking that with your precious echo chamber you guys are sooo strongly protecting.
    Lol.

    I have no problem with anybody who set buildings on fire being arrested and charged. I don't think anybody has a problem with that.

    based on comments l, statements and opinions throughout last summer, it was a vastly different tone...

    “people need to let them vent.”

    “Anyone who condemns the vandalism is a borderline racist and missing the point.”

    “This should be dismissed as hopeless outrage...”

    blah blah blah.

    so some hard core righties also felt helpless( feeling you are losing your government can feel hopeless l, valid or not) and vandalized the capital.
    But in here. In S2 there, is little to zero consistency with the condemnation of breaking laws. When the people of the streets did it last year it was mostly dismissed as venting.

    so you are fairly wrong in your assessment based on peoples comments last year.

    Please quote the individual you're talking about directly or drop it. You're making arguments against nobody.

    Will I eat crow for you actually telling us what and who you're talking about? Probably not...

    I'm simply saying it doesn't make much sense to continue making claims without actual evidence. I don't think anybody in this discussion right now thought anybody being violent should be somehow immune to legal repercussions...

    why bring up evidence when you admittedly wont admit it if presented? You just said you likely wont eat crow and I've been down this road before. So few honest up and up people here who have the balls and confidence to admit being wrong when wrong.....

    Even if i spend the time to look it up and post it. It will be ignored, dismissed and you and/or others will simply move on to the next hollow point of contention...

    its why i laugh my ass off at most here who think they “win” debates by ignoring evidence and moving on.

    but ill do as you asked and will expect the typical dismissal that happens so regularly around here.
    Lol.
    I mean you just admit even if presented with facts you wont admit it being wrong!


    Seriously... lol.

    You seem upset and angry. I'm sorry to have caused you so much pain by using logic at an emotional time for you.

    Nobody said that about the arson. But your rage never really allowed you to process what anyone else was saying, then or now.

    Valiant effort @Orion Bailey but you're wasting your time bro. These guys think CNN is a reliable news source.

    Way to go personal? Your post was full of insults towards me. That's how I knew you were hurting. So I apologized for causing that extreme pain.

    do you read every post? If not then maybe you missed it being said?

    but ill let you continue to think you know and witness all and allow you to think thats the truth of it all.

    You have never processed what I've said in the past. You pick one sentence out of a longer point and focus on it and dismiss the meat of a post all the time. Look in the mirror.
    Lol.

    well if you are that soft then i guess they were insults.
    I suppose i should be more careful and understand when you post passive aggressive posts you aren't capable of receiving it in kind....

    passive aggressive behavior is lame btw...

    They were intended as insults. I didn't take them personally, but I felt bad for you, so I apologized. What's the issue?

    you must be in a low spot in your life and im sorry for that. If i can help in any way please let me know.
    Its been my experience when people exhibit passive aggressive behavior, they are having internal issues of some kind and not able to be upfront and honest.
    Is there anything i can do to help you put? I don't want you to suffer in this way.
