Most of them just walked in (with the police holding the doors open) and then wandered around confused in circles, taking selfies and chatting with cops standing around before leaving.
Agreed. Now I’m all for the ones who broke the law to get the appropriate punishment but the hysterical over reporting of this combined with the aggressive cheerleading/under reporting of Floyd riots makes me not really care about Jan 6
During the BLM riots, I was thinking: if these people can get their way by means of violence, it's only a matter of time before others get in on the act.
Very naive, of course, because it's only licit for the people who have the backing of all the power centers.
Exactly. Destroy your neighbor’s house in the name of “racial equality” you are a hero. Smash a window to protest CRT then you will be the subject of endless documentaries about white supremacy
I wish I could say that I'm surprised that he thinks that rapists, murderers, child molesters, etc. do not deserve Rikers, but people he disagrees with do.
But this stance has a long and storied history.
Lenin’s vision of labor camps as a special form of punishment for a particular sort of bourgeois “enemy” sat well with his other beliefs about crime and criminals. On the one hand, the first Soviet leader felt ambivalent about the jailing and punishment of traditional criminals—thieves, pickpockets, murderers—whom he perceived as potential allies. In his view, the basic cause of “social excess” (meaning crime) was “the exploitation of the masses.” The removal of the cause, he believed, “will lead to the withering away of the excess.” No special punishments were therefore necessary to deter criminals: in time, the Revolution itself would do away with them. Some of the language in the Bolsheviks’ first criminal code would have thus warmed the hearts of the most radical, progressive criminal reformers in the West. Among other things, the code decreed that there was “no such thing as individual guilt,” and that punishment “should not be seen as retribution.
On the other hand, Lenin—like the Bolshevik legal theorists who followed in his wake—also reckoned that the creation of the Soviet state would give rise to a new kind of criminal: the class enemy. A class enemy opposed the Revolution, and worked openly, or more often secretly, to destroy it. The class enemy was harder to identify than an ordinary criminal, and much harder to reform. Unlike an ordinary criminal, a class enemy could never be trusted to cooperate with the Soviet regime, and required harsher punishment than would an ordinary murderer or thief. Thus in May 1918, the first Bolshevik “decree on bribery” declared that: “If the person guilty of taking or offering bribes belongs to the propertied classes and is using the bribe to preserve or acquire privileges, linked to property rights, then he should be sentenced to the harshest and most unpleasant forced labor and all of his property should be confiscated."
On which, via the BBC (Buck Breaking Confederates):
According to the excerpts, Mr Sikorski told former Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski at a restaurant in Warsaw early this year that "the Polish-US alliance isn't worth anything".
Using vulgar language, he compared Polish subservience to the US to giving oral sex.
He also used a racially loaded term to describe the Polish stance - "murzynskosc", which suggests a slave mentality.
"[We are] suckers, total suckers. The problem in Poland is that we have shallow pride and low self-esteem,'' Mr Sikorski was quoted as saying.
Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski told reporters on Monday that the US was a "very important ally and partner".
Murzyn means either a negro or just black neutrally (much like negro itself in America for a very long time), but here murzyńskość will mean basically niggerdom in slavery era sense.
Nah, she married a Pole who even later became foreign minister (and whom the Russian spies bugged as saying "the Americans are treating as like negroes").
Sometimes I really do think most of this isn't real, someone just has a book of real history when it happened and are renacting it with modern themes to put everyone through the same process again and again.
One day my great grandkids will ask me where I was on January 6th when the worst thing that has ever happened in the galaxy occurred.
The ones who stormed the Capitol should have known that this would be used against them forever

no charges for patriots until everyone involved in chaz is behind bars.
How in the world is Chaz not an insurrection? Well I guess I know but by definition that should be treason
well our supreme court reject ag thought that the attacks on an occupied federal building weren't insurrection because it was "at night".

From Anne Applebaum's The Gulag: A History.
Applebaum too is an acute TDS survivor. Many such cases.
I am aware. Also a Poland/Hungary hater.

Comment Reported for: Rule 16 - Identity Attacks
Comment Approved: I don't see how.
I assume Poland will continue to be an ally of the US for simple balance of power reasons - they're more afraid of Russia.
But why is this downvoted?
Dunno, anyway here's a dictionary definition lol
Bonus: it was back in the Obama years.

I mean against the current governments. IIRC, she's whipping up hysteria about them being anti-democratic for not following the EU/US line.
