Hearing the testimony of the officers before Congress, the pep talks given by elected officials and the threats since, again by elected officials, if it does not give you pause, there is a problem.

I agree! If only we had a vaccine for foxitis. Also, read a headline this morning…. 20 years after 9/11, the US is at war with itself….. now that’s sad.

I need someone to identify the real Americans for me.

I hope they do too, Jan 6 was inexcusable. BUT FIRST, lets go back and throw all the "culprits" in jail from LA, Ferguson, Baltimore, Atlanta and Minneapolis

Those arrested with the GF riots have all been released, those arrested January 16, still in solitary confinement jails, no bail.

I believe it is TIME TO TAKE DOWN THIS THREAD.

The above underlined quote falls far short of what just occurred in Afghanistan.

I think you misspelled illegitimate

Are you implying the criteria is if someone else broke the law but didn't get incarcerated it is OK to break the law. With that logic shouldn't we release the majority sitting in jail cells today ?

Did you miss the day Mommy gave the "if Johnny jumps off the bridge" lesson ?

We have become a 3rd world country. Protest, riots, burning, destruction of public/private property and murder.
So darn sad.

Wow, there are some crazy, scary people on this topic. Knowing that the Villages has more guns per household than you'd find in South Chicago doesn't help me sleep any better.

That said, I'll throw my worthless 2 cents in after all the others I've read here.

This is what I think happened - The person we will not name and his/her minions planned the riots and assault on the Capitol, but they fully expected the DC police to repel the rioters, beating up a few in front of the cameras and if they were real lucky a few would get killed. This would have made for great optics - poor "protesters", trying to defend the Constitution, slaughtered by the only lefty cops in the US - DC cops.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the incompetence of the DC police (managers and planners, not the front liners) and the whole effort went south when the Capital was breached. That flipped the optics (which was always the only thing that mattered to he/she who will not be named).

The George Floyd riots were a cry of frustration. The Jan6th riot was a call to overthrow the election system. Very different animals.

extremely well said, thank you

I'd be eager to see your source of information to lend credence to your claim. From what I've read through various internet links, the number of arrests in the George Floyd riots number between 11, 000 and 14,000. Now, please provide where you received the information that all 11,000 to 14,000 have been released from custody.
