ITT we label the Capitol selfie-takers, chair-sitters, and paper-strewers as terrorists and vilify those who would suggest giving the same moniker to the people who intentionally burned down countless locally-owned businesses and caused literally hundreds of casualties.

I can be convinced to throw terrorism charges at the people chanting USA USA USA outside the Capitol yesterday if you're willing to designate BLM a terror organization. I think I'm giving up way more than you are in this deal. Seems fair.

Or, we could go ahead and change the thread title to something less absurd.

Then again, just look at this utter destruction left behind from yesterday:



It's going to take multiple minutes to pick up all that paperwork. MINUTES! Good God.

Sure, if you deliberately omit the pipe bombs and window smashing and the looting and handcuffs to take hostages, sure, it was just strewing papers on the floor. **** off with your bullshit.

Inso0 apparently lives in a world where the purpose of the protest is utterly irrelevant.

What are other parts of it? What are other reasons that blacks haven't been able to create countries people want to live in and that the communities they establish in other countries turn into ghettos? Surely you can't believe there has never been civil wars in Europe or America or Asia?

Of course he cares about the purpose. He's just thinly hiding that he supports this one.

Colonialism.

Fair enough. He is pretending that we are not allowed to take the purpose of this protest into account when passing judgment on the participants.

Colonialism is a consequence of a country not having a robust self-defense system which is a consequence of other sicknesses within the country. America has suffered under economic colonialism for decades because of systemic weaknesses within America. I could go off on a long tangent about all of the reasons for that, but suffice it to say that China has long seen America as an easy target for economic colonialism. What are reasons that Africa was a ripe target for colonialism?

ProRailbird does not deserve a reply. Mods need to ban his racist a$$ asap.

Anyone trotting out that trope about Africa while ignoring the very purposeful hundreds of years of direct and targeted dividing, propping up, giving weapons to, meddling first by European and then American and now Asian countries interested in keeping them divided and weak and fighting so they can extract resources on the cheap, is just a racist troll.

There is a big nuanced talk to be had about Africa but he is not interested in that.

**** off with your bullshit indeed. Capitol police or the secret service breaking windows to use as a porthole to shoot the scary women outside and one picture of one dude LARPing as a Call of Duty character with some plastic handcuffs.

I'll grant you the pipe bomb left at the RNC, so again I think it's only fair that we also label 100% of the people who show up to BLM "protests" as terrorists. If they weren't terrorists, they wouldn't associate themselves with a movement that results in hundreds of millions of dollars of economic damage along with multiple deaths and hundreds of other casualties.

Ok lets say you Identify many of the folks that entered/ broke into the building.
What are the charges and what is the appropriate punishment?

Give them a few minutes. I'm sure he will be banned.

lol@ at the sons of tories and the confederacy trying to lean on claiming their birthright as the founders and defenders of freedom. Sorry but they look just like the clowns and yahoos our ancestors on the blue team saw back in the day. What honorable cause are they fighting for this time around in your opinion?

Whatever tresspassing charges you'd give any other loon who shows up uninvited to the Capitol on any given Wednesday.

Maybe littering too, given the state of those offices.

Politically speaking, a rejection of democratic-republicanism and an embrace of imperialism.

No.
It's called greed and malice.
You have a disease. Where did your technology come from? Your clothing? You are the supreme race so it's your destiny to be served right? White power, right? Who do you keep exploiting. Jesus I don't wanna be in your head it must be noisy in there. Get help or this won't end well. It's a disease that you have nothing else.

Incredible that you think anyone would believe your bad faith telling of what got this terrorist killed.

These clowns weren't really there just protesting though. They thought this bs would be the start of the revolution™ and the military would join in and back them. That's been a part of the fantasy the entire time.

And . . . now he's banned. What a shock.

I can't believe they didn't have mounted officers at the ready for crowd control. Like has DC never seen a protest get out of hand before?

your "tribe" is delimited, defined, bounded, and established by your ideology, so your post here is basically meaningless

Maybe this was a good opportunity for one of those "warning shots" that the left is always calling for in cases where criminals gets killed by police.

Nope, right to the head. If that guy hadn't been an expert marksman, he might've accidentally shot one of the cops chilling behind her in the hallway.

if orange cheeto was the one being protected in the capitol, inso would be calling for automatic rifle fire

...but it was just dems and rinos

I can almost guarantee that you are going to find terrorist groups involved in the organizing of these protests and incitement during them. Not all of those involved, that's not how how white supremacist groups, extremist libertarians or the modern Nazis operate. They operate parasitically.

Similarly, the broader group that stormed congress did more than protest. They violently revolted against government function. That is called insurrection. The severity of that charge depends of course on what the specific individual planned to do and what they actually did. To say they didn't kill anyone is somewhat disingenuous when Congress was actually evacuated as a result of what occurred. If my house was burgled by a man carrying strips and a knife, I'm not ready to declare him no threat to society just because my wife and children managed to get out before he managed to break the last door.

And yes, there were protesters in DC. People aren't really referring to those people in this discussion. They're referring to the group of men and women who stormed or incited the storming of congress because they have failed to accept the most basic of democratic institutions, the people's will.

Pointing out that there was a permit is no more noteworthy than pointing out that the Nashville car bomb had license plates.

And here I didn't have you pegged for a big government type.
