All the capitol videos from the Parler hack are uploaded with a pretty good interface. I dont know how people can say it was antifa, and talk about incriminating themselves. I thought watching the videos would reinforce my views that those people were savages, but it humanized them, its clear that a lot of people just thought they were doing what was in the best interest of their country, like honestly thought that. I dont know that to do with that information though, I dont know that it clears them all together, I dont know, it made me more empathetic.

They’ll have time to deprogram in prison. People will need to learn there are consequences for believing a *********, and hopefully will use more critical thinking next time.

Helps when you get unfiltered truth.

There wasn't much Antifa there, but they were there around the Capitol chaos - not necessarily for the other events.

It was more peaceful than the BLM protests of last summer because they met almost no police opposition. It's amazing how little fighting you have to do when not pressed against a cop with a riot shield throwing tear gas at you.

I'm honestly very disappointed more enemies of the state weren't taken out.

What exactly do you think it is that anyone "believed"?

I watch many of them the other day.

One of my favorites is a couple where the boyfriend is recording inside the Capitol and he asks his girlfriend to talk to the camera and she removes her face cover and he tells her to put it back on to protect their identity. OK boyfriend, if you are so concerned why did you upload the video to Parler? We all saw your girlfriend's face thanks to you, Einstein.

Some of these people are so brainedwashed that they think whatever they write or upload in Parler will stay "among the patriots" AS if the FBI couldn't just create a fake Parler accounts and see their activity.

It depends.

The ones outside for the most part were peaceful except for those who destroyed the AP equipment.

The ones pushing fences and Capitol police to get inside should be charged. Also the ones who broke windows, went inside through broken windows, threw chairs, fire extinguishers or used flag poles to attack police or to open doors should be charged

Anyone inside the Capitol who pushed their way in or were told they couldn't go in should be charged.

I don't know if anybody who was inside the Capitol just "walked in" because the doors were open. Most of the videos I saw they were pushing their way in. Yes some looked like zombies and were even dumb enough to ask Capitol Police if they could move further as if they were not aware they had already broken the law.

Then you have those radical terrorists who wanted to find Pelosi and Pence who went inside the Senate and Congress chambers, took pictures of documents, stole property and that includes that lady who got killed after they were pointing several guns at her. For whatever reason she must have thought they would not shoot her.

They believe that despite losing over 60 court cases, including appeals to the SCOTUS, the election was somehow stolen, and that Trump is the rightful winner.

I know, crazy stuff but these loons actually bought that Big Lie.

There is also a bunch of people that walked in after the initial breach, you can see middle age ladies in tha background just strolling by taking selfies like they are in the Smithsonian, hard to think those ladies were part of an insurrection.
