Since blm antifa show up with fireworks, guns, and other assorted dangerous and lethal weapons I would guess that they plan on becoming unpeaceful before they start protesting.

Do tours of US Capitol begin with breaking windows for entry?


I thought they began when a BLM militant capital police cop shot an unarmed veteran.

Those folks on Jan 6 were just exercising their first amendment rights to peacefully assemble and petition for a redress of grievances. It was the Capitol police who put up barriers that made it go a bit unruly. After all, when a large crowd went into the Senate chambers before to petition and express their opinion during the Kavanaugh hearings, those folks were allowed right on it. And they proceeded to shout at and otherwise harass sitting Senators. Even rushing one as he tried to escape into the elevator.


What would have happened if those folks were blocked by the Capitol Police?

How much crazier can they get?

A Republican House member just described January 6 as a 'normal tourist visit'

Ya catch that little "if you didn't know better"?

No one suggested it was a tour. They were saying it wasn't the insurrection and attack that the left is saying it was.

Tell that to officer Michael Fanone. Being beaten down by the crowd, being tased, screaming, pleading with the mob that he has kids. Bodycam video.

Nobody was assaulted in the unarmed protests. It was excessive, as is the grossly over-the-top characterization of.the events as Insurrection, which in the ultimate analysis, does far more harm to the country that the protesters did!!!!
So to you it's a total myth that none of the police at the capitol were assaulted? And people need to understand that as the truth?

I don't believe the bold-face lies of either party, which is why I'm registered as an independent voter. My voting history over the past 40 years has typically meandered across party lines. Until recently, I never really felt either party had a clear lead in the bold-face lies race. However, a clear winner has emerged over the last decade or so: Democrats. They're so full of crap 24/7 that it's hard to find truth in anything they say. Worse, they flip-flop constantly and unabashedly. Zero principles. Zero character. They do nothing but say/do whatever placates uninformed and victim culture voters.

Apparently, according to the left, those people should have been shot when trying to get through the door into the Senate chambers.

I do not condone the beating. But thankfully, he is still alive.


That cannot be said for the unarmed Ashli Babbit.

Who's fine with cops being beat, whether at the capitol or on the street during the riots? Oh wait, those on the left are fine with cops being beaten, or killed, in the streets during the riots.
