Yep. They were Ordinary citizens and ordinary, not Capitol, cops....nothing to see there according to those on the left.


They also cared little that Capitol cops and Secret Service were injured in blm antifa riots around the Capitol and WH in June of this year, and that there were blm antifa rioters who wanted to burn those buildings down and kill those who were in them.

This just shows you that when every day ordinarily Americans are threatened the politicians don’t care. However when it’s them who are threatened then there is hell to pay…

Real Clear Investigations has running stats on the Antifa/BLM riots vs the Jan. 6 Riot vs the riot on Trump's inauguration day in 2017.

Interesting to see which ones get more media attention compared to damage.
You are comparing days, weeks, months of civil unrest to one day to make what point?

I wonder if we had better leadership if lst summer would have been so tumultuous and gone on for so long.

Funny how that is NEVER discussed.

People were arrested and charged in the courthouse riot, so I'm not sure what your argument is, really.
Arrested yes, charged no. Links have been posted time after time on here showing that those who'd committed felonies were let go with no charges. But hey, if you can prove that all who'd been arrested for felonies had been charged then feel free to do so.

and say "well it's not ok to riot in Portland or break into Target, and then in the next sentence say what happened at the Capitol was a misunderstanding.

It doesn't work that way.
Yeah, try to make it seem that the only damage done was to a Target.

You're right. Serfs that die in whatever manner are of little consequence compared to the royalty and elites. How many serf's lives are equivalent to one royalty? A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand? How many little people families would have to be burned up in a fire to equal one jackass politician being burned in a fire?

Tell you what, the old lady that lives down the block is worth about ten thousand Bidens to me. And I'd feel worse if she were killed in a fire than I would if I heard on the morning radio news that multiple high-yield neutron bombs had just gone off in Washington DC.

Have any of those policemen been arrested as co-conspirators? And if not, why not?

People who didn't do any damage inside have been arrested, so why do the police get a pass?
interesting that capitol police claim they're immune to FOIA requests.

The Dem leaders in those areas were good with the riots, sooooo, you wanted Trump to be a dictator and go in and arrest the rioters?

Leadership in the states failed when they allowed the rioters to have free rein.
