Bro, it was a trespassing event. There was minor property damage. I don't condone trespassing at all but you people are trying to blow this up into something it wasn't.
The real craziness was when BLM and Antifa REQUISITIONED A CITY BLOCK, created an ARMED BORDER, and SHOT AND KILLED PEOPLE who tried to broach that border!
Also, the entire Minneapolis PD was burnt to the ground, and over 30 murders and hundreds of arsons were committed in 2020, to the tune of 2 BILLION IN DAMAGES!
1/6 was not even in the same hemisphere as those events, yet you act like 1/6 was the worst thing to happen in the USA since like the civil war.
No one condones it, but let's be realistic of what it was.
They know what the left's extreme elements did to the country during the "Summer of Love" is a permanent stain on them and they see the opportunity with Jan6 to erase that stain so they're going all in on it. With the media's help they can use one incident to wipe out a whole summer's worth of incidents from their side. If this summer turns in to "Summer of Love 2.0" that one incident will be used to erase their responsibility for that as well. They own the narrative so they'll take advantage of it. They know it's garbage but they also know they can get away with it. Or at least they've been able to in the past.
You people are funny. Was anyone hanged? I can go to various tailgating parties around the country on any given saturday or sunday and see the opposing quarterback strung up in effigy.
You're seriously equating having a protest prop equal ACTUALLY hanging someone?
That's something a 3rd grader would do, isn't it?
That thing is like 4 feet tall. It's a prop. You can't ACTUALLY hang someone with that...you understand that, right?

Do you think, for one moment, Trump would have stood there and said go there and kill Pelosi and Pence? No, he wouldn't, because he's not stupid. At that point, HE would be arrested.
He's smart enough to tell them to go stop this process, and then tell them to be peaceful about it. Because he's got more than 2 IQ points to rub together.

I guess so. The "Right" so rarely protests at all that I guess they have to jump on 1/6 because they may not see it again for another 100 years.
The violent left protests every 3 to 5 years like clockwork since the 60s when they started voting Democrat en masse.
It's comical that they think a couple hundred middle aged people armed with iPhones actually thought they were "overthrowing" the US government. HAHA.

Sooooooo then, how was HE "inciting a riot" by telling people to PEACEFULLY MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD?

You listen to the speech yourself. It was masterful, actually, in a horrible way.
He incited them to go storm the Capitol. And they did it, thinking he'd pardon them.
Thinking actually he'd be with them, which is what he said. Wuups.
I think people who don't hear what he was intending to communicate fall into two categories:
they are gaslighting everyone else who understood his intent
or
they're the kind of people who can't understand unsaid messages. Like if you ask someone can I come in, and the other person says "um. Well . . . I guess . . . ok". All some people hear, is "yes"

So you can't give me any actual, concrete things he said...you just provide us with your emotional, mind-reading interpretation?
