Why did the capitol cops allow it to stay? A weapon is a weapon, whether it is strongly constructed or poorly constructed and labeled as art, is it not?

The more I hear about what the capitol cops had done, or completely failed to do, the more these images come to mind:

Good summary on what the committee is ignoring, how the election was rigged:


"...But stealing an election by fraud is not the only way to rig an outcome. Elections are rigged when systemic violations of election law occur, disparately favoring one candidate and allowing for tens of thousands of illegal votes to be counted.

And the election was rigged with every illegal drop box placed in Democrat-heavy precincts.

The election was rigged when the Pennsylvania legislature unconstitutionally authorized no-excuse absentee voting and when Philadelphia clerks illegally inspected ballots and then told Democrat activists which voters needed to cure their ballots for their votes to count.

The election was rigged when Wisconsin election officials ignored the state election code, telling voters they were “indefinitely confined” because of Covid and that nursing homes could ignore Wisconsin’s requirement that special voting deputies oversee elections in residential facilities.

The election was rigged with every dollar of Zuck Bucks designed to get out the Democrat vote, and with every leftist activist embedded in county clerks’ offices to push such efforts while accumulating untold voter data to the benefit of the Biden campaign.

The election was rigged when Georgia rendered the election code’s mandate of signature verifications inoperable and the state court delayed a hearing on Trump’s challenge to the Georgia outcome until after the vote certification, thereby ignoring evidence that more than 35,000 illegal votes were included in the state’s tally — more than enough to require a court to throw out the election...."

Did each of these states investigate the allegations you listed? The way I understand it, each state is responsible for running elections the way they see fit. You or I do not have to agree with how they do it.

Do you have any information about any investigations of wrongdoing for these allegations in these states?

The capitol cops didn't have control. There weren't enough of them. This should be quite obvious by now.

Also a gallows is not a weapon. Erecting one in this case for this purpose is a terroristic threat, however, and was illegal for that reason. But again, no way the capitol police could arrest everyone saying "hang Mike Pence."
