Amazing, considering the year prior liberals caused $2 billion in damages in what was the most expensive rioting in world history, destroying entire neighborhoods in some U.S. cities, and there were barely any arrests at all.

The small minority of Jan 6 protesters who bypassed the barriers and entered the Capitol were idiots.
But their actions pale in comparison to the destructive violence, looting, arson, and murder committed by BLM rioters in the summer of 2020.
"most expensive rioting in world history,"

You've got to be joking. I guess you were born after the 1960s so those don't count? BTW, many of these riots caused whole neighborhoods and major sections of cities to be burned to the ground. Learn your history.

The 1960s saw the most serious and widespread series of race riots in the history of the United States. Major riots occurred in Birmingham, Alabama , in 1963; New York City in 1964; Watts in Los Angeles, California , in 1965; and Chicago, Illinois , in 1966. In 1967, alone, Tampa, Florida ; Cincinnati, Ohio ; Atlanta, Georgia ; Newark, Plainfield, and New Brunswick, New Jersey ; and Detroit, Michigan , all had riots. Riots erupted in more than 110 U.S. cities on April 4, 1968, the night civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (1929–1968) was assassinated.

Maybe by putting his face out there for an election, it kicked off one of the facial recognition programs the FBI uses to identify the rioters.

Anyone caught on camera at the Capitol that day should know they will be identified eventually.

You don't find it at all concerning the FBI came all the way to Michigan to arrest and search someone's house for a misdemeanor TRESPASSING charge? What evidence are they going to find in his house that he trespassed somewhere a thousand miles away, a year and a half ago? Would you be OK with the police searching YOUR house over a year-old trespassing charge? Mind you, he didn't even enter the capitol building -- they've arresting him basically just for being near there.
You missed the point. The FBI doesn't search anyone's house on a whim or on a hunch. They come only when they already found hard evidence.

Thread Title: FBI arrests Michigan gubernatorial candidate on charges related to involvement in January 6

Is he the guy that bludgeoned the cop to death with a fire extinguisher?

Oh wait, that was another Democratic pol-media hoax.

And now those very same hoaxsters are orchestrating more hearings to spread more hoaxes.

Who trusts them now?

The estimated cost of the "summer of love" riots is about $2 billion. Watts riot was small potatoes as far as cost.

Back then, the estimated cost of property damage exceeded $40 million, which would be translated into $300 million today.

The link (from 2014) is supposed to show the top 5 costliest riots, yet none of them were close to $2 billion from the 2020 riots.

I didn't deny a thing. Others said it was party line voting. I shwoed that Republicans were in the mix. I have no idea how anyone voted.

Why are you playing the race card? You have any evidence race was a factor? Let me repeat what should be stressed to Craig: "Tough noogies"!

Don't forget Tulsa, Springfield, Rosewood and the NYC draft riots -- all against black folks.

Same scam with trump supporters where FBI used falsified warrants. Like eric holder who falsified warrants and judge shopped to spy on journalists opposed to obama policies.

Whe is enough, enough?

2024 Trump cleans out the doj and agency leadership. Repubs need to dump Wray in November. Charge garland as well.


They're off to a great start.

They knocked off five of ten Republican candidates with a questionable signature review and now have dirtied up one of the remaining five with a well-timed arrest and home search.

Anyone out there ever been arrested for a misdemeanor and had their home raided by the FBI?

So you're saying they are bringing false charges? BS. If they've been arrested then good on the FBI for doing its job.

A): i do support an independent investigation/revue of the arrest.


B): that being said, simply running for political office should not be an automatic get out of jail free pass.


C): jan 6 arrests continue to this day ( and will most likely continue into the future ). it's not like this is an outlier happening years after the last arrest.


D): IMO it's ridiculous to believe this is an orchestrated effort to get rid of a political rival. currently whitmer has a substantial lead over all the GOP candidates plus it would make infinitely more sense to launch such an attack after the primaries, leaving the GOP scrambling to come up with a new candidate.
