We owe that man an untold debt of gratitude. Who knows what would have happened, had he not been so courageous, and quick-thinking.

They were professional agitators and rioters.



If it was antifa or BLM that stormed the Capitol on Jan6th do you really think they would have limited themselves to breaking some windows and sitting in Pelosi's chair?

Do you really think that they would have allowed the Capitol Police to escort them through the halls as they did with the Qanon shaman guy? Would they have left the chamber when requested by the Police? Would they have returned to peacefully file through the rotunda between the velvet ropes as the "insurrectionalists" did later that day?



I think the History of antifa and BLM has shown that they are far more violent and destructive to the institutions of this Nation than a mob of citizens caught up in the moment on Jan6th.



If they were there the Capitol would have burned that day.

After the "insurrectionalists were cleared out we didn't see any remnants of graffiti across the priceless paintings that line the halls, the statues of so many famous men were still perched on their pedestals. I say the Jan6th mob was actually very respectful but being on the "losing" side they do have to pay a price but it is a hypocritical one.

No it didn't but it could have because something that the Oath Keepers, Qanon, Proud Boys and the far more violent groups like antifa and BLM have in common is that they are all not happy with the Government and how they are treating us.



Isn't it odd how the groups that mostly talk and complain are the Domestic Terrorists BUT the groups that fight, loot, burn and destroy are seen by some as Social Justice Freedom Fighters?

I guess Main St USA can be an open battle ground but when the fight is taken literally to the House that is going way too far.... I say what is the difference?

If what-about and what-if could be turned to energy, this thread could light up the Eastern Seaboard.

Classy. And yes, the people voting against count among them exactly who you'd expect - rabble-rousers like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz.

One Trump hater murdered Ashley Babbitt. Did the murderer get a medal too?

The KAHM-nists are running our justice system and not just the leftist but even moderate conservatives agree with them. This is how strong if a bit bruised from the fight our country is. This is how would-be dictators and their goon squads get checkmated.
Fixed.
