There are already more than 200 arrest warrants out. More will be coming as the pissants turn on the other people in that riot.

The ringleaders won't get touched. No point rounding up a few footsoldiers if you're not going after those who matter. You can always get more cannon fodder.

Well. Now that the chump has denied culpability for inciting an insurrection, those very same people involved are now turning away from him. Don't make any bets about those crazy hot heads not going crazy on him, now that the worm has turned. It's what happens when you court the crazies.

The imagery of the attempt, has a very real impact on assholes who want to destroy our government. The fact they failed does not change the fact that the attempt was literally less than a minute away from the ability of killing members of congress and the VP.

We can expect future attempts by far right assholes on softer targets. Other state houses, or businesses or churches sympathetic to the left. 

Trump succeeded in making domestic terrorism a long term concern.

That mob would not have changed a thing about the US government.

Irrelevant the attempt is enough

Quote:They recently started calling the 67 Detroit riots "The Detroit uprising" as if the relabel makes it better.

Those two terms aren't mutually exclusive 

Quote:My SO's uncle - a retired National Guard Warrant officer was there as a PFC... His thoughts? "Fuck you - it was a goddamned riot".

Who gives a damn about his opinion? It was an insurrection and it was sedition.

Apparently not.


That's gotta be a real letdown to the more rabid left....




Wonder what else they overstated - just a bit?

Accuracy?

1. Not exactly.

Quote:In court, Todd Allison, a line prosecutor for the Justice Department in Arizona, said DOJ may want to argue that type of assertion if Chansley goes to trial, but cannot say that at the moment.  "We do not want to mislead the court by discussing the strength of any specific evidence" related to his intent, Allison said.

2.  So, a count of three makes an insurrection more acceptable to you than a count of five?

Boru

Indeed that CNN article is not an exoneration . They likely were planning to do both.

The ringleaders were the ones for whom the first warrants were issued. The feds looked at the available footage and determined who was calling the shots and reading from der Volkischer Beobachter.

You say, contrarian. I simply say right and am unapologetic about being so.
