Ross saw it was NOT mostly peaceful, which is why he reacted to John’s post. I had the same gut reaction, but I wasn’t sure if John actually believed that to be true or the post was sarcastic. Sorry anyone thinking that was mostly peaceful is blind, never saw a single video released or want to white wash it away like many on the right are attempting to do. Carry on with, as others have so accurately described this forum, the endless circle jerk.

John said the "protest," not the riot, was mostly peaceful. There were 30 thousand "protesters" there on Jan6. It was, by far, by numbers, a mostly peaceful protest.

Yup like I said, that is the whitewashing going on.

Would it be truthful to label the vast, vast, majority of the thirty thousand protesters as violent insurrectionists, seditionists, threats to democracy, malicious attackers of police and destroyers of federal property, etc.?

If it was proper to refer to the destructive riots that occurred throughout the past two years as mostly peaceful (presumably because most of the protesters didn't participate in the rioting), then there is no so-called whitewashing to say that Jan6 was mostly peaceful.

And, anyway, John may have also been throwing some sarc back at how those protests were referred to as "mostly peaceful."

not many of "the forces" have been charged with trying to overthrow the country either....you'd think that would be a layup....

John probably applied the same litmus test they used to describe the "Summer of Love" protests as "Mostly Peaceful"

Answering for myself; I do not agree with any of those being characterized as peaceful. They were there for a confrontation. Portland is perfect example. Violence is violence. Less violence does not earn an event the peaceful description. Half wrong? Kinda pregnant? Just doesn't fly.

Jim loves to take the far left media talking points and suggest those are our views.

Ps: I’m sure many weren’t happy to listen to the AG’s speech today, it’s far from over and those mostly peaceful individuals involved behind the scenes might be nervous.

is CNN far left?

let me ask you point blank. which was more violent, the blm riots of 2020 or january 6? if you say january 6, on what basis ( deaths, hospitalizations, property damage $) would you say january 6?

have fun.

it’s not just the fringe left that does what you’re claiming i cling to. 99% of the left does it.

AOC mocks FL for dangerously managing covid, then is seen partying maskless at a FL bar. When conservatives call out the hypocrisy ( because no one on the left would dare do it). she says people dislike her because she’s got and we can’t have her.

zero criticism from the left.

Jim is AOC or CNN debating January 6th with you on this board, don’t lump all democrats or independents who voted Biden into your narrative. January 6th is far and away worse than any BLM protest gone bad, but I know you will never admit it was.

Police ended up dying and committing suicide shortly thereafter.

Lot's of people get charged w/murder when they participate in crimes even if they didn't pull the trigger.

one died of natural causes. natural causes.

i am aware that more than some committed suicide after. i’m not aware of their psychological
records, i presume you aren’t either so we don’t know why. but if they committed suicide because of trespassers, then we need stricter requirements for who qualifies for federal law enforcement.

That is one of the stupidest statements, I guess the military better tighten up their vetting also Jim, maybe everyone could all benefit from your ability to identify those individuals who could possibly be severely affected by ptsd and might take their own lives in the future. You probably already have the winning powerball numbers too, man I wish I could see the future, what a gift.

ptsd from combat is something anyone can understand.

i’m not sure i buy that anyone has ever been driven to suicide because of dealing with trespassing and low grade vandalism.
