I also wondered why they didn’t use tear gas or rubber bullets at jan 6. Trump legit had used it just to get a photoshoot holding the bible a couple of months earlier. If Antifa stormed the capital, they would 100% have used tear gas if not full lethal force. But the right gets away with it. :/
This is not true. First of all the speaker of the house has ZERO military authority. Second only the governor or president can call up the guard. Trump could have and should have called in protection but just didn’t
They did. There is video of one Jan 6th rioter who was shot in the cheek by a rubber bullet. It is likely one of the main incidents that helped elevate violence at the Capitol.
Those officers on duty at the Capitol building that day were incredibly restrained, so for them to use that sort of munition meant they were being overrun. As opposed to what happened today, where officers escalated the situation as quickly as possible.
Look I don't disagree that there were elements of the crowd that were already riling them up, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. But there is no denying that when one of the rioters was shot through the cheek, it justified in the minds of the other rioters the level of force they could then use.
those rioters were so into getting into the building that they wouldnt even have known what was going on at another area of the assault , they were armed .. and intent on breaking into the building to do harm to those inside .. at the behest of that f'n orange turd
The point here is that violence is almost always met with more violence. It doesn't matter which side you're on. Revenge for a perceived harm is built into our psyche. You hurt me or mine and I'm going to hurt you. It's as simple as it gets.
Can't seem to find the video of what happened when he was shot, but it was in a timeline video I saw years ago. But I was able to pinpoint when he was shot, 1:07 p.m.
Logically inconsistent, look up personal vs private property and then compare even those concepts to nation states. The world used to think monarchs were logical and it's as stupid and evil as nation states now
^^^This is exactly why I came to Bluesky. This chud on X just blends in w/ the other bots and trolls, but here, at least for now, they're immediately called out for being a weird as fuck. Crawl back under that rock you came from scumbag

Therefore the responsible person Nancy Pelosi could not activate the protection of your Capitol!
