Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Just so we're clear - you want me to elaborate on my point how an armed rebellion against a tyrannical monarchy and parliament is different than a mob attacking their own congressional representatives to stop a process b/c they are unhappy with the outcome. I won't call the Jan 6 event a rebellion or insurrection b/c you and others have said that it was a "mostly peaceful" protest.
The two aren't comparable. Among the many grievances: we have representation (the colonists didn't); We don't have soldiers quartered in our homes (the colonists did); The government had not tried to take away firearms (the British did). There were 27 grievances outlined in the Declaration of Independence explaining why we were leaving (and fighting.)
The government is engaged in immigration / population control so you might have a point with that one.

we have representation....do we really?
not taking away firearms....are they not, really?
And hey, YOU'RE the one who threw out "taxes" as the reason for the war....not me, bro.

"Florida Woman" giving "Florida Man" a run for his money....

It’s commonly known that many restaurants practice "no shirt, no shoes, no service."
But, one woman in Florida did not heed this warning when she decided to undress and trash a local Outback Steakhouse in the Marion County, according to viral videos shared on Reddit, Facebook and Twitter.
The Ocala Police Department confirmed to Fox News that the incident took place on June 1 with a copy of the woman’s arrest affidavit.

Was there violence? Yes.The following is a case law defining Insurrection:
Insurrection means “a violent uprising by a group or movement acting for the specific purpose of overthrowing the constituted government and seizing its powers. An insurrection occurs where a movement acts to overthrow the constituted government and to take possession of its inherent powers.”
Was the purpose to overthrow the constituted government? It could be argued that it was.

You left out the rest of her quote for some reason. Let me help
For example, this deplorable was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm on Capitol grounds.“I don’t want to speak on behalf of Metro and Capitol police, but, to my knowledge, none,” she added.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-relea ... 6/downloadAt approximately 1925 hours (7:25p.m.), I was assisting escorting individuals past an MPD line
when I noticed a man, later identified by his Maryland driver’s license as CHRISTOPHER
ALBERTS, to be slow in responding to orders to leave the premises. As I approached ALBERTS from his rear, I noticed a bulge on ALBERTS’ right hip. Based on my training and experience, I
recognized the bulge was consistent with that of a hand gun. While pushing ALBERTS towards
the line, I tapped the bulge with my baton and felt a hard object that I immediately recognized to
be a firearm. At the time, ALBERTS was also wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying a backpack.
At that point, I told two MPD officers next to him that ALBERTS had a firearm on his person.
ALBERTS, apparently hearing that, immediately tried to flee, but I was able to detain him with the
help of two other officers. A black Taurus G2C 9mm (Serial#AAL085515) was recovered from
D-1’s right hip. Additionally, a separate magazine was located on D-1’s left hip. Both the gun and
the spare magazine were in held in two separate holsters. The handgun had one round in the
chamber with a twelve round capacity magazine filled with twelve rounds; the spare magazine
also had a twelve round capacity and was filled with twelve rounds. MPD Officers also seized a
gas-mask from the defendant’s person as well as the defendant’s backpack containing a pocketknife, one packaged military meal-ready to eat (MRE), and one first-aid medical kit

The reason I didn't call it an insurrection is b/c according to you and the other MAGAts, it wasn't. If it wasn't an insurrection, then it can't be compared to something like Lexington and Concord. If it can't be compared to an armed uprising against the government then it's not comparable to what happened in the 1770s. Thus you proved my point that AZ is wrong.

I'm not a historian. But if you don't think taxes were a reason we went to war in 1775, then there's no helping you. It's sad that you don't understand the basics of our founding.

But I will, for the Bible says instruct the ignorant - British attempts to force the colonies the pay the debt following the French and Indian War created an effect where taxes were passed. These taxes were imposed with no colonists or colonial representative having a say. The colonists felt this was unjust and refused to pay (or let the shipments land). This caused the British to attempt to have greater control over the colonies via royal governors, tax collectors, disbanding local assemblies.. The colonists didn't like their civil liberties and BAU life being usurped. This lead to revolts, tension. These lead to events like the Boston Massacre. British soldiers were quartered in the colonists homes to exert control. This lead to more animosity which resulted in, among other things, the confiscation (or the attempt) of weapons. This lead to Colonists fighting for survival and eventually to hostilities at Lexington and Concord.
https://www.britannica.com/event/American-RevolutionThe American Revolution was principally caused by colonial opposition to British attempts to impose greater control over the colonies and to make them repay the crown for its defense of them during the French and Indian War (1754–63). Britain did this primarily by imposing a series of deeply unpopular laws and taxes, including the Sugar Act (1764), the Stamp Act (1765), and the so-called Intolerable Acts (1774).
https://www.ncpedia.org/history/usrevolution/reasonsBy 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.

But I will, for the Bible says instruct the ignorant - British attempts to force the colonies the pay the debt following the French and Indian War created an effect where taxes were passed.

https://www.britannica.com/event/American-RevolutionThe American Revolution was principally caused by colonial opposition to British attempts to impose greater control over the colonies and to make them repay the crown for its defense of them during the French and Indian War (1754–63). Britain did this primarily by imposing a series of deeply unpopular laws and taxes, including the Sugar Act (1764), the Stamp Act (1765), and the so-called Intolerable Acts (1774).
https://www.ncpedia.org/history/usrevolution/reasonsBy 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
No shit sherlock. But if you are going to broaden the definition of 'armed" to include ANYTHING that can be used as a weapon you could throw in keys, shoelaces, stuff carried in bags that could be swung, etc, meaning most people would be armed most of the time. To the lay person, 'armed insurrection' would mean firearmS.Ibanez wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 5:37 amThe reason I didn't call it an insurrection is b/c according to you and the other MAGAts, it wasn't. If it wasn't an insurrection, then it can't be compared to something like Lexington and Concord. If it can't be compared to an armed uprising against the government then it's not comparable to what happened in the 1770s. Thus you proved my point that AZ is wrong.

You won’t call it an insurrection because you can’t.

I'm not sure you're aware but being "armed" isn't the same as having a gun. You can be armed and have a gun, a knife, tazers, a sword, a baseball bat, a pitchfork.

You're right. Nothing else was there. You intimated it was all about the taxes. Be better.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
No, you made that assumption. Own it, bro. Again - If you don't understand our history and the main causes for the American Revolution by now, then I can't help you. Taxes were such a major part of it.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I didn't broaden the definition. To be armed is to carrying a weapon. Guns are but 1 type of weapon. Molotov coctails are another. As are tazers.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 8:13 amNo shit sherlock.
