So, the death (by excessive use of force by a capitol policeman, mind you) is what makes it an "insurrection"? Not the illegal entry, occupation or protestation of?

And sure there was no damage. AOC fucking INVITED THEM IN.

She was attempting to enter a government building by force during a riot. She fucked around and found out.

Yeah I don't have any sympathy for her. Could the killing been avoided? Sure, but she was literally trying to kick down a barricaded door. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

"A riot". Your comment is a riot.

They pump out some quality shit.

[Ibanez]

I'm doing neither. Just a comparison between 2 wildly different events. The BLM riots would be a closer example.

You're trying to belittle the other non-sanctioned events by use of the Capitol Riot...which is exactly what you said shouldn't be done.

I was being a bit hyperbolic but nevertheless, I wasn't rationalizing the protest.

Yeah. Even the Republican Congressman who watched it said there was no choice but to shoot her..and that was after he helped barricade the door.

I'm sure he was barricading the door b/c they just wanted to talk to him about extending his car warranty.

If it was a "riot" then it was 99.999999% peaceful, given where the bar has been set by the MSM on BLM "protests" that have caused billions and billions in damages and led to the deaths of 20+ people.

You use whatever word you want to, sweetheart.

Ted Bundy was 99.999% peaceful with women until he decided to murder them. What a stupid rationalization.

I didn't make the rules, I just follow them, dude. It wasn't a riot, by any reasonable measure.

Then what was it?

Then what was it?

A peaceful protest. Duh...

[Baldy]

Well I’m not a pandering politician so……..

I give up, kalm. What am I missing?

I think he's trying to claim that it was an existential threat to our democracy.

[UNI88]

I didn't make the rules, I just follow them, dude. It wasn't a riot, by any reasonable measure.

Then what was it?

A mostly peaceful forced entry sit-in?

Kalm likes to ask what would have happened had the protesters caught Pence, Pelosi, AOChe, etc. Why doesn't he ask what would have happened if the Portland AnTiFa protesters would have gained entry into a government building?

[Ivytalk]

I can’t get above a 2. It was a riot, which is bad, but riots happen all the time, and it was hardly a threat to our “democracy.”

Oh boy, now Raul is comparing 1/6 people to Ted Bundy.

Oh god no. I was making an asinine comparison to mock Az for his.

This, at best, Defcon Cookie Monster....perhaps a borderline Bert

Are you kidding? For 99.999% of the people who were there, it was the opportunity of a lifetime, a party like freaking Woodstock. There weren't running gun battles and people getting pummeled in the streets for hours on end.

Yeah. More people die at concerts, so this was not a riot.

I agree with this basically. It was a violent mob and it certainly was a riot. But there was 0.00% chance of it ever resulting in a coup or a threat to our democracy or anything else some people have said it was a "close call". A couple hundred whackos wearing MAGA hats weren't about to make the other 330 million of us agree to whatever puppet government they would've tried to set up. I think this is why the closing of the Capitol building for almost 2 years irks me. Nothing that happens there, and no one who works there, is so central to our democracy that without them we would be doomed. Washington DC isn't that important, nor the folks who work there.

Where's the "0" option?

Yeah went with 1 because no zero.

Ok so you agree hundreds of BLANTIFA in Portland should have been shot by the police last yr. Because hundreds of them tried to enter a govt fed building/courthouse by force.

Yep. By that standard hundreds of BLANTIFA what the msm referred to as ‘protets’ were actually riots.
