But was it "mostly peaceful"  that is clearly the most important thing.  As long as it it "mostly peaceful" we have nothing to worry about.

If such a person existed, he could tell them this is NOT the way forward and to stop.


As many excuses as I have made for 'such a person' over the last 4 years, there is no excuse today. The stupidity of the Left in Seattle and all the other democratic cities during the summer protests does NOT excuse this. I can't wait until he is gone, but his ugly legacy is going to last for a long, long time, I'm afraid... :(  :(  :(

Nice take. I agree.

I will not stop calling out the election fraud and neither will 70 Million+ people. The only hope for reconciliation and unity would be to let all the evidence be presented and do a full audit of contested states.


Yet the courts, and more importantly, the facts, don't support your claims. I'm sorry that you and your ilk are incapable or unwilling to see that.

People will die because of this stupidity. Hope you are comfortable with that.

it's  not about excusing anything, I said this last year.  If the riots of 2020 result in winning the election, they are creating a strategic roadmap for their counterparts.

I think it's fair to ask if CNN will report the riot as "mostly peaceful." I'm sorry if I don't feel a whole lot of sympathy for people who refused to condemn left-wing violence all summer are now facing right-wing violence. When law and order is thrown out the window, this is what you get. We begged for our leaders to lead and stop the violence. They didn't. Whatever happens today is on the people who wouldn't uphold our laws during the BLM riots. They showed America that violence pays.

Gee, I wonder who that could be?

I'm sorry, I don't remember you calling on democrat leaders to renounce the violence of BLM and the antifa idealogy, all year last year. Did I miss it?

Antifa and BLM have gotten away with this for several years now
I guarantee you, these fools will not.

There's a huge disconnect between protesters on the street and those attacking the Capitol. The former, who are peacefully asserting their First Amendment right to assemble, appear to be unaware of what's going on on the Capitol grounds.

This was the Capitol Police during a BLM march last year...

They didn't get away with anything there.

Stevie Wonder coulda saw this coming. Why not a similar show of force today?
