Capitol building overrun by protesters

[Father Heathen]

No you don't know their intent. Please provide a list of the names of all the "peaceful protesters" so we can verify their intentions. You must know their names if you know their intentions.

Their chants and signage might be a clue.

 

[Father Heathen]

You are making my point. Most of those sources don't discuss the fighting between the protesters and the police. They ignored that part of the story. They lack credibility by omission.

Or FOX News, as it's known to do, spun the story to fit a political narrative: Fox News controversies - Wikipedia

Their chants and signage might be a clue.

Or misdirection. One way to verify, give us their names. You think you know their intentions, so surely must at the least know their names which is easier than knowing their intentions.

You are suggesting Wikipedia is a more credible source than Fox News. Based on those standards of yours I think we can dismiss your complaint. Your biased opinion of Fox doesn't change the fact that they published particulars of this story that your so-called "credible" source didn't. Your irrational fear and hatred of Fox News doesn't mean they aren't credible.

Yes, yes, everything that doesn't gel with the backwater bumpkin narrative must be some vast, convoluted conspiracy. It couldn't possibly be due to citizens growing sick and tired of a trash ideology and it's constant failings.

I'm sorry but it looks like you are defending the January 6th protesters now.

So it's all of the other news outlets in the world spinning the story, and not a single outlet with an establish history of doing so?
Do you really consider it unfathomable that people might consider routine piles of dead school children to be a serious problem?

So you're saying that you consider democracy to be a trash ideology? That the elections "failed" because the American people removed the MAGA cultists' orange messiah from office?

I would say yes, Wikipedia is more reliable than Fox news. It's easier to check sources and it's more transparent.

An angry mob estimated to be over 1,000 people overran a Capitol building. The mob took over the lobby of the building and caused a disruption of the legislative session. They attempted to enter the legislative chambers and fought with the police trying to keep them out. Three legislators supported the mob.

I can see "free speech zones" the brainchild of the left wing since the Alanta 1988 DNC isn't being applied here.

For the health and safety of the protesters of course.

Not really.

It gets a bit wacked when you see stuff like , Edited by " XXxFluffyxXX"

Many lawmakers have repeatedly brushed gun violence under the rug and let blood be spilled at the altar of "gun rights." They shouldn't even pretend to be surprised now that people's anger has reached boiling point.

If they're alarmed by a peaceful protest, that should put into perspective how heinous their negligence toward violence has been. At least they don't have to worry about mass shooters armed to the teeth like schoolchildren and teachers do.

Oftentimes, in events like this, checking out the local news sites might give different perspectives than the national news sites.

Tennessee protest: Authorities confirm no arrests, damage as Dems blast 'insurrection' claims

House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, and other House Republicans have taken to the airwaves and social media to liken the event to the attack on the U.S. Capitol, which left scores of police officers injured and resulted in millions of dollars of damage. A number of conservative media outlets have even suggested that Thursday's protests were violent in nature.

But the Tennessee Highway Patrol has said the protest was peaceful, with no property damage or arrests. Democratic lawmakers noted as much and blasted Republicans for mischaracterizing the Tennessee residents — some children — who came to the Capitol.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol said the protest was peaceful, with no property damage or arrests.

Tennessee Highway Patrol officers pulled one young man from the crowd when the path from the House chamber to the public restroom was briefly blocked for a lawmaker, but he was allowed to return to the hourslong protest.

"It was a loud demonstration but resolved peacefully," said Lt. Bill Miller, THP public information officer. "It was resolved with no arrests and no damaged property."

But hours later, after conservative media made the comparison to Jan. 6, Sexton's story on the protesters changed. During an appearance on the Hal Show on FM 98.7 he suggested that some protesters tried to force their way into the legislative chambers, which eyewitnesses did not see and THP did not report.

Imagine if American officials cared as much about the frequency of mass shootings as they did "property damage."

The US is seriously close to collapsing under the weight of its domestic issues. The rot and corruption of its system are being laid bare for the world to see.

This makes zero sense. Who exactly would be establishing "free speech zones", and where, and why?
Keep in mind the republicans' current war on books, so they're certainly not championing free speech.

Uh, oh. Conservatives are supposed to unconditionally support law enforcement officers, so the fact that the Highway Patrol has contradicted their claims poses quite a dilemma for them.

Yeah, it's been a long time coming. We, the people and voters in this country, should have known better. There's no shortage of people out there with all kinds of ideas on how to fix the system - from all political factions and all across the spectrum. There's a plethora of YouTubers, bloggers, social media influencers, @Revoltingest - all with their own ideas on how to make the world a better place. I have my ideas, too, but I also realize they have no chance of ever being realized.

So, even if America is going to hell in a handbasket, at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Just thinking on the push for making our valuable protesters happy and healthy.

It only matters if (R)’s do that. Looting, violence, property destruction, political prosecution are acceptable on the left.

It's funny how you seem bothered by American citizens criticizing the government.
