January 6th, Just What Was It?

[ImmortalFlame]

The riot was serious and stupid! Like the riot at the White House when the church was set on fire by a Leftist mob. Like the hundreds of riots and looting by BLM, ANTIFA and spoiled leftist children all across the country the previous years.

There you go, narrativizing and making stuff up again because you can't just talk about one thing.

No churches were burnt down. There were no "leftist mobs". The violence at various BLM protests was almost unanimously condemned. The fact that you say things like this while constantly trying to ignore or downplay facts about January 6 just shows how biased you are.

Stop talking about politics. You're really bad at it.

My point it that it wasn't a serious attempt at an insurrection.

Not a successful one, no. But it was still an insurrection.

 

[ImmortalFlame]

Both you and ImmortalFlame agree with the sentiments in the Tweet while calling it random.

No, I do not. I agree she was domestic terrorist, but don't agree she "got what she deserved".

Do not ever lie about me again.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Both you and ImmortalFlame agree with the sentiments in the Tweet while calling it random.

LOL Nope. I don't wish that for anyone, even if she was a domestic terrorist. You're just as bad a mind reader as you are a debater, apparently.

Oh and see how you didn't even address the content of my post and instead tried to disparage me? Yeah. Apparently that's all you've got.

 

[Colt]

No, I do not. I agree she was domestic terrorist, but don't agree she "got what she deserved".

Do not ever lie about me again.

Tell your therapist about these triggers.

 

[ImmortalFlame]

Tell your therapist about these triggers.

Run out of responses, so you're just running back to the buzzwords again?

Maybe we can go to the same therapist. They might be able to do something about the "burning churches" and "leftist mobs" you're imagining. Maybe they can help you to cope with the horrible, crippling emotional attachment you feel towards domestic terrorists.

Like I said, one doesn't have to be in the throes of excitement to have a heart attack.

Right. Bob Odenkirk had a heart attack on the set of Better Call Saul as he was itting with two of his co-stars. They saved his life. He had a clogged artery that was cleared. Had he been in his dressing room he would have died. It can happen.

Of course Bob and your husband did not have chemicals sprayed in their faces, first. They weren't attacked by an angry mob, first.

What police died or were injured on January 6?

Do you want their names and addresses? There are reports of well over 100 police officers were injured. One lost an eye. Others had serious injuries that they were hospitalized for. There is surely a resource somewhere that details all the injuries. One police officer was being attacked and feared he was going to be murdered, and the attacker stopped once the officer said that he has kids. Only then did the rioter see the officer as a human being that deserves life.

Do you think the actions of the Jan 6 rioters was justified, and the injuries the police suffered was just part of the job?

 

[F1fan]

The riot was serious and stupid! Like the riot at the White House when the church was set on fire by a Leftist mob. Like the hundreds of riots and looting by BLM, ANTIFA and spoiled leftist children all across the country the previous years.

My point it that it wasn't a serious attempt at an insurrection.

So you are feeling anxiety about what the Jan 6 rioters did and trying despertaely to find counter examples as if it is all normal and everyone is equal.

The BLM protests were 93% peaceful, and much of the violence was found to include white supremacists who intended to taint the reputation and events. You are making use of their actions here.

And BLM was protesting police brutality and crimes against black citizens, do you not agree with them on that? Or should black people live in fear in America?

Washington DC fires rage overnight as rioters burn historic church​

June 1, 2020

Chaotic scenes of violence and widespread fires engulfed Washington, D.C. on Sunday as protesters took to the streets for a third consecutive night following the death of George Floyd. It is believed that rioters have been organized by Antifa and other far left organizations to take advantage of the situation.

On Sunday evening, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced on Twitter that she was imposing a citywide curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Monday in an effort to stem the violent clashes and rioting. The mayor in her tweet also said she was activating the D.C. National Guard to support the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, just hours before the curfew was set to start, peaceful protests escalated into tense standoffs with police, with many flocking to Lafayette Square, just steps from the White House. Numerous photos and video footage circulating online show police firing rubber bullets, tear gas, and pepper spray in an effort to disperse large crowds of protesters there and on surrounding streets.

Metro Voice

"D.C. police said Sunday night that they were responding to “multiple fires intentionally set” around the city, including one at St. John’s Episcopal Church on H Street NW, a historic landmark built in 1814 and located just across the street from the White House. Officials warned people to avoid the area. The fire has since been extinguished with extensive damage to the church that almost all presidents have attended.

Police told USA Today that two Target stores in the Lafayette area had been broken into. The publication reported that an American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) building was also set on fire and vandalized, with protesters smashing the windows of the building.

Democrat strategist and consultant Adam Parkhomenko tweeted that it “looks like a war zone outside the White House,” along with a short video showing fire and thick smoke behind graffiti-covered cement barriers. Numerous businesses downtown had boarded up doors and windows in the area in anticipation of a night of looting

BLM is an opportunistic shake down mob that uses intimidation and threats to profit for selfish gain.

The biggest threat by far in America to black men is other black men! Cops are called into black neighborhoods to deal with rampant violence and other crimes.

Except the church wasn't burnt down. It's still there. The fire started in the basement and was put out before it spread.

Also, what point do you think you're making? This violence was always condemned.

[Colt]

Chants "Pigs in a blanket" from the BLM mob.

Do they scare you that much? Talk about being triggered.

The biggest threat by far in America to black men is other black men! Cops are called into black neighborhoods to deal with rampant violence and other crimes.

And why do you think that is? Do you think black people are just genetically predisposed to violence against each other?

Oh, "technically" the church wasn't burned down!

Are you going to get back on topic any time soon, or are you going to continue distracting us by talking about the BLM protests as if you remotely care or know anything about them?

No, it wasn't. It's still there.

I've had a number of dealings with violent black men in my lifetime, from being robbed at my job to my 17 year old daughter being gang raped by 3 of them.

If BLM REALLY wanted to do something about the murder rate of black men then they would demand justice in their own community instead of harracing people out for dinner!

 

[Colt]

Are you going to get back on topic any time soon, or are you going to continue distracting us by talking about the BLM protests as if you remotely care or know anything about them?

LOL! Dont like the truth so lets get back to the massive war at the Capitol Building!

 

[Colt]

No, it wasn't. It's still there.

.....but its still there!

 

[metis]

One person was shot by Capitol police. Two people died of heart attacks (one died before the riots began). One person died of an accidental overdose of prescription meds.

Heck my husband died of a sudden heart attack just driving down the road on his way in to work one morning. One doesn't have to be in the throes of excitement to die of a heart attack.

So that excuses what these people were doing on January 6th, eh?

Let me post a short video of what happened and see what you think if this happened at your home:

I don't know what that's a picture of, but I don't think it's the "historic church":


"A fire was set in the basement nursery of historic St. John’s Episcopal Church, across Lafayette Square from the White House, during demonstrations Sunday night expressing outrage at the death of George Floyd in police custody.

Although the protests were largely peaceful in the afternoon and evening, small groups of people began setting fires and smashing windows once darkness fell.

Shortly after 10 p.m., someone tore down the American flag that hangs outside the butter-yellow church and appeared to toss the flag into a nearby fire. A glass door or window was shattered.

A person sprayed graffiti: “The Devil is across [the] street.”

D.C. police said a small fire was deliberately set in the basement. Under police escort, D.C. firefighters quickly extinguished it. Fire department spokesman Vito Maggiolo said the blaze did not appear to cause any significant damage.

“I guess God was on its side,” Maggiolo said. “It didn’t seem to have spread very much.”
