The "other side" did far worse, and people like you don't seem to have a problem with it. You only have a problem when those you don't like do even a fraction of what you dismiss from your own side.

Then the original claim that they had the real thing is another false claim.

Thanks for further confirming my point.

Yes, LOL, completely serious. Not even Elastigirl could hold up to the stretching that's going on here. But I'll sit down and shut up if someone can produce justice department proceedings showing that any of the persons involved in building the goofy gallows has been convicted of attempted murder. Or even charged! Heaven knows the DoJ has been as generous and creative as possible with charges related to the riot. I'd say that putting away those responsible for plotting an attempt on VP Pence's life and plopping down on site a gallows to do the deed…would be pretty high up on their to-prosecute list.
I mean, someone here who wants to keep pushing this line has to offer something beyond just an opinion, right?

I didn't know that your point was that your side did far worse and that you're simply projecting.
I'm glad we have agreement though.

Well, you got me there. Because I know nothing of any charges related to the gallows. And I'm pretty sure they can track those folks down. That's why I'm hoping an accuser here can produce something of substance (you know, like they do in court when someone's accused of a very serious crime), so this silly thread will wrap itself up.
Pardon me for asking, but do you believe that justice is only done when Republicans are in power and that the Democrats can't be trusted? Or is it purely down to states and as to not trusting any such represented by Democrats? I live in the UK and would howl if such existed here - as to various counties behaving differently because they had an MP from one party rather than another.

Mmmhmmmm ... whatabout, whatabout, whatabout ...
You know, all your whataboutisms betray the fact that you know what this crowd did is wrong, but you only view it as wrong when the "other side" does it.
By the way, I'm not a Democrat. We don't have those in Canada.
Also, can you please point out to me where I've supported any effigies or gallows of any kind?

I washed my hands of political parties over a decade ago. So I have nothing to offer if the question is about political parties, other than that they are toxic, and are a prime contributor to social and political discord, ills and dysfunction.Pardon me for asking, but do you believe that justice is only done when Republicans are in power and that the Democrats can't be trusted?

Another view of it: File:2021 storming of the United States Capitol DSC09125 (50826361168).jpg - Wikipedia
But it's ok. Apparently it's art. January 6th was an art show that go out of hand?
Had the artists got a hold of anyone like say...Mike Pence, I am sure it would have been to just discuss the art they were creating.

Oh man, I'd not seen a photo showing the disclosure before. Looks like those who built the gallows foresaw that there would be people whose minds would melt over their art and would want to convict them of a crime without due process, like has happened in this thread.
Yeah, I'm done with this thread. Someone message me if anyone comes up with an official charge related to the hangman's art.

Art should be tolerated.

I am sure the folks who put "This is art" seriously meant it, right? What else could it have been there for?

A gallows as art in this case is not as big an issue as burning down a Target store to protest commercialism.

Just what they said it was for—art...expression.

They meant to make a statement, yes. That's what art does.

Expression and statements are well and good, but violently breaking into a place and seeking out the people there with threats of violence and with angry grievances kinda gives a particular expression and statement, eh?
Guitar's Cry
Disciple of Pan
Yeah, ok. How about violently breaking into the Capitol to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power with threats to "Hang Mike Pence" and attempting to get at the Senators and Vice President?

Yes. A prosecutable one. I believe those who did the latter were prosecuted, but those responsible for the gallows were not. At least, not for their artwork.
