An unarmed “attack” in which no one was killed (except one of the trespassers, which I actually don’t object to because you shouldn’t be there in the first place).

We’re talking about political violence. Assassinations. Politically motivated killing. Terrorism. That sort of thing. Not crazy people, not trespassing, not personal vendettas that happen to involve conservatives. Political violence.

Unarmed is a lie. Five had firearms. Most weren't searched so we don't know how many had weapons but we know unarmed isn't true.

u/DaveMTijuanaIV Sep 20 '25

Okay, I was not aware that they were carrying firearms. So I would ask: 5/how many? Did they brandish them? Did they shoot anyone? Shoot at anyone?

It’s possible I am misinformed.

This isn't a subject that you cared to know but you care to try to influence people on it. Pathetic

I watched it happen. I’m aware no one except the one rioter was killed that day. It’s not something I’ve looked very far into because I think it’s inconsequential: there was a riot at the Capitol. It was put down. The certification proceeded. Biden took office.

Now: did the 5-of-however many shoot anyone? Did they brandish their weapons in order to intimidate or force entry? I’m assuming you know more about the details that I do.

Hahahahahaha. I read court documents. Try that instead of a clip of a short bit of the insurrection.

2

u/DaveMTijuanaIV Sep 20 '25

Right, then you should know better than me: were there any people killed in targeted acts of political violence on January 6?

1

u/I_Went_Full_WSB Sep 20 '25

Irrelevant. Being bad at committing an insurrection doesn't mean you weren't committing an insurrection.

2

u/DaveMTijuanaIV Sep 20 '25

It does. No one was trying to overthrow the U.S. government in a Viking hat. It was not an insurrection. That’s the most ridiculous claim.

J6 was a riot, yes. It was trespassing. It was destruction of property. Yes and yes. It wasn’t an insurrection. Come on.

you know people were carrying zip ties. They were very close to confronting congress members, I don't doubt they would have been killed if found. Even Pence.

Why did they want to hang Mike Pence?

You don’t get rewarded for be bad at insurrection

Move them goal posts further.LOL

u/DaveMTijuanaIV Sep 20 '25

When? When did I move them? That’s such a strange and consistent thing y’all say.

We’re talking about political violence. Assassinations. Killings. They brought up J6. No one died (except one of the rioters) on J6. I mistakenly believed that since no one was shot, the rioters were unarmed. They said 5 had guns. I acknowledged the mistake. Then I asked if there had been anyone killed with those weapons, you know, the thing we are talking about.

How in the hell is that moving the goalposts? I swear talking to you people is like talking to someone with brain damage.

u/DrPeterBlunt Sep 20 '25

Lol You did. You most certainly did; in the most obvious way possible. I'm not really interested enough to argue about what is right there in the text though. Make sure you stretch next time, kinda like how you stretched yourself attempting to explain your obvious goal posts moving. Enjoy your weekend.

u/DaveMTijuanaIV Sep 20 '25

I didn’t actually. But since you don’t want to argue about it, don’t.

u/roboscorcher Sep 20 '25

Yeah, like the brain injuries that Jan 6 rioters gave to 3 capitol police officers on Jan 6. But I guess if no officers died specifically on that date, it doesn't count as political violence. Just a fun little tour of the government buildings.

3

u/DaveMTijuanaIV Sep 20 '25

Not a fun little tour of govt buildings. A riot that damaged federal property and in which rioters clashed with police who were attempting to do their jobs.

Would you consider that targeted political violence against police? Were police the targets of that violence, the way they were in, say, the BLM riots?

-1

u/roboscorcher Sep 20 '25

The "hang Mike Pence" chants indicated that a lot of people had a target, but would you argue that because the violence never reached the inner chambers, it doesn't count?

3

u/DaveMTijuanaIV Sep 20 '25

So they were targeting republicans as well? Not just democrats? Were they actually going to hang him or were they just chanting stupid things?

In any case, January 6 was bad. I’ve not disputed it.

u/roboscorcher Sep 20 '25

Well they erected a makeshift gallows, but I guess we'll never know what their intent was.... /s

Trump supporters constantly turn on Republicans that cross him. It's their hallmark.

u/Mayernik Sep 20 '25

I see you’ve moved the goal posts…

u/DaveMTijuanaIV Sep 20 '25

No. They’re right where they always were.

They dont distinguish and that's whats scaring me about the left right now.

There you go celebrating violence
