Insurrection Story is Falling Apart
Posted: February 12th, 2021, 6:01 pm
Like so many of the other hysterical fever dream conspiracy theories peddled over the last 5 years, much of the reporting about the events of 1/6 is turning out to be total bullshit.
Regarding the people who entered the Capitol to run around and take selfies:
-They were hEaViLy ArMeD! :blowup ...FALSE
-Okay, well maybe not, but tHeY hAd GuNz!! :mad ...FALSE
-Okay, well maybe not, but tHeY bRoUgHt ZiPtIeS!!! :meltdown ...FALSE
-Okay, well maybe not, but tHeY pLaNnEd To KiDnAp and/or mUrDeR RoMnEy, PeNcE, aNd AoC!!!! :eb ...ZERO EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THIS
-Okay, well maybe not, but tHeY lITtErAlLy MuRdErEd A cOp WiTh A fIrE eXtInGuIsHeR!!!!! :banghead ...FALSE
-Okay, well maybe not, but tHeY lITtErAlLy MuRdErEd... SoMeOnE!!!!!! :frustrated ...ZERO EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THIS
*they did confiscate some guns from someone at a nearby hotel who didn't even attend the protest, and found a firearm on an FBI agent who was authorized to carry a weapon
*cop left zipties on a table and someone picked them up, per Biden DOJ
*RE: fire extinguisher lie: [ img ]
*RE: fire extinguisher lie: Sicknick left the protest fully alive and complained of shortness of breath after returning to his office. And though they have known the cause of death for weeks now, that info will not be released to the public. I wonder why... :thought
This "attempt to overthrow the government" was so out of control it could only be stopped by... a 6PM curfew? Some people actually obey curfews, apparently. :dunno
So, for less than half a day roughly 10,000 Republicans did what 16M-26M (per NYT) Democrats did for several months. And maybe 200 got violent (but not as violent) as the tens of thousands of Democrats.
But let's remember: while the 16M-26M (and tens of thousands) over several months DO NOT represent Democrats as a whole, the 10,000 (and ~200) over a few hours DO represent ALL Republicans. :lolthumb
Also, the thousands of Dems who stormed the Capitol in 2018 (police didn't even bother to stop them) and set several blocks of DC on fire in 2020 are not to be discussed. ;)
Now, back to your regularly scheduled faux outrage... :dog
