The election reinforces my Jan 6th opinion

[RJ_MacReady]

We went way to soft on them. In fact the police treated them with kids gloves. The insurrection should have been put down by force.

[GreenWave]

1. True, but the riot gear was locked up as I understand it.

And Trump would have capitalized on that making them martyrs. The guy who needed to be captured and charged with treason was Trump. But no way they would do that.

[RandiFan1290]

2. I agree

Don't forget the gentle treatment of the the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge terrorists in 2014.

[BlueTsunami2018]

3. They should have been gunned down without prejudice.

Once they breached the building and were beating and crushing police in the hallways.


I’ll always maintain that if what occurred on January 6th was done by a BLM protest, the Capitol would have been littered with corpses.

Garland fucked us all. They should have gone right after the top guys.

[RJ_MacReady]

4. I agree

The moment they broke through windows they should have opened fire.

[malaise]

9. In hindsight you are correct

10. To partially quote Col. Jessup, "YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT!!!!"

I mean, is ol' Merrick just the Federalist Society's answer to Alan Colmes or what?

[HappyH]

23. Crowd control

Was woefully inadequate by design. The authorities knew there was going to be a large unruly mob in DC and “storming” the Capital had been discussed publicly. I think a few water cannons would have been very effective at preventing the breech of the Capital.
I am very non-violent and loath the idea of bloody conflict with our MAGA countrymen. However, Mike Roger’s recent comments have me reconsidering my stand.

[Irish_Dem]

5. None of the higher ups were charged.

The organizers, the planners, the funders.

The members of congress who obviously knew about it and assisted with J6.
In fact some of them keep getting elected to congress over and over as a reward.

Who planted the bomb in the DNC?
Who detached the panic buttons in Dem leader offices?

FBI has some ideas.
There are no secrets in Washington DC.

[TheRickles]

7. Good questions, but unless that info surfaces or is leaked before Jan 6, we'll probably never know the answers.

[Irish_Dem]

8. We know who some of the planners and funders were.

There were meetings, pictures, reports, texts.

[johnnyfins]

13. Might be time for some of the

"Career Officials", who TSF will fire, to spill some tea. Just sayin...

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Don't forget Ginny Thomas. Are all the fake electors in various states now free to keep criming? Feels like

we are shifting into a Russia style country or Hungary anyhow.

[BigMin28]

6. Any other group

If that had been any other group of people attacking the Capitol in the same way, January 6th would have been a bloodbath. Nothing and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

[Bluethroughu]

15. BLM protesters singing and sitting maced and beat.

[lastlib]

16. ...and grabbed off the street by "security agents"....

I will never forget or forgive that.

[doc03]

11. I have been saying that since J6th the first person that jumped through that

window entering the capital should have been shot. Once the first person was shot trying to get
in the House chambers their attack fell apart quickly. Instead of escorting them out of the building like a
bunch of rowdy teenagers they all should have been zip tied at the door. I don't buy that shit it wasn't possible.
If they would have been BLM it would have gone down like I just described or worse. P.S. that pos
Garland should have been fired the next day.

[lastlib]

17. (um, Garland wasn't in office yet.....)

[bigtree]

18. the AG that sucessfully arrested and prosecuted over 1200 rioters and riot leaders

...on charges up to the rarely used and rarely successful crime of Sedition?

The stuff that gets said...

[Lucky Luciano]

12. I've said many times that a lot more machine guns were needed.

Should have been 500 dead MAGAts.

[Bluethroughu]

14. I said from that day, lock them all up for 20 years.

The maximum for sedition. They knew they were there to overturn and take over the government. It was never about a protest.

They will all be pardoned, let out of prison and most likely given JOBS OF AUTHORITY.

[ChazInAz]

20. Wouldn't it be terrible

If, upon their release, their photos, names and addresses were doxed?

[Tickle]

19. Now I fear they will become heroes

or some kind of martyr. This is getting interesting to say the least

[yardwork]

22. I think that would have been worse.

I know some law and order types who still think Jan 6 was all Nancy Pelosi's fault, and the protesters were just patriots who were fed up with something something BLM something crime something something mumble glare...

So if more people had been killed that day those MAGAT idiots would get even angrier and more committed to putting Trump back in charge.
