Kind of baffling if they're not at least allowing internal transfers at Gallery Place, even if they're not letting people in or out there.

Air_Delivery Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I honestly think it is even more important than COVID for Biden to fight aggressively against this tide of American flavor of fascism that has been allowed to flourish under Trump. The DOJ and FBI needs to devote massive resources to this. The first order of business should be to audit every single person with security clearance, specifically their online activity. They also need to set up a division specifically to root out white supremacism in state and local law enforcement. There needs to be thousands of people devoted to monitoring online activity where this shit festers and spreads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I have to imagine that some in crowd that weren’t armed and didn’t have zip cuffs, were there for more peaceful protesting and putting pressure on elected officials to “do the right thing”. They didn’t chant to hurt or kill anyone. I do think any people in the crowd that fit that should have not followed the crowd into the capital building when the armed and angry group started rushing in. But those that did stay with the pack, I wonder how they would have reacted had the armed among them had been able to reach elected officials and their staff and began beating or executing them in a big public show of “taking their government back”. Would they step in to stop the systematic executions, spoke up against it, or even chose that time to leave after somebody like Pelosi or AOC was shot in head, decapitated, or hung.

The hardcore terrorists and the "Disneyland Insurrectionists" eg the people who were planning to go to an indian gaming casino while they were on vacation.

Mob behaviour is a powerful thing. We already have examples of exactly the opposite with the “Thank you, but fuck you” police officer’s story. There absolutely were people in their with murderous intentions, but the vast majority of the people never even attempted to go inside the Capitol. They had dumb intentions, but not criminal intentions. You can even see a bit of this from some of the people who made it inside and then seem confused by what to do next and eventually begin leaving when people get shot. I don’t think most would have gone along with actual assassinations, but you don’t need that many people to over power a bunch of gray hairs and their young staffers. But it’s actually this piece of the puzzle that made it all the more dangerous because the murder troop was blended in with the tourists. It could have been unimaginably bad. Leaves me with such a gross feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be eternally helpful if some of the GOP was on board with this.. a united front to expel the really toxic members, but again, would they be willing to do so even as it tarnishes the GOP..... We now know, the truth and evidence mean nothing to the base of the accused.. the propaganda machine will go into overdrive (if it hasnt already). Not sure if the “normal” Gop sees this as an “enemy of my enemy” scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been in several situations like parties or gatherings where my friends and I instantly noped the fuck out when shit went pear shaped. The fists start flying and we start backing away. It’s not that fucking hard. There are clear and obvious moments when things have gone too far for reasonable people, and that’s several fences and barricades away from breaking glass at the capitol. Anyone who was in, or on the building can fuck right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
