Not sure if its been mentioned but they had zip ties so they planned on taking hostages

Tbh it's pretty amusing thinking about them storming in with guns, explosives and zip-ties imagining they would successfully over-turn the government... And then it ended up fizzling out like a damp firework as soon as it got real.

I can only imagine they thought more people would turn up than actually did. More serious people, at least. A lot of them were there for the drama and just did a collective :omgno: and left when they realised that they actually might get in trouble for this. Really quite the portrait of privilege I guess.

the proud boys intended to kidnap Nancy and Pence and hang them, and to be honest, they probably could have done it if they were a bit more organised

Aren't zipties those things you keep cables tidy with, or keep plants growing where you want them? the state of those guys :joker:

they are often used as handcuffs

I guess Blue Lives don’t really matter after all...

Blue lives only matter when they are killing black people.

Blue Lives Matter basically translates to 'we support killing black people'.

:bored:

Not committing acts of terrorism would be a good start.

Trump has stoked so much anger and filled their heads with so many lies, that they believe the election was actually “stolen” and that their actions and fury are justified.

It’s a scary but stupid sight

"It's unquestionable that it was stolen, there's SO MUCH proof."

See... I don't doubt that they believe this. This is highlighting the danger of living in echo chambers both on and offline. They literally cannot understand how people "can't see what they see"because they have been spammed relentlessly with one version of reality... it's quite sad.

It's a cult mindset, basically, a cult of extremists that have been radicalised and now, they've been weaponised.

It kind of blows up any theory that it was just a few people saying '**** the establishment'. These people genuinely think they are losing 'their' country.

I agree Trump has stoked this resentment throughout his entire term and to hold a rally after he has lost, when tensions are at their highest, and still claim he didnt lose shows a clear intent to incite.

It was not Terrorism
The Cops shot one protestor dead.


Terrorism is Killing people with machine guns or a Lorry or a Bomb

The police pulled back
almost as to let them all in.

From which dictionary did you dig this definition up from?

No it isn't just that at all and you know it

I’m starting to think you don’t like trump.

Go look up the definition of terrorism and get back to us Arista

This is just so wrong :/

Yeah, because that really happened.

The Russians did it, I know because my TV told me so. Jussie Smollett was beaten by MAGA, I know this to be true, because the people inside my television told me so.

If only the people inside my TV had known about Jimmy Saville all along. But the people inside the TV who worked and partied with him, only found out he was a monster at the same time as the rest of us.

I love the people inside my television.
