It's not as ambiguous as a case where, say, someone was claiming he couldn't breathe before he was knelt on, the cop literally died as a result of the riot, even if it isn'tentirely clear how it happened. Last edited by Oliver_W; 15-02-2021 at 09:55 AM. |

Yes and also the importance of media accuracy, as certain individuals will latch onto incorrect details or inconsistencies and use those to further their wild conspiracy theories. Sometimes very real confirmation bias, sometimes just disingenuously.

I know you mean this to cast ambiguity/doubt on the guilt of those involved but it actually does the opposite; if someone is complaining that they can't breathe properly or feel unwell and someone then STILL chooses to kneel on them, knowing that they are not at full strength/health and thus even more likely to come to harm, it actually increases their culpability.

...it’s ok actually, I found another article ...and it is a bit confusing because it says that there wasn’t any sign of a head trauma and yet one of the causes of death being said to be concussion...how could that be being said with no sign of a head trauma...he did collapse and lose his life ...(...is reported to have by the police..)...because of injuries directly caused in the attack and collapsing the next day would seem to suggest a head injury and concussion...and the article that I’ve just read, is saying that the NY times hasn’t pursued their story/hasn’t updated it...when surely it would be ongoing and high profile with its updates if proving great truth in it..

Antifa aren't the only bunch of violent thugs out there
One could argue that if the rioters genuinely believe they're fighting against a corrupt and supressive government then they might technically be classed as being against facism But there's no real reason to think they're part of Antifa itself. Last edited by Oliver_W; 15-02-2021 at 10:39 AM. |

Whatever happened to the woman who was apparently shot dead in the Capitol building?
This should have been a massive story all over the news. Reports on her family, reports on her funeral. TV investigations, commentators talking about it. Yet Crickets Why? |

Here is one I have seen:
an obscure 1871 act made the United States a corporation and not a federal government, thus rendering any laws passed after that year moot and U.S. citizens not subject to them. According to this theory, the United States will revert back to its original form on March 4th, the date when presidents were inaugurated prior to the 1933 passage of the 20th amendment. They believe Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the United States. (The 18th president, Ulysses S. Grant, served between 1869 and 1877, or the time period when those who cling to this theory believe the United States “became” a “corporation.”) |

It's sobering to see radicalisation and how easily to can completely warp a person's sense of reason and reality in action.
It's honestly scary how easily people can be made to ignore facts, to truly believe that Trump was robbed, that it wasn't Trumpers who rioted, that basically anything they don't like just didn't happen. It's like people who believe Q are going backwards, like their minds are rescinding to that of a toddler. |

It's not restricted to just Trump/Q stuff of course, there's a similar pattern in most divisive topics these days... a real determination to pick a path and then stick to that path no matter what. |
