1/6 Protest Organizers Say They Participated in ‘Dozens’ of Planning Meetings With Members of Con

I agree, I was trying to simplify the point. Sometimes points are lost due to people getting confused by the complexity of the issue.
Obviously behavior such as setting up the protest intentionally to do unlawful actions is included, including any form of actions meant to subvert the laws and constitution of the US.
And yes, this would apply to ANY politician who uses their position of power and influence to make this happen. I believe that politicians and leaders of any type have responsibilities they should adhere to.

 

if they participated, and incited, yes

I don't support that nonsense, why would you?

you can't incite violence, then say... it wasn't me

 

There is nothing legal about storming the capital building, and stealing items, let alone making threats to govt representatives.

I doubt you considered the BLM protests and the riots that stemmed from them legal.

 

You don't get away that easy. They are now guilty of 'inciting' riots like the legal protest rally at the Ellipse is being accused of.

 

and any that did not incite violence are fine

usually our leaders stay out of it, cause they don't want to get their hand dirty and have the legal risk

 

Oh, so you are saying Gore went around for months telling 75 million people repubs stole the election, and that they got to fight like hell on jan 6 to 'stop the steel' ?

LOL.

 

Not many people defended what you described. If someone intentionally set those up for death and destruction, then, yes, they would be responsible.
What you're doing is cherry picking points to make your argument. Most of the protests you are referring to were peaceful, at least until the "bad" jumped in.
Why do you keep taking someone's statement and turning it around with an assumption of your own? Do you not have any good points on your own without twisting someone else's words around?

 

Duh. The Rolling Stone story is about the legal protest rally at the Ellipse. You would know this if you actually read the article. They conflate it with a crime but no crime is committed by organizing a rally. Sloppy reporting for the gullible.

 

if they incited violence, yes - party doesn't matter to me - this nonsense needs to stop

 

Vacuous claim = incompetent rebuttal.

 

Democrats do that all the time. Hillary comes to mind.

 

Which has nothing to do with the Trump politicians planning this incident.

 

Unless it is determined that delaying the vote count in Congress was planned, which, if so, adds up to seditious conspiracy.

 

So you think organizing a legal protest at the Ellipse is not equal to the "bad" jumping in and storming the Capitol? Well, that's a start.

 

Got to have your conspiracy theory to feel all warm and fuzzy but organizing a rally at the Ellipse is entirely legal.

 

So far we have 3 threads with the same content.. And they say the left doesn't move in lockstep lmao

Here is the one started yesterday you know CURRENT EVENT

Only one blaring difference "Arrests" seems the leftist burning, looting and destruction of private and public property was overlooked.

Weird huh

 

Again, you are attempting to turn my statement into something else. Here's a clue, whenever you type "you think ................", it's probably best to stop, and say "I think ....................." and ask if the other person agrees.
And, for the record, I don't think that organizing a rally for peaceful purposes is equal to the "bad" jumping in. A peaceful protest should be not only allowed in this country, but encouraged.
Problem is, what if the peaceful purpose gets hijacked by "bad" people. It happened all over the country last year, and should be rooted out. And many were caught and prosecuted. Shame on any politician who provided cover for those.
Other problem, the whole purpose of the rally was to "stop the steal", in other words, change the course of the democratic process of installing a new duly elected president. That is and should be an issue, particularly if members of the government were involved, or anyone else for that matter.

 

You are still equating organization of a legal peaceful protest with criminal activity so I can only assume you are not being honest in your claim that peaceful protests should be allowed. Al Gore tried to change the course of the democratic process but that was fine.

BTW, the 'members of Congress' are denying the Rolling Stone story and want to know the names of the 'anonymous sources' so they can sue for defamation.

This is more about vindictive democrats that need this to stay in the news than it is about finding out anything of value. There are much greater problems happening now that democrats would love to distract from.

 

The Young Turks, oh no bias there, no none at all

 

It would be weird if it were true. There were hundred if not thousands arrested following those times. You are just ignoring it to try and make points.
First off, the topic here is the Jan 6th events, leading up to it and after. The other incidents you and others keep bringing up have nothing to do with it, except you wish to use that in your arguments because you have no other valid points to make.
In my area, people were being arrested for months following the protests and ensuing looting and destruction. I don't know how to look up an exact number, but just here in my area it was in the hundreds from one day.

 

Arrests with democrats bailing them out with funds. There is that.

 

And how many were simply released by the Mayor What you think uninformed is a Republican thing bro

 

Is this the same Rolling Stone that has printed so many inaccurate stories over the years? I've lost track of them, but the "story" about the "horse de-wormer" and "gunshot wound" victims not being able to get medical care at certain Oklahoma hospitals comes to mind...

 

Ya I giggled He thinks we are Leftist!!!!
