    below is an example why the january 6th riots cannot be put behind us

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...t-in-trouble/ar-AATJWzj?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531

    here is a woman that plead guilty for her role in the January6th riot

    now she says she regrets pleading guilty

    this woman thinks and believes she did nothing wrong on january6th

    it is sad MILLIONS of other Americans think and believe the same as her

    and because their beliefs

    THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN!!

    Then you shouldn’t use words like “you” if you are not directly addressing a poster. As to not charging anyone with “insurrection” — that is a childish and pathetic cop out.

    If someone is murdered and no one is charged with murder, it is still a murder. Trying to act like everyone is so stupid that they cannot understand a basic definition in a legal dictionary only shows how horrible of a political narrative that you have.

    Some integrity please.

    You've obviously been insulated in a bubble for the last year and a half from current events in the US.:roll:

    (1) Mandates coming from state governors and congresscritters regarding the mitigation of the spread of Covid.:roll:
    (2) People losing their livelihoods due to the pandemic lockdowns.
    (3) People losing their liberties due to the pandemic lockdowns.
    (4) A first time ever in the US pandemic rules election which could never be verified due to the extensive nature of remote balloting, for example.
    (4A) Relying on state election officials to verify a pandemic rules election in which said election could never be verified by a state election official who didn't have control over the acceptance of ballots at the time the ballot was cast.

    That has nothing to do with my post, but no I don't live in a bubble. But, apparently you do live in a right wing media bubble.

    Demanding to be heard causes strife among people who don't agree with the message of protestors. Now, if the protest doesn't include the 50+%, the protest isn't demcratic.

    This is why I started this thread. People don't know the meaning of peaceful protest.

    For example, people were mistaken that the capitol hill riots were peaceful protests (they weren't).

    For example, any blockage of roads and bridges isn't a peaceful protest whether it be to demand 'rights' for minorities or rights for Canadians.

    I want the ability to 'change the channel' on a protest I know has the wrong goals or has gone wrong.

    Being held prisoner to a protest with the wrong goals is the very definition of violent protest.

    Freedom of speech includes the personal freedom to filter speech.

    Democracy means everyone has a voice. Not just 50%, everyone has the right to be heard. That doesn't mean everyone gets what they want, but it does mean the get the chance to tell us.

    Not being forced to listen to or endure a protest which has the wrong goals or has gone wrong.

    Sidenote: An authoritarian would make you listen to their protest or their point of view especially since authoritarians think their point of view was the only or most important point of view...Or am I conflating authoritarianism with narcissism?...I think there's definitely narcissism in authoritarianism

    It's frightening. Largely because it seems likely her change of heart is due to the constant drumbeat from right wing media validating the riot in various ways.

    So, you think the media are FORMING opinion rather than reflecting it?

    it is sad because another insurrection is almost certain to happen ..

    rather than accept the results of an election,

    a certain group will ignore the results

    then like January 6th, they attempt another insurrection

    face it,

    had the insurrectionists of January 6th not been so incompetent and rag tag

    we would be saluting a different president

    Hopefully she has not been sentenced yet

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...t-in-trouble/ar-AATJWzj?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531

    "and could receive credit at sentencing for demonstrating acceptance of responsibility."

    "But in a recording of a recent voice chat she had with supporters of Jan. 6 defendants, obtained by NBC News, Bisignano didn't exactly strike a conciliatory tone. Bisignano confirmed that it is her on the recording."
