      a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd.

      You were saying? You’re entitled to your opinion, as I am.
      We seem to be at a impasse as far as opinions go. It happens. I don’t think there’s much else to say, other than I find the rhetoric used by a certain portion of a certain political party to be dangerous. And, that’s pretty disappointing, because I’m accustomed to this coming from the right, and not the left.

    Big news in J6 Cases today -- Judge Jackson sentences Karl Dresch to time served. Had been charged with a felony and detained pending trial. Gov't dismissed felony today and allow petty misdemeanor guilty plea. Max sentence is 6 months. Has been detained more than 6 months.

    It was a riot. And a pretty lackluster one at that. The riot at my college after the girls soccer team lost state was worse. Just this one happened near our illustrious ruling elite, so panick!!

    This is a silly question. It was a riot AND an insurrection, thai is quite possible.

    Jan 6? That was a peaceful protest that’s all, nothing more.

    Storming the capitol of government to stop the certification of an election of POTUS, it's a failed insurrection.

    So you really believe they thought they would just sit at the head of the House and the Senate and be the rulers from now on? Just like that?

    FBI has not found evidence it was an insurrection nor charged anyone with insurrection or conspiracy or sedition.

    Mostly it was a protest. For all the fake news claims of "insurrection" has anyone actually been charged with that, much less, hundreds?

    CLAIMS ABOUT AN INSURRECTION CONTINUE TO EVAPORATE:

    “But statements from the informant appear to counter the government’s assertion that the Proud Boys organized for an offensive assault on the Capitol intended to stop the peaceful transition from Mr. Trump to Mr. Biden.”

    “On the eve of the attack, the records show, the informant said that the group had no plans to engage in violence the next day except to defend itself from potential assaults from leftist activists…. Then, during an interview in April, the informant again told his handlers that Proud Boys leaders gave explicit orders to maintain a defensive posture on Jan. 6. At another point in the interview, he said that he never heard any discussion that day about stopping the Electoral College process…. According to the records, the informant first began to tell the F.B.I. what he knew about Jan. 6 in late December after a pro-Trump rally in Washington that month turned violent…. [T]he records contain no indication that the informant was aware of a possible plot by Proud Boys leaders to purposefully instigate those normal Trump supporters — or what members of the group refer to as ‘normies’— on Jan. 6.”

    “My hypothesis has been that if there had been a plan, the FBI would have known about it and it would have been defended against. If the government has evidence of a plan now, my question is why didn’t they know in advance and defend the Capitol properly? The simplest answer is that there was no plan.”

    “The narrative being fed to us is that the FIB had an insider of a far-right group feeding information to the FIB but given the repeated lies fed to us by the FIB and federal officials it seems more likely the FIB had people undercover inciting a protest group to riot.”

    The FIB are such dirtbags. When DeSantis is elected he needs to completely clean house on the FIB.

    Trying to break into the Capital by force to stop the Vice President from certifying an election is more than just having an opinion

    UNEXPECTEDLY: The Dirtbag FBI's Narrative About the Jan. 6th Capitol ‘Insurrection’ Is Imploding.

    The Dirt Bag FBI incited a riot.
    "TheTimes reveal that there was no conspiracy on the part of the Proud Boys to storm the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, as alleged by the" Lying Dirtbags at the "Department of 'Justice'".

    Dirtbag "FBI Director Chris Wray lied to Congress about the" Dirtbag "FBI’s lack of foreknowledge of the melee."
