Gutenberg is one example, Hitler another one.
It like people already forgot that followers of the president committed an domestic terror attack right after attending his rally.
- busterarm 6y agoAccording to some reporters who were there, people were already in the Capitol Building _during_ the rally and that there was a steady flood of people heading there before the rally finished.
- zapnuk 6y agoThe capitol was clearly barred+fenced off. They FORCED their way in. All of it was televised. Why even try resort to fringe observations by "some reporters".
- tylersmith 6y agoThere is plenty of video of them being let in. They took down the barricades and just started letting people in. This camera person for a news outlet just walked right in with 0 force. https://twitter.com/insidernews/status/1347646782659031043 https://twitter.com/insidernews/status/1347646782659031043
- zapnuk 6y agoBecause at that point they are heavily outnumbered that point they couldn't do much besides securing the MVPs (Senators, personal etc.). Here is the video where the terrorists crushed an officer to death: https://twitter.com/joshscampbell/status/1347749675777011714 https://twitter.com/joshscampbell/status/1347749675777011714 The doors were definitely not open at the beginning, which everyone who watched it live clearly saw. What he did see is a violent mob who forced their way into the building and a police which was outnumbered and not prepared.
- busterarm 6y ago> The capitol was clearly barred+fenced off. They FORCED their way in. Neither of these facts are in dispute by anything that I said. All I was saying was that it did not start after the rally, but during.
- zapnuk 6y agoThen whats the point of you comment if not to sugarcoat the fact that Trump's followers committed an act of terror. Doesn't matter that some may have been there earlier. The vast majority went there after the rally. And of them a significant portion conducted or threatened violent actions against the capitol, police, politicians, and the free press.
- blisterpeanuts 6y agoReally? How many were killed by the terrorists?
- zapnuk 6y agoIt appears that (at least) one person died by the hands of them. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/08/politics/capitol-police-officer-killed/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/08/politics/capitol-police-o... Also, a terror attack doesn't need to kill people.
- pnw_hazor 6y agoThis will lead to more violent unrest -- it will be seen as more "proof" that Big Tech, Big Media, and Big Gov are aligned against them. Crazies on /pol/ and elsewhere use the term acceleration to celebrate actions by either side that move society closer to violence. This move by twitter will be welcomed by them.
- anigbrowl 6y agoTrue, but frankly I'm tired of appeasing these people and listening to their constant threats of extortion. If they decide to step across the threshold then we can stop giving them the benefit of the doubt and deal with it as a straight conflict of interest.
- sthnblllII 6y agoIf trespassing is domestic terrorism, we might as well just tear up the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
