Not a single firearm was recovered from the Capitol riot. Only a few people are believed to have been carrying weapons, a few were charged.
In CHAZ / Seattle their self-proclaimed warlord was handing out AK47s from the back of a car. They set up blockades with semi-automatic weapons and intentionally murdered two teenagers, shooting at their vehicle.
But yeah, the great superpower almost got couped by the guy in the buffalo hat, walking around calmly like a moron. The Capitol Police intentionally, very plainly, let the rioters walk into the building (opening the doors and standing aside), and it's all on video, which you can find across Twitter. None of this is allowed to be discussed, all of it is being aggressively censored by the big technocrat autocracy.
I heard the term Blue Anon the other day for the first time. So I go to Google to find out what it is. Google had censored the term and results. That was the first time I got the chill of feeling like I was living in firewall China. You'd think that term led to something illegal, but no, it was trivial, and they still couldn't stand it and had to try to control it.
The theater game going on in DC right now with the national guard? I've got one word for you: staged.
It's a sick joke. The cultural civil war is well underway.
edit: and of course now this link is being censored from HN, naturally

- ekianjo 6y ago> Fourteen people tied to the Jan. 6 attack are facing federal charges related to bringing or using dangerous weapons inside the building and two are facing firearms-related charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. So 14 people may have had weapons out of several hundred thousands, and that's enough for Politifact to pretend it's an armed insurrection? They do have a certain sense of hyperbole. So these 14 people were going to take the Capitol in hostage and hold power with what means exactly? It's not like the US military would be afraid of a few guys with guns...
- adventured 6y agoWhat I said is correct. Only a few people were charged, no firearms were recovered from the riot, and few people were carrying. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/03/04/fact-check-fbi-says-bureau-didnt-recover-guns-capitol-riot/4578286001/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/03/04/fac... "The U.S. Department of Justice has charged at least three people on gun charges stemming from the Jan. 6 riot, including one whom prosecutors said Metro police found carrying a loaded handgun with an extra magazine." Whoa, three people! They nearly took down the great superpower! Close call.
- gotoeleven 6y agoAs we've learned from the super unbiased media, governments work on a "king of the hill" system so if a guy in a wolf hat gets into your government building and does some chants then he's the new king. Thats literally the definition of armed insurrection according to CNN.
- greenwich26 6y agoAccording to your link, 7 people were found carrying guns, and 7 people carrying other weapons - or, "a few". So I assume you are linking it as evidence to support the parent.
- alecb 6y agoIt's pretty bizarre how much overlap there is between HN commenters and people who have been rewired by the Facebook news feed.
- u678u 6y agoTurns out the policeman who died was from a stroke, he wasn't hit with a fire extinguisher. Doesn't fit the narrative either.
