I saw the video of the woman being shot. She was unarmed. Nor did any of the protesters in the video appear to have firearms. If they intended to use deadly force this is a strange failure to plan, particularly for people that fetishize guns.
As best as I can tell this protest is being dramatically overhyped compared to very similar protests in the Capitol and other government buildings. I guess they didn’t get the memo that the Capitol is not a “free speech zone”, as I remember we complained about during the Bush years. Protests in Canada and the US are only allowed now with the proper permitting, in certain areas, and if they don’t threaten the existing power structure.

- Amezarak 4y agoI am not a Republican, and have voted straight-D for multiple decades, with two single candidate exceptions. This isn’t a partisan thing for me. That is why I was careful to say exactly what I said without making broader claims or citing the DoJ of all organizations (on this thread of all threads!) or some Fox News article.
- sonotathrowaway 4y agoI’m betting you’re lying, given your complete denial of reality. Specifically, it’s really only Republicans that are in denial that Stewart Rhodes and his associates have been convicted of seditious conspiracy. In very simple language, this means that the argument that they engaged in a peaceful protest is complete and utter bullshit to anyone who has the ability to perform simple google searches. Again, this argument has already been definitively refuted in federal court.
