>If the election really was stolen they seem pretty docile about it.
Has January 6th already slipped from your mind? Aside from that it's strange to suggest we should ignore what people said, consistently, for years.

- operatingthetan 3y agoCalls to hang the vice president of the united states are docile? People trying to hunt down specific members of congress docile? Breaking down doors docile? You're gaslighting hard here. Clearly people believed the false claims about the election and were taking action about it. This isn't docile: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jan-6-rioter-peter-schwartz-sentenced-1234730839/ https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jan-6-ri...

- hinkley 3y agoI don’t know how they saw themselves on Jan 5, but afterward they’ve acted like a bunch of teenagers who threw a tantrum and now want to be indulged for a misunderstanding (leniency). As serious as the charges are, I think we should honor their desires because it belittles the entire pack of idiots. People doing serious jail time for something that was so stupid, it deflated them.

- scarface_74 3y agoSo how do you think the response would have been if a bunch of black folks invaded the capital or an armed group of Black men were in the state capital in Michigan causing them to postpone their session?
- PM_me_your_math 3y agoLike when democrats bombed the senate building?
- scarface_74 3y agoWhen did that happen?
- robertlagrant 3y ago> Has January 6th already slipped from your mind Is there a fairly neutral source on January 6? I can only find partisan ones, and the photos and video I saw seem very benign. Is there a decent writeup that draws it all together?
- adl 3y agoPeople died. It was not "very benign".
- robertlagrant 3y agoI thought that was a person who was climbing in through a window and was shot by police? Were there others?
- krapp 3y agoAssuming you don't intend to dismiss any source that doesn't paint an entirely benign image as being partisan, there is the Wikipedia page[0]. Of course, it's easy to find plenty of non-benign images and video from the event, it's odd that you've apparently never encountered them.

- scarface_74 3y agoWhat’s “benign” about trespassing in a government building causing lawmakers and the VP to go into hiding?
- robertlagrant 3y agoI think with almost any other protest group, trespassing would not be being thought of this severely.
- bobsmooth 3y agoWhat about that unscheduled building tour is so important?
