One of them wrote a book about how they planned it. Still not arrested.
It consumes their thoughts
Many on the left believe Ashli Babbitt was some kind of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad. But she was the only true victim of it all, and she was a pregnant air force veteran, needlessly slain by an incompetent law enforcement officer.
Trump plans to hold a news conference at the Southern White House on that anniversary, even though some advise agaisnt it. With any hope, he will denounce what his rabid base did on that day, but the most likely scenario is that he's going to be an idiot and further incriminate himself, or worse, while blaming everyone but himself - all for attention and to stay relevant.

God knows if had been BLM protestors or anyone left of center who had done that half of them would be in chains and the ringleaders prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Funny you say that, a lot of those who entered the Capitol are still in solitary confinement.
For the unspeakable crime of entering a public space during a public event. With the doors opened by police officers.

Yup. They were all tourists looking at the statues that day, while over a hundred police were injured, windows busted, capital property stolen, because they were all done by "Not Me".

I have no sympathy whatsoever for those un-American terrorists. It's amazing the level of denial Republicans have for basic reality.

Blows my mind that the jail and warden were held in contempt for violating the Jan 6th victims civil rights and letting them suffer without medical care.
Not because it happened, but because I know that folks are serious when they say they have no sympathy for these people and truly don't care. Despite all the police accountability rhetoric.

It's not like they were desperately trying to keep a bunch of violent people OUT of the capital.
You know, so they can protect the government officials inside.
They were getting the shit kicked out of them just trying to hold the line.
They were barricading sections of the Capitol.
Yet somehow, the police "opened the doors" for them.
See that black blob of plastic in the doorway trying to keep them out?
That's the police.
Who were actively attacked, btw.

The realization that jails in general are brutal dungeons of inhumanity is welcome no matter how you politically arrived at that conclusion.

Aren't you always harping on BLM, and not giving a shit about those protestors being hurt, or abused by the same system?
And rioting at the capital over an election lie will never be the same as fighting for justice reform in a broken system, no matter how much you try to downplay Jan 6th to defend the growing crazies on the right.

sounds like she shouldn't have tried to break through a barricade that secret services said they'd use live ammunition if people tried to break through it
earned herself a darwin award for that one

I was posting on Newgrounds as it unfolded if I remember rightly..
I'd laid a pretty hefty bet down on Biden to win the election, about $5 grand (1/1 odds). So I was eyeballs deep in election coverage, reading polls, analysis, podcasts.. I don't think I slept for about 48 hours after the results started coming in.
That being said, when Jan 6 started, part of my sleep-deprived brain somehow construed that I was watching another niche political event in the election cycle microcosm, this was like the VP debate, and only political junkies like myself would be interested in it.. When I woke up on Jan 7, I was actually surprised to see the extent and breadth of how widely the story had circulated, friends on social media who didn't really follow politics were talking about it.
There's something about the flags on the steps, the curls of smoke rising from the Capitol, the baying mob, that represents everything that the previous 4 years had been about - the division, the anger, the gaslighting, the mislead mob, the calls to violence, the ineptitude, the childishness, the myopia, the callous disregard for what the truth was, the selfishness, the fact people died unnecessarily that day.
I stand by what my thoughts were at the time - this was a watershed moment. This was when future historians would look back on and say "you see that inflection point there? That's were the world's "leading" democracy couldn't even hold elections anymore, one party decided it was happy to rip the system apart if it didn't get what it wants, that's when the baton unofficially passed from the US to China".
Now we're a year on, and the GOP have shown that whatever the source material, there is absolutely nothing that they aren't capable of stabilizing along partisan lines..
I had hoped that Jan 6 would have been so bad, so corrosive to the Trump brand, that the Republicans would have self-reflected, and held themselves accountable for how little they held Trump accountable. There was a similar post-mortem after the Romney presidential election loss. There was a brief moment during the attack where there seemed to be some honesty from figures within that party, didn't last long though.

One, it's "ad hominem", and two, that's not what @JosephStarr did. Ad hominem would be saying "your argument is wrong because you're an idiot", but what Joey meant was "your argument is wrong, therefore you're an idiot", which is actually sound reasoning.

That's like me saying democrats are a bunch of criminals because of antifa and blm riots destroying businesses and setting neighborhoods on fire.
Enough with this bullshit narrative you're spewing. They even tried to indict Trump over it, but nothing in his speech instigated violence. Even Alex freakin Jones was trying to get people away from the capital.

The only video I have seen of Alex Jones was the day before the riot, Jan. 5th, was this, where he said:
"I don’t know how this is all going to end, but if they want to fight, they better believe they’ve got one!"
and
"We’re here to take our rightful country back peacefully, because we’re not globalist, antifa criminals. So let’s start marching, and I salute you all"
Do you have the video of him trying to get people away from the capital, that would be interesting to see.

Most were charged with a glorified form of disorderly conduct, pretty much the lowest level of charge that can be held against you.
But reality has long since left this conversation.
Has any group of protesters in the past decade been more thoroughly identified, publicly named, and prosecuted wholesale? Serious question.
