US 2021 Capitol insurrection
Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
The DC police chief has said that there were three other deaths in the Capitol today.
Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
All 3 medical events though. The Maga diet is not a healthy one. There's a lot of steps at the Capitol.

Probably not the usual steps and police kind of medical incident though.

Serious credit to the photographers who, knowing how these neonazis hate those in the media and knowing the threat they were facing, continued to document the travesty, who continued to make it clear to the world what was happening with images like this - this was taken by an AP photographer, though I don't know more than that about who took it.

Calm yourself Doctor NotTheNineO’ClockNews. We’re men of science. We fear no worldly terrors.
Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
It’s quite amazing how people attending a Trump rally, that Trump addressed and asked to March on the Capitol, and were then praised by Trump, and were interviewed afterwards saying they were proud of what they’d done, are now AntiFa. Still, maybe that association might make others not want to take part in future?Vertigowooyay wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 7:33 amFox News etc already trying to say it was false flag antifa action.EACLucifer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 1:31 amSerious credit to the discipline of antifascists etc for not showing up and not giving the fascist scum what they wanted.

Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
Ann Coulter was interviewed on Good Morning Britain.
I was expecting her to spout the Antifa nonsense but no; she's seen the writing on the wall and has turned on Trump. Admittedly in part for not following through on his far-right policies but still ...

"What a difference a day 12 hours makes..." given she was on twitter questioning if some of the rioters in the Capitol were Antifa...
Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
Natural News is still pushing the Antifa False Flag line. Adams is citing the inadequate policing at the start as proof that it was all staged! Also Pence's decision to abide by the constitution makes him a dirty traitor.FlammableFlower wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 9:02 am"What a difference a day 12 hours makes..." given she was on twitter questioning if some of the rioters in the Capitol were Antifa...

Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
I'm not sure - I've not seen any evidence that the BLM protests generated any kind of spike, and more that a few people yesterday were wearing some kind of masks - albeit for different reasons
My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
Members of Congress and staff got crowded together in small rooms. Some Democrats left these safe areas because Republicans were refusing to wear masks.

It must be quite difficult to keep a straight face whilst making that claim that when Trump was praising them. And I guess there are a fair number with White supremacist tattoos.JQH wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 9:18 amNatural News is still pushing the Antifa False Flag line.

Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
The woman who got shot is being called a patriot and a martyr in the same tweet as a claim that the rioters were Antifa. I can only assume that these people are on crack.

What's the difference between the Capitol and Mordor?

And sTeamTraen, it's quite simple - those who are hurt are patriots who've been oppressed by the deep state. Those who haven't been hurt are Antifa infiltrators. That's the definition.I know this jamiroquoi wannabe muthafucka is kinda funny but his tattoo is the symbol of Wotanism, which is a Nazi/Odin occult that believes Jews control the government, the Holocaust is exaggerated and champions the 14/88 slogan. He’s a real card-carrying Nazi.

Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
A lot of weasel words coming from some senior Repugs.
The BBC had one Repug strategist on last night who, while he did condemn the violence, wanted everyone to appreciate this was very much a "blame on both sides" scenario.
Because yes on the one hand the Republicans have enabled and encouraged far-right lunatics to reject the democratic process and even after the tediously predictable events of yesterday a third of them continue to support a violent coup but on the other hand the Democrats won the election fair and square by a landslide so in many ways they are equally culpable.
I mean just look how the Democrats responded to the election results in 2000 and 2016, it was exactly the same!

Sounds from this they were mean to the revolutionaries. Unsporting.
Reports say one of the people who died accidentally tasered himself and had a heart attack.
It's very much a four lions sort of a revolution.

Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
I get the impression that they sincerely believed that the police and military would join them in kicking out the corrupt congress and installing Trump as rightful president.

Re: US 2021 Capitol insurrection
The USA is fortunate* that the insurrectionists were so pathetic. Imagine what would have happened if they were properly organised and knew what they were doing.

No they should be pandered to and told they have legitimate greviances and that their unhinged delusions should be taken seriously and their Will must be implemented at any cost and under no circumstances should they ever be confronted..
If we do that then nothing but good things happen.
