Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
I feel there is a distinction to be made between examining the horrendous assault we all saw on the US Capitol, which absolutely deserves a thread, and the occasional pleasure we can take from watching the consequences play out. I could watch MAGA tears all day.

I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works

Looks like an onion to me. There's an urban myth that it helps with things like mace and tear gas by making your eyes water.Stranger Mouse wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 4:37 pmIs that an onion or a sponge in the towel?jimbob wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 11:25 pmIt's even better than Elizabeth, who also belongs here:

Re: Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
I don’t get why someone who wasn’t expecting to get tear gassed would have an onion handy. Or maybe someone else had a big bag handy and was handing them out?Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 6:53 pmLooks like an onion to me.

Re: Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Re: Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
Apparently Palestinians used onions to defend themselves against tear gas. It was meant to be lemons in '68 when the French students were protesting.Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 6:53 pmLooks like an onion to me.

Re: Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
BLM were distributing guidance for how best to deal with tear gas (move away, seek ventilation and wash with cold water only), dispelling many of these common myths including lemons, onions and milk.
That's what happens in organised movements that care about the well-being of their participants.
If the Trump cult get organised they'll be pretty terrifying.

Re: Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
Mark Thomas has a bit about that in his rambling the security fence book. Think he might even have said the onion worked, but don't remember now.jdc wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 10:19 pmApparently Palestinians used onions to defend themselves against tear gas.

The trouble is, if you get arrested you turn into an armed protestor cos you need a knife to cut it, but you can use the chopping board as a shield.

I mean the idea is to make your eyes water, so you might as well just bite into like an apple. (Crinkle off the outer papery skin first)

Re: Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
There has been a bit of political violence in the US for the last few years, a lot of it including both sides spraying mace at each other. Might not have been the police she (or whoever gave it to her*) brought the onion for.jdc wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 10:18 pmIf she wasn't expecting to get gassed by security, perhaps she was just prepared in case she was downwind when her fellow Republicunts were gassing the police?Grumble wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 9:00 pmI don’t get why someone who wasn’t expecting to get tear gassed would have an onion handy.

Enough of being fair, getting upset that you got maced for trying to do a revolution is very funny.

Re: Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
Another of the domestic terrorists was arrested:
At 23 he's still very young and stupid, and thanks to the Republican policies he loves so much his entire life is likely now f.cked.
Interestingly,23-year-old William Watson of Auburn is believed to be the bearded man in the tan sweatshirt in an image released by Metropolitan Police Department. Watson is wanted in a joint effort by the U.S. Secret Service and FBI as investigators continue locating and arresting individuals in a mob of President Donald Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol as lawmakers worked to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Ballsy move, being a weed trafficker who not only wants to block the certification of an election that was about to make weed federally legal but also breaking a $100k bond to participate in a coup attempt!News 3 confirmed Watson was arrested by Auburn back on July 2 on drug charges, including Trafficking in Marijuana and LSD and Drug Possession, and released on a $103,000 bond. Watson’s bond was revoked Monday morning after a Lee County Judge approved the Lee County District Attorney’s Office Motion.

Re: Capitol Insurrection Schadenfreude
Quality quotation from the long-haired lectern-stealing terrorist''s lawyer:
Also:
https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/crime ... 5dbb78f009
I actually quite surprised he's accepted legal counsel at all - I assumed he'd be taking the stand himself.A second lawyer of Johnson's, Dan Eckhart, acknowledged the photograph of their client may present a problem defending in court.
"I don't know how else to explain that, but yeah, that would be a problem. I'm not a magician, and neither is Mr. Bigney. So yeah, we have a photograph of our client, who appears to be in a federal building or inside the Capitol with government property," Eckhart said.
Also:
Another weed head making poor life decisions. Reefer madness!Johnson is a stay-at-home dad who lives with his wife and five boys. His prior criminal history includes possession of marijuana and violation of probation charges.

So if the USA has now decided that sedition is bad, does this mean we'll regain a colony?

It first was a rumour dismissed as a lie, but then came the evidence none could deny:
a double page spread in the Sunday Express — the Russians are running the DHSS!
