What do you believe about January 6th?

It is interesting to see a voice from the Right decree that free speech includes up to and including threatening grievous bodily harm to the Vice President of the US accompanied by the construction of an actual GALLOWS for the purpose.

I'm sure the next time some Left-winger burns and American flag we'll hear the Right say "Yeah, that's legitimate free speech, too!"

Meanwhile "cancel culture" is an abomination!

I don't blindly buy into emotional threats from people for show. I don't care for flag burning but I think Americans have the right to do that. I don't however think we should consider giving citizenship to people who publically burn our flag because if they detest our country why should we allow them to live here permanently. You should look up Trump hanging effigy.

And that is still okay?

it seems OK for the left, but I will let the courts decide as unless someone is sworn in court to tell the truth and all the facts are presented and a jury decides then we only have the rumor mongers out there telling us what to believe.

This isn’t separate political factions. This is America on one side and a group of people who didn’t get their way and tried to overthrow the United States government.

I'm sure there are some people who thrill to read such stuff.

 

[Albion]

So no big deal? Justified?

Having just reread the post you quoted, I can't find any reference to either "big deal" or "justified."

 

[Albion]

They literally were a lynch mob. They had gallows erected and were screaming "Hang Mike Pence" while breaking into the building he was in.

Who is "they?"

of course not. I was referring to some sentiments expressed on this forum.

Terrorist

So it wasn't directly related to the quote you included. Thanks for the clarification.

Terrorist

Meaning that you don't know who did what? I agree, since it's apparent that the term there was being used indiscriminately, and it's certain that some of the people you had in mind were not even on the scene.

Truth interests a lot of people.

Did the gallows spontaneously grow out of the ground?
Did it descend like manna from heaven?
Did the gallows fairy leave it there the night before?

You would have agreed with me if those terrorist would have screamed “Allahu Akbar”. The reason you disagree with me because those terrorist screamed “ God Bless America” . To me they are all same – needs to be eliminated.

Terrorist

The insurrection on the Capitol by Pro-Trump supporters is being referred to as domestic terrorism.

FBI director says Capitol riot was ‘domestic terrorism’

The Capitol insurrectionists and ISIS have a lot in common

What happened at the Capitol ‘was domestic terrorism,’ lawmakers and experts say

Not so.

Who is "they?"

They must be broads.

It's really amusing to see this argued against by anyone who's not a political stooge.

They Might Be Giants.

When I said "not on the scene" I thought that would be a sufficient clue.

I certainly don't remember the left setting up gallows and chanting "hang Mike Pence!"

Actually, no the rumor mongers aren't telling me what to believe, I watched it on the television live as it happened.

I maintain you are being deliberately obtuse!

They Might Be Giants.

You may be right...... brushing giants may be better suited for the left than brushing broads.
