  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What do you believe about January 6th?

Did Trump supporters violently take over the capitol on January 6th.

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!
There is a man that was saying hang trump even set up an effigy of it. You should look up what happened to him when it was reported.

Assuming it's true, you should tell us.

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

Well, they didn't carry it into the Capitol building, if that's what you mean.

Nope.... if it isn't important to google it for you (you don't even have to go to a website) then I'm really uninterested in continuing this banter with you.

But here's one very important point about this whole thing. Much of the finger pointing by people who want to make this seem like a well-oiled revolution try to prove it by pointing at something that one or several persons did.

THAT does not prove anything, and it's irresponsible, yet we've repeatedly witnessed huge segments of the American public being vilified as if they did something or other on January 6.

Whatever else might be said, it's only a small number of people --and of different political leanings -- who actually were involved, no matter what the commentators are trying to sell.

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

Only if you do it in Istanbul, not Constantinople.

BTW I looked again at the picture of the "gallows", and you can't hang anyone with that design it would fall apart the minute you put 100 lbs on it. It is not supported properly looks like it may be made from 2x4s but if 4x4s the additional weight would make it more unstable on top. In other words it isn't a working gallows but rather a PROP.

Apparently nobody's been setting up gallows.

maybe they were always there? "The Tomb of the Unknown Klansman"?

When I am speaking, I am speaking of those that took part on January 6th.

I ask again, and that makes it okay?

They may have not known that and went with what they had in order to actually hang Pence.

I guess the narrative has changed from it was all BLM and soros paid actors dressed like trump supporters storming the Capitol building to "eh, it's no biggie; people who love trump and q just wanted to poop around lawmakers and beat cops with american flags, so what?"

If Donald's January 6 supporters were burdened with an overabundance of education or competence, they never would've stormed the Capitol in the first place.

After four years, one would think you'd be accustomed to low expectations.

Quite a few of them were highly educated. It was a spiritual delusion.

Of course, but it clearly is also far away from the Capitol building. It is very wrong to try to associate the many people who showed up to hear the President's speech with the other and much smaller group that moved against the Capitol even before the speech was over.

That would imply they were deluded by someone spiritual.

Not buying it.

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 is a matter of defending the right of Congress to peacefully carry out their Constitutional duties. It has nothing to do with "left" or "right".

I don't care what you think BLM or any other group did.

These individuals, and the leaders who supported them...(and those who downplay their actions) will be held accountable.
