You cannot convict people based upon intentions without action and proof. Many people have been very upset and have said they are going to kill someone and threaten them and then point a gun at them and not been convicted of murder or even attempted murder because people realize that they weren't going to kill them but were just angry and being stupid. A lot of people on the left have threatened people publicly on camera and it was considered free speech because they didn't do it. There were people saying Trump should be hanged that and were reported saying it one even made prop of a hanging and it was ruled as free speech.
To hang someone takes more than just thinking as a mob. It is one thing to hurt someone but many people want nothing to do with murder and that someone has to rile them up to that effort... encite them to that end. That has to be proven and so far the only "suggestion" you have is a prop of some gallows and people chanting.
Who’s talking about convicting anyone? I’m just stating my take on the subject. I never claimed to have proof.
True, though those people are still guilty of a crime. Pointing a gun at someone is usually taken as a threat, and whether you were actually going to do it or not won’t save you from jail time.
And you can talk about those people somewhere else. That’s not the subject here.
No, it doesn’t.
Not even close to true. Mobs of people have been known to kill people before. I’d suggest you look up the term ‘herd mentatility’.
That is not what I am doing at all. Nearly 20% who responded to the poll deny the magnitude and significance of what happened at the capitol on 1/6.
My apology. I applaud you for not going the way of many others.
You been talking as if everyone is guilty, if you don't have proof why insist things as if they are facts?
Nonsense it is not illegal to point a gun at someone happens often. No court of law is going to consider it a crime without extenuating circumstances to support it. One has to have a valid threat involved to even start considering it illegal. Protection orders are typically given for people who are "threatened" by someone with a gun and they typically are not arrested the first time it happens by default.

Exactly right... let the idiots get their just rewards in time..... people need to stop rushing things and tossing people who were just hanging out at the capital as if it were a social gathering and did little to nothing wrong but some here want to be totally unreasonable and insist that ALL there were idiots and etc.
I was merely trying to see how many here agree that it happened. And by "it" I mean Trump supporters violently take over the capitol on January 6th. How did you vote, Sophrosyne?
Looks like nothing to me could be pictures from the entrance hall of a building I don't see any guns and people wielding them to cement a takeover how do you expect to take over something when you don't have any way to fend off the Capital police.
The problem is you are asking a loaded question and none of us are really buying the way you are wording it so if we answer the question as asked then we are agreeing that what you say was what happened and I don't see it as a violent takeover at all but rather a bunch of people who started an "almost peaceful protest". I could quote a lot of what the left calls "violence" as it pertained to BLM protests but I think the irony will be lost on you.
That's the Senate chamber they are in. They pushed in due to their being a lack of heavily armed police. In one case they did push too hard at the house chambers and a cop shot them, but due this is probably also due to heavily armed reinforcements being not too far behind, which you can see them arrive just afterwards.
