  • 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.

Why did McCarthy Give Tucker Carlson Exclusive Access to J6 Footage?

Which official proceeding were the Colbert people trying to halt?
If Tucker Carlson’s crew were caught trespassing in the Capitol do you think they would be given the same courtesy?

I think that the entire footage should be posted to the public, with any security issues taken out.
I agree.
[speculations about Tucker and conspiracy removed]

And...

Let's see what Ray Epps was doing
Ray Epps was busy pushing a large "Trump" banner into a line of cops with a dozen or more other rioters.

Ray Epps pushes sign into cops on video

(Fortunately the video is silent, so we don't have any "CF verboten" terms spoken as happened oh so often from the crowd.)

Looks like Mr. Epps has earned himself (along with about a dozen other not yet so charged) a 18 USC 111 charge.

Well, no wonder he pled guilty. If they denied exculpatory evidence, it is obvious what they were looking to do. So, let's wait and see what is fact or not heh?

No wonder what? That there are 1000 defendants? As I said before all of that footage should have been in the "global discovery" available to his attorney. It also isn't exculpatory. It does not absolve him of his obstruction.

Since you didn’t post all of the post you are referencing I’m really not sure which post you’re talking about but the coroner ruled that Sicknick died from natural causes and the narrative has changed from him being struck by a fire extinguisher to him being sprayed with bear spray which somehow contributed to him having a blood clot that caused a stroke. Try to keep up

The "narrative" about the "fire extinguisher" stopped because they publicly denied that he was hit by said object.

One week after the attack an arrest warrant was issued for the fire extinguisher thrower. In it the officer hit by the object is identified as "William Young" who was hit on his riot helmet. (Sicknick was part of a bicycle patrol and wearing a bicycle helment during the riot.)

Not if what you say is not true. You think him and his attorney didn't know the situation was a kangaroo court? Of course they did. But neither my opinion nor yours rules the day here anyway. Let's just be mutually concerned for fair trials. Let it all come out. And let come what comes. Hopefully riots will no longer be called protests, and people who become violent be charged for it and protests, be protests.

They can identify 1,000 people who entered the Capital but can’t identify this guy. 2 years later, Jan. 6 pipe bomber remains a mystery

Your complaint is vastly out of date and irrelevant.

"Kangaroo court" is quite the accusation. It was overseen by this Judge. Is he suspect (after all he presided over this "kangeroo court")?

What "comes out"? It was all in open court. Here is the docket for Chansley's case with dozens of court filings:

United States v. CHANSLEY, 1:21-cr-00003 - CourtListener.com

At this point all you are doing is making vague accusations about unjust trial. It is clear that you have no real familiarity with this case.

Yeah it’s always out of fashion to point out the misinformation the left leaning media feeds us

If the attorney was not given evidence that is enough for a kangaroo court. I don't care what you think about WHAT I KNOW OR DON'T KNOW.

I strongly suspect that most of the 1,000 people arrested didn't have their faces obstructed and thus were easy to identify.
This is supposed to be the world’s best law enforcement agency, they have video, they have the devices, probably have DNA and one of the devices was in the vicinity of the Vice President

It remains to be seen if he will be charged with anything

No one disagrees.
No one has.
Yes, initial reports were muddled and later as @hans posted, it was clear a day later that Sicknick was not hit with a fire extinguisher, but died of natural causes as a result of his “activities” of the previous day, he died in the line-of-duty.

The Senate of the United States of America was unable to conduct its business because Mr Chansley decided he was going to stop proceedings because he was mad his guy didn’t win re-election and there’s copious video of this fact; this “evidence” doesn’t help the defense.
Of course he pled-out!
What’s the next thing?
Oh yeah, “Chansley’s a victim here! He should sue!”

He’s counting the days down to July 9, 2023, he’ll probably want to start a new chapter of his life unless he’s convinced to do a speaking tour of his harrowing experiences dealing with the crafty Capitol Police, and a bit more manly than Kyle, the current favorite.

He could be a victim if they were denied the evidence. It is not a small thing
