  • 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.

I was expecting to see some truly awful stuff given they had the opportunity to cherry pick the worst clips they could find. Unhinged is a bit of a dramatic take on that video.
Wishing for the death of a sitting president , calling murdered Charlie Kirk a piece of garbage, qualifies as unhinged in my book . Sorry you feel it is normal behavior. The red head girl was absolutely unhinged screaming like a wild animal. Unhinged is accurate.

Since this is repeatedly brought up, this is a legal anlysis of the boats by this Yale law professor- smart guy. This is not a partisan take, just a legal one.

Normal actions to come across at a protest. I was expecting to see clips of violence and rioting but instead it was some angry opinions.

I wasn't meaning armed at the Capitol building but they did have guns at the hotel and vehicle is what is alleged.
When dealing with legal matters, specificity is of the utmost importance. So first of all, no vehicle was involved in the case against the Oath Keepers. I suspect you're thinking of another charged individual, 72 year old Lonnie Coffman who was not involved with Oath Keepers, and who never set foot on capitol grounds.

I could be wrong, but I personally do not believe the Oath Keepers had guns at the hotel, for reasons I stated previously in this thread. I'm scientific, and there is no scientific evidence they had guns. If they had had guns, we would have been bombarded with images of the guns, yet none exist. The evidence the feds had was hotel surveillance footage of a couple of members holding luggage, and the feds claimed the luggage contained guns. This was the evidence the feds told them they planned to use against them at trial. :| But they would face trial in a city where the jury would be drawn from a population of their "peers", of whom over 92% already hated them before any prosecutor made any opening statement. So they knew they had a less than 8% chance of prevailing at trial. Are you a gambler? Would you have risked your life on those odds, or would you take a plea and say "yeah, we had guns"?

Think this through. According to ChatGPT, there were over 3,000 armed law enforcement officers in, on and around the Capitol grounds that day. This includes Capitol police, D.C. city police, Secret Service and several other agencies. Do you honestly think that 16 middle-aged and elderly men and women thought they could run up on them and overthrow the government of the United States of America?

It doesn't matter if they did have guns. What is the most well-defended air space and land space on planet Earth? It's the space over and around Washington, D.C. The Oath Keepers could have had tanks, fighter/bomber jets, an aircraft carrier. It wouldn't matter. They'd have been annihilated before they got a mile from their hotel room in Virginia. The Keepers would have had to have the combined IQ of a doorknob.

P.S. The member here you seem to be defending just had his own thread in this forum closed, because he posted fake news and got called on it by numerous other members, just as he has posted falsely in this thread. That's why I will be again ignoring his posts.

ETA: I want to mention @rjs330 in this post, since he is agreeing with you.

Did anyone really think it was a planned armed overthrow of the government? If someone told you that, tell him from me that he's an idiot.

You do realise that Trump and the Republicans were in power at the time? Who were they going to overthrow? His plan was to overturn the election. And there is a galactic amount of evidence that he tried to do that and it was also the plan of some of the morons who stormed the Capital.

If Pence had been a rusted on MAGA supporter instead of an honourable man holding to his promise to uphold the constitution then you'd have seen blood on the streets.

I wasn't defending any member... I'm not sure where that came from. I was only talking to you not defending anyone.

And sorry I didn't really know their cases in particular. Thanks for correcting the record.

Huh? Why did you mention me? What have I got to do with your reply?
Because you gave the other poster at least two Winner ratings for her replies, which means you must agree with her, and I wanted you to read my post and get the other side of the story.

You can tell him yourself. The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia was Matthew M. Graves, 555 4th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20530. Phone number: (202) 252-7566. Email USADC.Media@usdoj.gov

From bloody noses that got punched? I'll try and verify that in the Physical and Life Sciences forum.

Tell the person who told you that that he's an idiot. They told you that Trump was trying to overthrow Trump.

Why would anyone believe such an idiotic statement? Explain it to me.

I gave you his contact info. I'm not your messenger. You can tell him.

Listen, I wrote an entire book trying to explain a common two-syllable English word for you, and you still didn't get it. It would require a set of encyclopedias to explain U.S. presidential election procedures. I presume you have the internet at your fingertips, you can look it up. The ceremony is officially named the Joint Session of Congress for the Counting of the Electoral Votes.
