We’re the Only Ones Instigating Enough

Video evidence recently released by House speaker Mike Johnson, combined with many videos taken by participants during the January 6, 2021 demonstrations on Capitol Hill, now suggest strongly that the violence was instigated by the DC police, not the January 6th demonstrators, who until then had been peaceful.

Now just hold the damn phone there a second… whatever happened to take your beating and like it?

Left Unsaid

My guess is that potentially one or more of the three perpetrators either brandished a weapon or holding some type of weapon that may have been used as a weapon and the agent felt in danger of his life and or his partner’s in and around the area. [More]

Then why wouldn’t that be their main talking point from the start?

Also, I’d tell Genius here that feds aren’t exempt from the laws where they are, but he’s a perpetual troll, and we know what makes them tick, so it’s best not to reward him with feedback. It is revealing though, that he defends such lethal force against citizens. What a sad life, to have nothing better to do with it.

What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]

Or as Capt. Bryant said in Blade Runner, “You know the score, pal. If you’re not cop, you’re little people.”

We’re the Only Ones Out of Pocket Enough

A Washington, DC, 13-year-old juvenile was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking of a federal officer … One of the juveniles was “holding his hand in his front waistband pocket, as if he had a handgun,” a statement by police said. [More]

Not to say that the kid didn’t deserve it, but I wonder if the police would have made the same statement if you or I had shot and killed “an unarmed black child” and told that story.

Save Us from Ourselves?

We are clearly in a war zone,” he added. [More]

So logic would dictate the victims need “weapons of war” to repel the aggressors. I mean, it was supposed to be good enough for Ukraine, and we do have a Second Amendment…

Instead, the answer is more government enforcement, including the National Guard? Sure be nice if these people got their stories straight…

Can you imagine how DC and Democrat cities across the land would enjoy the “mostly peaceful” experience if some white guardsman pulled a Michael Brown redux?

Heroes Save Obama from Mad J6 Trump Fanatic!

There were multiple weapons and the materials to make some kind of explosive device akin to a Molotov cocktail, but it had not been assembled, according [sic] law enforcement officials familiar with the details. [More]

What kinds of “weapons”?

Everyone realizes if they have a gas can in the garage, an empty bottle, and a rag that they have bomb-making materials according to this “standard”?

This “story” sure is long on innuendo to smear all election integrity-doubting “insurrectionists” as violent nutjobs and short on substantiation.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think this was just another instance of low-hanging fruit federal kabuki theater for headlines.

Funny…. her political sympathies aren’t implied or explored…

We’re the Only Ones Unmusical Enough

Rasbach said the female police officer insisted that the performance is considered a demonstration, and that demonstrations in the U.S. Capitol are banned. She later said some people were offended, though Rasbach doubted her claim. He said the officer could not have heard from people who claimed to be offended “because her time was consumed with us.” [More]

What’s her name? And what’s the difference?
