[saxdog 258]

This is bone chilling.

'bone chilling', and also cringeworthy as fk. I wish those dipshit trumpturds would stick to their paintball.

LOL,

Those bunch of idiots couldn't organize a rush to the stage at a concert.

The real issue is the appalling security measures for your Capital building.

Even though everyone knew for weeks ahead of time there would be a large group of Trump crazies there to cause trouble.

There was a small inner circle who were well organized. They were the ones who were smart enough that, when it turned out that Congresspersons & Pence had escaped their grasp, to look for the Electoral College votes and how to find certain offices.

I’m amazed at how calm they were.  I wonder how many will use the “but it’s people’s house as their  defense”.  And the tears that will follow when they are convicted. 
On the other hand compare this to the absolute destruction committed  by the BLM protestors over the summer.  In many cases they destroyed anything they couldn’t steal

Watch and listen to the rhetoric at any protest.  Madonna openly talked about blowing up the White House.  What is said or displayed outside is political free speech and safe from prosecution. Calling it for what it represents and condemning it is also allowed and should be encouraged.

Not getting your point.  Once they entered the capitol building they should and will  be charged.  If they admitted it outside it certainly should be used as evidence.   You seem to be under the impression that the majority of the protestors that day broke the law.

I think the point you were trying to make: Watch and listen to the rhetoric at the storming of, and insurrection at the capital building. What was said shows the true intent of the insurrectionists. What was spoken during the committing of many crimes. What a person says, when planning, committing, and after committing a crime can, and will be held against them. Remember Dragnet?

Whereas "free speech" is what is said while not in the act of insurrection. Not in the act of committing a crime. That's where the Madonna reference is apt.

I have said the same, but that was not my question.

Yep.

Track them down, arrest & detain them, put it on their charge sheet. We'll have plenty of time to sort it all out, and I assume that law enforcement still has it's regular job to do. I understand the Border Security people have some big facilities that are not currently being fully utilized?

Like I said a few days ago - they can create a bunch of prison space by releasing people in for weed offenses.

Charge them all with felony murder so they stay in custody until it's sorted out.

Maybe you shouldn’t edit the posts you are responding to before talking about distorting comments.

I asked you a question because it wasn’t clear if you were talking about everyone at the rally or those that broke through the barricades. You had responded with a two part answer quoting my response that SB seemed to be under the impression that every one at the rally broke the law

Your response that once the barricades were breached they were all breaking the law.   Which by my reading indicates that everyone at the rally was breaking the law, once anyone breached the barricades.  So Before talking about reading comprehension try proof reading your own words.

Yes, acceptance is key. There are like 50 mil. voters, and a lot of non voters out there that need an intervention. I'm no expert, it's obvious to me.

Electroshock not an option...

What joker didn't get is there is a difference between "breaking the law" and "getting arrested". We have all broken the law, while few have been arrested. His question was misleading, and served his argument, rather than enlighten the conversation. 

He is wrong headed, and troubled. What else can be said. 

I don't think he, or his ilk can be written off, out of hand. 

A protocol could be developed to redeem them.

Or, it's going to be tough for all of us...

that's an interesting question.  If he were convicted of the articles of impeachment BEFORE he issued the pardons, absolutely.  But between impeachment and conviction is a gray area, until he's either removed or his term ends, unfortunately he's still the potus and has that sole power to pardon.  I don't know if they can retroactively retract a pardon from a convicted POTUS.  New territory there.....

I'm still fervently hoping he resigns on the 19th so Pence can pardon him, and then once his resignation is official, Pence tears up the pardon papers.  "Pardon??  What pardon??"
