I’m just saying he took an assault charge for assaulting officers. I don’t know what he would expect to happen. It is also true people got screwed in this whole ordeal. And he made himself easily identifiable wearing that outfit. Another poor choice.

Only pussies sit back and watch authoritarian jackboots beat the shite of other patriots.

Wild stuff. Congrats on your freedom and good luck.

This incarceration was nearly as dark a time in our history as FDR's internment of Japanese-Americans and they got reparations.

---

The only "Japanese-Americans" interned were approximately 5,000 men who literally asked to be returned to Japan to fight for the Emperor. They were held in a camp in Nevada and deported to Japan after the war.

The rest of the Japanese-Americans were initially sent to relocation camps. They were free to go anywhere in the USA except for the "Exclusion Zone", which was the west coast states, Nevada, and Hawaii. By the end of the war the vast majority had already left the relocation camps.

Congress decided to compensate them primarily for their loss of property iirc, NOT as reparations. I believe the word reparations does not appear in the law passed but the word restitution does, it is the Civil Liberties Act of 1987.

This law was passed before the declassification of the code breaking work done by the Allies in WWII. Intercepted and decoded diplomatic messages showed that there was in fact spying going on in our mainland by the fact that troop and ship movements were reported back to Japan. Who was spying and to what extent any spy rings were operating was not known.

Also, not widely known is the fact that a Japanese Zero pilot crash landed on a small Hawaiian island on Dec 7, 1941 who was initially hidden from a search party by a Japanese-American family who then gave him a shotgun that he eventually shoots American citizens with and kills one of them.

Japan had already invaded American territory(ies) and a real fear of a Japanese invasion of the west coast was palpable, at least until the Battle of Midway which all but neutralized the Japanese Navy, at least the naval air power part of it. The success in this battle was also due in large part to decoded Japanese military messages.

Contrast our treatment with what Canada did. Canada truly interned all Japanese-Canadians and did not release them until 1947.

My best friend's family were sent to these "relocation camps". My senior thesis was written on this subject. They were all living in California and were unceremoniously removed. It was like a prison. They never got their property back. The money they got years later was a pittance to losing their lives.

I’ve been ducking in and out of this thread to try to pick up on what “AMA” means.

He came prepared for violence, not for protest. Thats unquesitonable.

He and his cohorts were responsible for the lasting damage that the Democrats took hold of and ran with.

I'm not commenting on his military stuff, who knows what happened there and I may not could blame him. But yes, he deserves blame for J-6, as he was one of the people who led to the insurrection narrative. .

Never noticed the dude beside him in this gif doing the Elon "Hitler salute."

It certainly appears that Ed was prepared to crack a few skulls if need be. And after watching #antiFa goons be allowed to terrorize the entire nation — and particularly Washington D.C. — over the previous long hot summer of 2020, that seems a perfectly reasonable expectation of anyone who went to Washington D.C. to “protest” the stolen Presidential election.

With that said, I think the rioters walked into a well-laid trap and were utter fools for doing so. Based on Ed’s subsequent comments on this board in the weeks after January 6th, it appears he has reached a similar conclusion.

Kudos to him for learning that lesson. Yet no matter his complicity in what occurred that day, nothing erases the fact that the January 6th rioters were ensnared in an orchestrated entrapment exercise by the FBI.

Trump’s pardon of the January 6th rioters was a partial righting of that grievous wrong. And this indeed brings us to the main lesson of this entire saga that seems to have gotten lost in discussing the particulars of Ed’s situation: the FBI is — and has always been — a fundamentally criminal entity operating under the color of the law with near impunity.
