came to Washington D.C. to express their dismay and entered the vaunted Congressional chamber resulting in, at best, minor cosmetic damage while the likes of ANTIFA and BLM are given free rein to loot, pillage and burn parts of communities. Yes sir, we have our priorities so straight than even GPS cannot unravel the mindless and senseless actions of the elected and those who elect them. Brilliant I say, just brilliant!!!!

I simply do not understand this notion in the minds of the Far Right to the effect that anyone who wants to see the January 6 lawbreakers prosecuted would somehow be opposed to prosecution of the summer of love rioters.

Personally, I would like to see both groups of people prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The way these politicians act is exactly what the founders DID NOT want. They act like they are some kind of god. My favorite quote from my favorite president....pay special attention to the last line:

God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion.1 The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order.

Precisely and therein is the fuel for ignition. It is the hypocritical positions taken by the elected and those who elect and continue to support with blinders

We are going to get the least just and most corrupt outcome. One group will be proclaimed as heroes by the ruling class and the other will be prosecuted.

Big difference is the Summer of Love riots were really local incidents to be prosecute under local or state law and the rioting was the worst in the most progressive blue cities and states. So local law enforcements hand's were tied by woke DA's and politicians. Unless the rioters did something like attack a Federal courthouse, they basically got to skate because local woke judges, DA's and Mayors allowed it to happen.

January 6th is a lot different becuase they attacked Federal property and the lawmakers themselves and disrupted the transfer of power...no minor thing. Unfortunately for the January 6th baws, you had a new administration and AG who was politically hostile to them and dropped the hammer.

One wishes to investigate a handful of demonstrators, knock yourself out but don't you dare give a blind eye pass to the looters, arsonists and the likes

One group damaged the US capital in a fit of pique, and the other group damaged private property in a fit of pique. I think each is equally repugnant. Candidly, I find it odd that you do not.

PS. Siri is an idiot. She transcribed “fit of peak”

Admit it if they were the ones that stormed the Capitol you’d be singing a completely different tune.

You just don't get it. I just heard on the radio that one of the capitol hill police testified she was knocked unconscious by someone swinging a bike rack. This is comparative to Pearl Harbor!! C'mon man....

I’m fine if they punish the people who trespassed. But it’s not ok under any form of federal or state law to send someone to federal prison for 2
Yrs for trespassing, especially if the person committed no violence in the trespassing act.

It’s also not ok to hold someone in prison for a year and a half when that person has not been charged, or when they are awaiting trial on a trespassing charge.

It’s especially not ok, when people whipped into a frenzy by fabricated narratives about cops hunting black people burn down a Wendy’s, murder other people, or cause a federal courthouse to go into lockdown for MONTHS - and not a fricking charge. No full scale attempt to monitor cell phone or credit card data. Not a smidgen of an inquiry as to whether these fricking dirtbags were organized by either public officials, or the BLM fundraisers turned into “Act Blue” PACs to re-elect progressives.

Seriously Hank. Do better. You’re usually better at the “both sides” deflection.

you aren’t playing devil’s advocate. You’re rationalizing corrupt, violent behavior that is ruining your country- and deteriorating the rule
Of law.

Understand this.

One was a stupid LARP that occurred in a single day.

The other was months of violence and destruction.

One is getting televised hearings leading up to the midterm elections.

The other is getting... nothing.

Don't be obtuse.

Are you quite sure that these were not organized by the Democrat Party or the Act Blue organization. Cuz I’m not. Where’s the federal commission analyzing this wave of agitators -
That traveled around the country doing this. How Antifa brokedicks could afford to stay at the DC W Hotel right before Trump’s RNC speech to go on to threaten Rand Paul and his wife to their faces and give the bird to little old ladies and otherwise intimidate these people.

You are basically an idiot who is embarrassing himself.

One group had maybe a handful bust windows to get in. The rest were let in by capitol police with indoor electronic locks and most were just memaws wandering around lost. They even stayed outside the rope barricades. A few took advantage and should be prosecuted for theft and the destruction. That’s it. The notion Trump led it is ridiculous. He was still speaking when it started.

The other group committed arson, murder(35 people died), destroyed small businesses and livelihoods(name one politician that lost their sweet gig), blocked traffic, attack bystanders and innocent onlookers, threatened homes, destroyed private property, set fire to courthouse, and when will the Summer of Love trials begin? Why were they praised. You said you want them prosecuted? When do you see that happening?

Now, look in the mirror. That creeping feeling atm… it’s your hypocrisy slapping you in the face.
