Ok, there may have been that one dude. So 99.9% of the crowd were hardcore, frothing-at-the-mouth Trump supporters hellbent on storming the Capitol, disrupting the counting of the votes inside and overturning the election. But there may have been one dude there with some past history with leftists...who may not have been all-in with the 99.9% extremist Trump supporters.
So yes, I'd be remiss if we didn't hijack this entire conversation to focus on that one guy. You're right, let's highlight and amplify that one, single individual. This story is all about him. Not anything else that happened that day, or the 99.9% of the riled-up crowd, why they were there or what they were doing.
It's all about that one guy. I must have gotten distracted by the unprecedented attack on the Capitol to not hone in on that dude you pointed out earlier. Sorry about that.
y'know, that's interesting.
I said that there is a small faction of idiots who make the BLM marches violent and don't condemn every ************ there. Human nature has proven it takes just one incident to start an out-of-control spiral. It's specifically why businesses board up windows when they're aware that some sort of protest might be coming. Certainly someone of your self-inflated IQ doesn't believe businesses board up windows, doors and glass to prevent the sun from making the stores too hot. I mean, the rays do bounce off the moon, but there's not been a single instance in recorded history that those rays have caused even a slight sunburn or damaged retinas at night.
So who starts the **** at the BLM protests and rallies? Those have by and large turned into **** shows that you can uncomfortably witness from your side chair and sofa while drinking a nice cold beer. If I were to use your illogic, Tibs, that is applied to the Capitol protest, then every single one of the people at a BLM rally/protest and all the people on the Left who support the BLM rallies/protests and all people in general who support the BLM rallies/protests are to be held 100% responsible for any damages, injuries and/or deaths that are a result - direct or indirect - of any and all BLM rallies/protests that have taken place or will take place in the future.
That's some sound illogic, is it not?
So, as has been pointed out - and you grudgingly accept - there was at least one or two KNOWN participants in the Capitol riot who were not ... ahem ... "hardcore, frothing-at-the-mouth Trump supporters hellbent on storming the Capitol". At this point, I'd ask you to present an image of a "hardcore, frothing-at-the-mouth Trump supporter" so we can all be witness to what you speak of, but we all know that you cannot and will not do so. Anyway, if there were KNOWN actors who were there who had stated they were intent to agitate and incite as much as they could, then we can also believe that there were UNKNOWN actors there to do the same. These type of people do not act alone. Look at your precious BLM rallies/protests for proof. There is solid, undisputable proof of this at BLM rallies/protests. It starts as it always does - with some idiots on skateboards.
A window happens to break for absolutely no good damn reason at all. Just a freak occurrence of nature, I guess. Then it spirals from there.
The difference is, the BLM rallies/protests are damaging private property because of government actions.
The riot at the Capitol was on government ground because of ... and for ... government actions.
oh, but again, I digress. Carry on in your safe-space vacuum
