I don't doubt the sentiment was there. How do you build a case to prove it for sure in court? So far the charges seem to be on the lines of 'violent entry into a restricted area' and 'trespass'.

You probably can't prove it "for sure" for a lot of these people, but you can almost certainly prove it for the Ziptie Guys, and anyone caught on camera saying things like "Hang Pence!"

Just because some of them might get lucky and walk is no reason not to charge them all. Even those who get lucky will know they got lucky, and just maybe be "scared straight" by their near-miss.

It is still totally ridiculous for a sword. Be as into knives as you want, swords are not just big knives.

It's Conan the Barbarian. It's a fantasy. It's supposed to be totally ridiculous.

Likewise, Conan was played by someone who made a career out of shaping his own body by lifting heavy things, not by a merciless warrior savage.
 
Both Trump & Pence's pages have now been removed. Pences took a while longer. Maybe they did not realize that it was there at first.

Rather disturbingly one of them yells out "...you are treating me like a black person" while being cuffed on the ground. Sad.

I almost posted that one but it isn't 'post riot' it's an old bit of video.

I'm not arguing about that. Just that it is real steel and is a real sword. The thing is huge and is totally impractical.
 
Oh my God it's bad enough to deal with the "While you were partying, I studied the blade" brigade in the movie threads.

I love that when I find something slightly annoying you go over the top in denouncing it. I feel like you are trying to make me feel better about my petty concerns. Thank you!

No, its it's real steel. It was made by Jody Samson. Samson is one of the world's top six master knife and sword makers, and is most widely known for making the swords featured in the movie Conan the Barbarian.

It's basically a exaggerated version of a Viking Sword.
And the fighting style used in "Conan" is pretty much Japanese Samauri style.
The writer director John Milius is a HUGE Kurosawa fan.
BTW Arnie had the sword hanging in the Governor's office here in Sacramento through his tenure as Governor.

out of curiosity, if i were to show up at your job, set up a gallows outside, and walked around inside looking for you while shouting “hang vixen” with some zip ties how serious would that be taken

I am not a politician or a public figure. The person carrying that gallows contraption will say in court, hey, nobody told me I couldn't. Note, usually on demonstrations people are instructed their back packs have to be transparent and they aren't allowed various poles and banners. Jake Angeli, self-styled idiot, has on his charge sheet he was carrying a spear (yes - a deadly weapon) with a US flag attached. Who allowed him to carry such an item? The people in charge of controlling the crowds (the FBI and the police) will be blamed for not even challenging it. I understand that this gallows thing has been seen at other demonstrations.

I went to a football match in which my team were playing another team about to be relegated. Their supporters had a 'funeral march' along the road leading up to the stadium carrying a coffin with the name of their team on it.

Is it really 'intent to hang the vice president' or is it 'gallows humour'?


I present my case, M'Lud.

The zip-tie guy was with his ******* Mom. He'll claim in court he was just role-playing. You have to somehow get evidence that will secure a conviction.
