Cont: Trump’s Coup - Part 2

[gregthehammer]

I'm wondering what the difference between this group of "Patriots" storming the Capitol, and the Libyan group of terrorists who stormed our embassy in Benghazi?

How did executing her provide protection from the "mob behind her"?

Another lie.

 

[Distracted1]

Why is that relevant? Do you honestly think that the only risk to the congress-critters, policemen or staff was from gunfire?

The policeman that was killed was supposedly hit by a fire extinguisher. He was bludgeoned to death. The fact that he wasn't shot instead does not make him any less dead. (Not to mention the individual pictured carrying the type of zip-ties useful in handcuffing people. And the fact that just a day or 2 earlier, authorities had arrested at least one person who was planning on bringing weapons to the riot.)

He returned to the police station after the altercation during which he was hit in the head.

He was not "bludgeoned to death"

As noted in another thread in order to protect the statues or racist traitors Trump signed an Executive Order mandating a 10 year sentence for anyone who, I'm quoting Trump's actual Executive Order here: "It is the policy of the United States to prosecute to the fullest extent permitted under Federal law, and as appropriate, any person or any entity that destroys, damages, vandalizes, or desecrates a monument, memorial, or statue within the United States or otherwise vandalizes government property."

Seems straight forward to me.

 

[Darat]

calling it an execution is comically dishonest

Since we know the facts it is simply lying.

Or, to use an example much heralded over the Summer, the group of patriots who stormed the ships in Boston Harbor and dumped out all that tea so long ago.

See post #430 and the replies to it.

Executions are controlled killings. To execute, you have to have physical control of your target and surroundings. Someone bashing their way into a window? What kind of mental gyrations do you have to go through, to decide someone forcing their way into a space is under the control of someone inside that space with charges to protect?

Since you can apparently come up with another example illustrating the same point can you answer the question?

The skull damage from the bludgeoning killed him. By your logic, Babbitt wasn't killed by police, she died in the hospital.

I see some of the protestors have been arrested,namely guy who sat in Pelosi's chair as one. Just wondering,considering security and police stood back and let them enter what can they be charged with?

Much more than him. I'm waiting to read when the guy walking off with the Speaker's podium is arrested.

 

[Paul2]

No, he's trolling.

that would explain it

 

[Meadmaker]

How did executing her provide protection from the "mob behind her"?

The policeman who fired the shot did not know if it would. As it turns out, it did, but that was a side effect.

 

[Distracted1]

By empirical evidence. Reports indicate that the mob behind her had a change of heart and stopped their efforts, at least long enough for the folk inside to retreat safely.

See responses, if you care to.

Lost 430 doesn't answer that at all

Here is a long video that includes the incident.

Not easy viewing.




But look at them trying to smash their way into a barricade

It was self defense.

There were lots of them

They had warning

The gunshot stopped them. They suddenly sobered up.

Those patriots actually had truth and reality on their side, though.

Not sure how that relates, were the tea ships considered govenment soil?

 

[Dr. Keith]

To be fair, I think Planigale is seriously wrong on this point, but I'm not sure she's part of a "lot".

I kind of just meant this whole part of the forum. Even I get more pedantic in here.

 

[Babbylonian]

Perhaps the British legislature was meeting aboard?

 

[Dr. Keith]

What's an unassembled Molotov cocktail? A bottle of gasoline that has a cap instead of a wick?

That was my reading. Of course, you would have the wicks available and the zippo, because you can't count on the government to supply decent wicking material and that electric lighter you got in your stocking is convenient and all with the usb charging, but if there is a photo of the revolution you want to be seen with a zippo. That's just much cooler.
