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

Was a Monarchy at the time, would not have mattered.
Similar to how Libyans have no place protesting on American soil without invite.
the Capitol is "the people's house", the (mostly peaceful) protestors there could have un-ironically chanted "who's house!?!?-----OUR house!?!?"

So you're saying that they were providing cover for the terrorists amongst them?

Thr difference being that my stupid misreading of your post actually is the most charitable interpretation possible

Yes, and the customer is always right. There's nothing quite like an aphorism that's sort of true but isn't really once facts are brought to bear.

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.

Watching that video pisses me off all over again. A Capitol building full of deplorables.

calling it an execution is comically dishonest

The real dishonesty comes if you ask one of the Trumpers shedding tears over this if they felt that way about any of the unarmed blacks killed by police recently. I have asked that question on other websites, and have never gotten a direct response.

Huh?





No, but seriously, what? YOU brought up the Tea Party, but turns out it was a non-sequitur. I was trying to compare apples to apples, (American Embassy > US Government property. Capitol > US Government Property. Tea ships > not US property).

But you did show a similarity between the Benghazi attack (uninvited mob) and the Capitol attack (again, uninvited mob), so, thanks? I guess?

Yep.
The shooting of the first person trying to get through the window and posing no immediate threat to anyone served as an example to the rest of the (mostly peaceful) protestors.

That is just for starters.Whole slew of charges facing this guy.Breaking and entering..Pelosi's office as are most of the congressional offices..are not open to the public the way that most of the capitol is.

Were you asking an actual question?
What is the difference between Libyans invading American soil, and Americans invading American soil? That was a legit question?

So you approve of the storming of the Capitol by an armed mob?

I am beggining to smell Troll in this thread.

How many people actually roamed the corridors of the capitol? My take was it was a few dozen, but I have seen no count so I may be completely misinterpreting what happened.

Here is an example of people occupying a federal building as part of a demonstration and seeking a change in the constitution of the US, sounds pretty revolutionary to me.

The plain clothes secret services police are there to to do one job only. They are trained to shoot first. They don't wait to discover your motive for bursting into a highly secure area of central government.

Exactly!!!
It is the essence of hypocrisy to shed tears over unarmed people being shot while in the act of breaking the Law, then celebrate the death of this poor woman who was summarily executed for trespassing.

The peaceful protestors who beat a Capitol Poiceman to Death?
Sorry, but if you were in the mob who did that you are not a peaceful protestor.

I'm going to wait until a legal expert on use of force provides an argument and evidence.
