Can someone please share more information protestors USING their weapons? That means shots fired.Some protestors came armed to the protest and then used their weapons.
You mean the cops that testified with their emotional angst they should have gotten therapy for? The cop testimony was more theatrics.The cops that testified before Congress did not appear to think it was largely a peaceful protest.
There are other weapons besides guns.Karmamatterz » Mon Aug 02, 2021 11:35 am wrote:Can someone please share more information protestors USING their weapons? That means shots fired.Some protestors came armed to the protest and then used their weapons.
Maybe I'm badly informed on this, but as I recall the only shots fired were by the capitol police when they murdered the protestor.
News reports are that one of the other DC cops committed suicide today.Karmamatterz » Mon Aug 02, 2021 11:39 am wrote:You mean the cops that testified with their emotional angst they should have gotten therapy for?

I was being extremely sarcastic when I wrote "largely peaceful protest." I was mocking the protests of last summer when the douchebag talking stenographer/pr hacks who do faux journalism on television would be standing in front of a raging fire lit by "protestors" (not arsonists) and said douchebags would describe the riots as "largely peaceful protests." Sorry, thought that was a common knowledge type of joke.
Why?
Two more officers who responded to January 6 attack die by apparent suicide, bringing total to four
Four officers who responded to the January 6 attack on the Capitol have died by apparent suicide, including two whose deaths were confirmed on Monday by a spokesperson for Washington's Metropolitan Police Department.
Officer Gunther Hashida, an 18-year veteran on the force, was found dead in his home Thursday, according to Officer Hugh Carew, a police spokesperson.
...
Hours after Hashida's death was announced, MPD confirmed officer Kyle DeFreytag had also died by suicide in July.
"Officer Kyle DeFreytag, assigned to the Fifth District, was found deceased on Saturday, July 10, 2021," an MPD spokesperson confirmed to CBS News. The spokesperson added that the cause of death was suicide.
DeFreytag had been with the department since 2016, according to MPD, which also confirmed that DeFreytag responded to the Capitol on January 6. He had been assigned to enforce curfew violations at the Capitol following the riot, CBS affiliate WUSA-TV reports.
So the big problems are stupid regular people (not our leaders) and not enough solidarity with the cops traumatized by the events of 1/6?PufPuf93 » 30 Jul 2021 22:37 wrote:The cops that testified before Congress did not appear to think it was largely a peaceful protest.Karmamatterz » Fri Jul 30, 2021 10:05 am wrote:The whole idea of a coup or insurrection in the U.S. in the manner which the largely peaceful protest () took place is laughable. To actually think that group of folks was going to initiate a coup gives me belly laughs.
Was the "shaman" guy going to rain down fire and brimestone with his staff and get the entire U.S. military to lay down and do nothing? Would the FBI agents embedded join in the fray? Not to mention the national guard in 50 states? Good lord, just think of the large obstacles to overcome and REALLY have a successful coup in the USA.
No, the coup is OVER, has been for years. 9/11 sealed the deal and the Patriot Act was icing on the cake for their "legal" justification to punish those who step out of line. Pharma and military/intel corps are creating their new bio-security state which is a silent coup, one that people will embrace and beg for, like those fucking worthless masks.
Think the basic concept by Trump was to have cause to declare martial law, void the election, and have various lowlifes in place to retain control. Of course the day was planned and performed poorly.
Agree that 9-11 was staged and basically ended the idealized image of the USA and we are no longer anything close to a democracy.
I am pretty much of the perception in that multiple parties are causing chaos, sometimes at odds otherwise converging interests, to better their position when global population crashes. They want the population to crash. Things do not look so great for humanity.
Getting hard to breathe there are so many stupid people of ill will in the USA. RI disappoints me as well.
Reminder:
The guy who secured the payment from Pakistani ISI to Mohammed Atta...
Is your president.
In a shocking experiment, random Americans are asked if they’ll sign a petition supporting the arrest of Trump supporters who believe that Democrats stole the 2020 election. Recorded in San Diego, California.
Trump was cunt. He was a cunt of the ruling class. How may wars did that cunt begin? Fewer than before, fair enough. How many wars did he end? Zero. Does that make him not a cunt? Probably not, because everything else accelerated. But let's ask the question, how many opponents did he actually lock up? How many fewer did he torture and murder than previous cunts? Not that many. But how is the cunt (notionally) in charge today, doing by comparison? Well, like all the cunts before him, he doesn't actually seem to be in charge. He certainly hasn't released Assange and seems to be ploughing ahead. All the wars on the horizon seem closer than they were. There's no move to tackle global warming. There's no move to give Americans basic healthcare. There's no move to tackle the oligarchy. Plus, he seems quite happy to inject all Americans with poison. Biden seems to be a total cunt too.mentalgongfu2 » Tue Aug 10, 2021 1:03 am wrote:The sentiment is troublesome, for sure. But it's not at all new. History aside, candidate and then Pres.
