My point is you said the national guard would've been at the capitol asap if the situation was different but they weren't deployed right to Minneapolis or other cites the first night of riots so your statement doesn't make a lot of sense

how would the national guard have even known about it ahead of time? Its not like what happened today that was planned and even encouraged by the president and a lot of other politicians and right wing media jackwagons

The two things really are not comparable at all no matter how much right wing folks want them to be

At that point, no. Before that, before the gas and gunshots, aside from proud boys or their ilk looting stores in an attempt--one apparently more successful than it should have been--the frame the BLM protestors with rioting, the protests were peaceful gatherings and marches. This has been documented by the people who were actually there standing up against police brutality. Then the shit hit the fan, and the burnings began.

The fun part is, we don't have to play the "what if game" - we already SAW the capital go on a armed lockdown in preparation for a BLM protest a year ago. For a peaceful protest that amount of nothing.

In comparison, it was KNOWN this riot would happen, and not only were the police unprepared, they LET THEM INSIDE the capital.

Which makes a lot more sense when you remember that the police and domestic terrorists are on the same side.

Sadly yes. As I have said in a couple other places today alone, our lawn enforcement needs a serious overhaul. The current force will not like it, but what playground bully likes it when you take away their toys and give them a time out while handing the ball to someone actually trustworthy?

LOL at thinking what Rage is. Even if you hate the lyrics or genre, Tom Morello's accomplishments in furthering what can be done with the guitar *alone* is worth more than Bieber's entire career. And it isn't even up for debate.

It's not bait it's a statement of fact. They wouldn't have even made it up the steps.

It's completely impossible to understand how these terrorists got into the senate chamber, into the office of Pelosi. There had to have been a point where they go "Stop or we shoot" it doesn't make sense that these people were able to storm into the sacred halls of our legislature and most of them make it out alive.

The police were clearly playing by a different game book for these terrorists.

And they were out for the blood of specific members of government, an active threat. It's genuinely absurd that they were not just treated with kid gloves, but let into the building and given opportunities to take selfies... well, until you remember that some of those who work forces are...

What do you think armed security guards are for if not to say "stop or we shoot" to people that are trying to force their way into somewhere they are not authorized to be? Especially armed people that are explicitly threatening some of those within said area?
