While I place any and all blame on those who did it, it can NEVER be excused that it was "allowed" to happen.

An interesting thing to me is when I was a kid I looked up to most (but not all) politicians.
I believed most (but not all) were smart, moral, decent/good people.
TODAY, I figure if I were to get some background on all politicians on both the "local", "state" and "federal" levels, I would conclude that most of them are whacked out and I wouldn't even want them to "lead" my flag football team let alone my city, state, and country.
On a related side note - Think about this. Our current President is an Ivy League educated man that many consider/ed to be a "financial/business" genius. My hope is right now most people feel (and know) he's a fucking moron and a complete asshole.
Re: Violence
There is one thing that bothers me about this.
It's the "snitch" factor.
I would be extremely hesitant to a) want to deal with the FBI to ANY degree and b) narc on some psycho who probably has psycho friends (and probably family members).
I am sure the FBI would say it's "anonymous" and they could/would "protect me" but is it really worth it to get involved? No thanks.

This is fucking shocking to me. No question inside help. Treasonous.

Re: Violence
Parallels meaning large amounts of people protesting and rioting.
Like dunking a basketball.
Sometimes it's a dunk in the middle of the game in a tight match. Other times it's a dunk after a steal when your team is down 50 and the opponent is just trying to dribble it out.
It is still a dunk.

one group was protesting for racial and social justice, while the other was protesting for a faux stolen election
Re: Violence
Am I taking crazy pills?
It was, by the words we use to define things, a protest that turned into a riot.
I'm not arguing the cause behind them are the same.

Re: Violence
maybe it’s worth pointing out that while both are technically dunks, the similarities end right there. So what good is making that analogy?
But nonetheless, kind of a clever analogy, especially among hoops fans, so let’s roll with it.
Civil rights protests are the dunk mid game in a tight match that hopes to affect some future outcome.
Storming the Capitol in a blatant attack on the democratic process is stealing for a dunk at the end of a blowout. It’s butthurt looser shit that doesn’t change a thing toward the actual outcome.

Actually, these magaheads are all the white jeans.
Re: Violence
The subject doesn't matter. You have a right to peacefully protest. I don't care if the premise is false, crazy, anti-democratic, or whatever. If you don't like it, make counter-points to their ideas, but don't attack the people for simply protesting.
And, no matter what the subject is, you don't have a right to storm into a property that you're not allowed in, set fires, or be violent.

Re: Violence
In this case the comparison is specious at best. In this case we can’t say that it was “a protest that turned into a riot”. Rioting was the mildest thing on those who participated in the events at the Capitol. One doesn’t come equipped with zip ties, firearms and Malatov’s cocktail to a protest.
Re: Violence
I am 100% torn on my feelings about snitching.
This might be extreme but I feel if you don't snitch, you are basically aiding and abetting a criminal and helping to enable them to commit more crimes.
That being said, you (Jeeper) claim (or at least imply) someone is a "giant pussy" if they don't snitch.
Let me ask you this. If someone has seen a person who was killed because they were a "snitch" and forgetting about themself after that, they wouldn't want a loved one to be "retaliation"/"retribution"/"vengeance" for their being a snitch - are they still a "giant pussy" to you?
Well, I just might prefer to be a "giant pussy" who stays alive (and doesn't possibly put my family member/s well being in jeopardy) as opposed to some tough guy who is naive and goes ahead and snitches - and gets himself or someone he cares about killed because of it.

When your goal is "get a cool selfie of myself being a rebellious patriot to build up my digital persona" you need a really memorable costume.
