    Are you suggesting those elderly policemen were violent in their handling of that young woman?

      No

      The crowd was violently trying to break into the chambers. And they eventually did. And I am using "violently" in the same way as in the Jan 6 riots. Ironically.

        I believe a single window was broken and something like a banner got torn down. Oh, and let's not forget the worst act, when some lowly peon had the audacity to sit his filthy, smelly butt in Nancy Pelosi's chair and put his stinky feet up on her sacred desk.

        And citing an instance of gross police incompetence and wrong-doing that if it took place at a BLM/antifa riot a bit earlier (one of those that Harris said they will not and should not stop doing) the cop would be sitting in an isolation cell awaiting trial, probably doesn't help your case.

            Wow, your ignorance is off the charts.

            I guess that's what comes of willful ignorance of refusing to watch the Jan 6 committee investigations: You didn't see the numerous videos everyone else saw of violence in the building, and the insurrectionists breaking down doors and windows.

            As a result, because of your complete willful ignorance you're now making an utter fool of yourself here. Well, that's on you. Your ignorance is your own foolish doing, and now we can laugh at you for it.

            Various reports of the damage done range from 1 to 3 million dollars worth, primarily in broken glass, broken doors, and graffiti. They did not all walk carefully down the carpet between the ropes like serial liar Tucker Carlson showed on his propaganda show.

              Mild crowded pushing isn't violence.

              Do I have to roll on the floor laughing at you as well for being as ignorant as Rogue about what actually happened on Jan 6? Do yourself a favor and go watch some of the Jan 6 committee hearings on youtube - many of the early hearings were predominantly video clips of incidents from the day, which will give you an idea of what actually occurred so you don't keep making such ignorant statements.

                That's OK, we have been rolling on the floor laughing at you for years now. Jan 6 hearings? That's a joke right there. It's entire purpose was to frame the incident as an "insurrection" - and only allowing one point of view to be heard.

                And "mild crowded pushing" If you want to be taken seriously, at least try to be honest in your characterizations.

                  There is something just incredibly sick about someone pretending that people hollering into a bullhorn 'out of order' somehow even comes close to what happened Jan 6. Absolute idiocy on your part Sparko,

                    Ox, I don't think EITHER was an "insurrection" - that was my whole point. They were both riots. Both illegal protests. But neither was an insurrection. It is complete idiocy on your and the left's part to try to frame Jan 6 as an insurrection.

                      The $2.7 million figure is for all damages caused during the riot, not for damages inside the Capitol building.

                      And what you describe sounds like it was mostly exterior -- again not inside the Capitol building.

                      Btw, I was going on what another poster (kccd?) provided when she listed the damages done inside which included defacing some statues (usually a leftist activity) and tearing down some banners or something like that, as well as some outright theft (things like stolen laptops IIRC).

                      Everyone knows that there was rioting outside, including violent clashes with police. But then, again, that wasn't what was going on with those inside (if you exclude the trigger happy cop who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt).

                      an amusing very short video

                      Perhaps you are confusing the two or don't understand the difference given how you keep writing about what took place outside.






                      Btw, Macdonald, who was the one who snarked about the "violent terrorists" respecting the velvety ropes, died in September 2021. Now maybe time moves different in new Zealand, but that was long before Tucker Carlson showed any clips from January 6th.

                        Wrong. The event in tennessee was not any sort of 'riot'. Just a basic protest over being shutdown by republicans refusing to even hear their opinions and arguments. Their voice was being silenced, and so they made them listen. The were loud. They made some noise. That's it.

                        Jan 6 was violent, destructive, people were killed, beaten. The capitol was soiled and trampled, our legislators had to be shuttled to a safe space and protected from the violence of the crowd. There is no comparison to be made. Except by those averse to truth.

                          At least I am honest enough to see both as illegal riots. When you can drop your obvious bias and hatred for all things Trump, maybe I will listen to you. But until then you are just another TDS nutjob.

                          You really should just admit to being a liberal at this point and join your buddies in the Democratic Party.

                            They played videos of events on Jan 6th. Go watch some of those videos, and it will stop you from making absurdly false statements about the events of that day.

                              Rogue,
                              If you're going to actively bask in your own ignorance and refuse to actually watch any video of what happened on January 6th, maybe stop making an utter fool of yourself with continued false claims about what happened there?

                              There was plenty of damage inside the building. It wasn't just on the outside. How do I know? Because I saw videos of it happening. Because, unlike you I didn't marinate in foolishness and self-inflicted ignorance by refusing to watch videos of such a major event.
