• 2021 vs 2023

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to ALL on Wed Apr 12 09:27:00 2023
    January 6, 2021 - After attending a rally where Donald Trump tells
    the audience to, "Peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard," a
    large group of protesters un-peacefully storms the US Capitol building in DC. Although several videos do show some members of the group actually being let
    in my security, this event cannot be classified as peaceful. The
    protesters were attempting to disrupt legislative proceedings and were at
    least temporarily successful.

    The peanut gallery: "Donald Trump is responsible! Everyone involved must
    be held accountable! Insurection! Put them all in jail!"

    Spring, 2023 - The January 6 Incident is still considered an "insurection."

    Meanwhile, an unrully mob, lead in part by three state legislators,
    temporarily takes over the Tennessee State Capitol building. These representatives, and others, use bullhorns to direct the mob and disrupt legislative proceedings. Afterwards, due to their direct participation in
    the event, the three are ruled guilty of breaking the rules of the legislative floor, and two of the three are voted out of the legislature.

    In an unrelated event, protesters also temporarily disrupt proceedings in
    the Kentucky State Capitol building, leading to several persons being removed by police from the legislative chambers.

    The peanut gallery: "(The TN legislature) are enemys of democracy!
    The (TN) house speaker should be removed! (The disrupters') rights
    are being trampled on!" People in the elected Federal government,
    including the President and Vice President, speak out *against* the rules of the TN legislature being enforced and against any prosecution of protesters.

    As it got less national press coverage, the event in Kentucky does not
    garner as many headlines but did result in similar local reactions, as well as some threats being made against the legislature.

    My how times change so quickly.

    Are you saying that Jan 6 was peaceful?

    The peanut gallery: "Donald Trump is responsible! Everyone involved must
    be held accountable! Insurection! Put them all in jail!"

    Donald Trump told his supporters that day "if you don't fight like hell you won't have a country anymore".

    Spring, 2023 - The January 6 Incident is still considered an "insurection."

    What do you think it was? The republican narrative at the time was something along the lines of "It was a peaceful tourist visit". Is that still the republican narrative today?

    Or not.

    What part of "un-peacefully," "this event cannot be classified as
    peaceful," and "attempting to disrupt" are you having difficulty
    understanding? It is right there, in my original post, that you
    quoted back with your reply and that I have included in this one.

    Do you not learn the meaning of words like "cannot" and "disrupt," or
    prefixes like "un-" in British Columbian schools?

    Some assistance for you:
    "un-peacefully" = not peaceful
    "cannot be classifield as peaceful" = it was not peaceful
    "attempting to disrupt" = trying to act in a not peaceful manner

    Calling the more recent events "peaceful" would also be incorrect, but
    there seems to be a double-standard in that department, which would have
    been my original point. You seem to be too stuck on simple words and phrases you cannot understand to pick up on that.

    I am not surprised.

    peaceful," and "attempting to disrupt" are you having difficulty understanding? It is right there, in my original post, that you

    You used the terms "peacefully and patriotically" and "un-peacefully" in the same sentence.

    It's hard to know what you are trying to say.

    The events of Jan 6 was something more that "un-peaceful"

    Calling the more recent events "peaceful" would also be incorrect, but
    there seems to be a double-standard in that department, which would have
    been my original point. You seem to be too stuck on simple words and phrases you cannot understand to pick up on that.

    Was there another insurrection?

    I am not surprised.

    Neither am I.

    Ahh, yes... Our wonderful two-tiered system of justice. The Ignorant Elitists can do no wrong and everyone else can do no right.

    But the Elitists can't hold their own people to the same standards as the rest of us.

    You used the terms "peacefully and patriotically" and "un-peacefully" in the

    e sentence.

    Yes, that first phrase was "in quotes," meaning it was someone else's words. The rest of the paragraph, where I made numerous references to it not being peaceful, were my words.

    It's hard to know what you are trying to say.

    Not if you know how to read what is in quotes as something someone else
    said, it is not difficult at all.

    Then again, you have difficultly identifying your own words quoted back to
    you, so there is that.

    You sound like Donald Trump. No facts at all, just a baseless/factless attack.

    See above.

    LOL, you are the one who said it was hard to know, which implies you could
    not figure it out. <shrugs>

    That is also true. You've more than enough proven that here.
