So you’re telling me the jan6 defendants had no intention to cause harm to the lawmakers? Actual people died on jan6- nobody died at prarieland afaik.

Have you seen the footage from the riots? They clobbered the shit out of the police trying to protect the lawmakers inside the capitol.

For example this guy: https://i.insider.com/6009c83521f52a0018cb9e21?width=1200&fo...

I’m sure he was just on his way to rebundle some loose cat5 cable down the hall with his zip ties.

And the person who is the subject of this article, did he personally commit all the acts you listed?

For clarity, only people who died on Jan 6th were protestors. The police officer who died on the 7th had a stroke. The two who died later were suicides. It’s negligent to conceal these facts.

(Note for clarity, almost everybody posting in this thread on every side is doing this kind of thing. Just move on to the “years of lead” phase already.)

For clarification, the Jan 6th rioters were attempting insurrection, not protesting. The stroke and suicides were a result of the rioters actions.
