Sorry just trying to poke fun at how so many articles that are even trying to be a bit more balanced still have to have a sentence in the first paragraph that says something like, "while I, like every person, was so horrified by the events of that day..." It's like, shut up, fuck off, you wiener. Every single thing the patriots did was fine. Why is that so hard to say? The big problem is that one of the guys was dressed in a buffalo suit or whatever? Nothing even happened, you goddamned pussies (talking about the media, not you pedes). I mean, of course something very bad DID happen, but that was a Capitol Hill cop ruthlessly assassinating a female veteran, RIP ASHLI BABBITT, but that has to do with our completely evil and corrupt government, not anything any patriots did.
Also, to any three letter gaylords reading this: I am sorry, I realize I committed a thought crime. I'm always trying to do better, but I am white, so the thought crimes still just kind of happen, no matter what I try. I am now signing off to lash myself with a bullwhip until I collapse in a puddle of pain, shame, and self-hatred.
I was there just outside the capital. I never went in but could see in one hallway. I never saw patriot or capital police threaten or be threatened by each other.
One capital policewoman handed me a flag she had picked up that was being trampled and asked me to take it. She also saw my hat and thanked me for my service.
The only two people I saw causing any trouble were under 30, one was black and has been identified in media as a blm organizer.
I was tear gassed by the capital police but they hardly were iron fisted and there were only a handful of them so no one felt threatened by a cannister being shot every 5 or ten minutes (& the wind blew it into the capital police faces more often than into the patriots)
I know I only saw one point of view. But imho both sides acted honorably and non violently.
Huh. Wouldn't have known that. Thanks for the info.
