Most of those posts were specifically saying to leave guns in Virginia. The overwhelming majority of protestors were not armed, if some were well then their were no shots fired, no fires started i'm aware of, no stabbings, and no explosions.

So it's not like this was a violent mob armed to the teeth looking to start a war.

I agree with the other guy in regards to the lead up but yours is the correct perspective.

The lead up was a lot of hype. Sure I was considering going armed too but I had to pass through two roadblocks. Risky proposition getting picked off before you even get to the main event.

I saw on a live stream that they were trying to light camera equipment on fire. They got into a CNN tent or something and grabbed up all their hardware, the tent, chairs, piled it up and tried to light it on fire.

I mean, I don't really care about CNN, fuck them, but that's a lot of money in equipment and it seemed like needless destruction.

I understand the desire, but at least steal the shit and use it for yourself if you're going to do that. Their camera's are expensive as fuck.

I didn't see, that but I agree that it's needless destruction. I'm not going to get high and mighty and say it was a particularly bad thing but not really the focus. Although when you see what CNN is doing now it is probably fairly justified.

I don’t disagree. It was overwhelmingly unarmed. But most of the posts I am talking about were non-specific “we need more choppers” type posts. We can’t pretend we weren’t advocating violence in the lead up to the event. We are systematically erasing the truth about our community’s posture in the lead up to the 6th. That is my biggest complaint.

Talking about helicopters is so over the top it cannot be construed as violent. It's jokes. We don't have access to helicopters.

Its time to deport this guy if a joke meme is his evidence.

He’s probably screenshotting his comments for reddit or the feds. Helicopter meme is a trope joke dumbass. Just like kathy griffin was probably not really going to cut trumps head off.
