Good point. It doesn't matter what he was struck with, but the narrative now is it's a big conspiracy that he was ever struck at all. According to what I saw, he was. We shouldn't try to hide from truths just because they are inconvenient.
I don't think he was. I watched it and never saw it associated with Sicknick other than the fire extinguisher connection. That was the area he was stationed though and likely close to where he was hit.
Totally. I have no idea how bad his cut was. No clue. But if you get that kind of cut while wearing a ballistic helmet it seems like it would have to be a big hit.
It was not an insignificant face in the crowd, actually. It haunted me for days before I even saw a photograph of Sicknick for several reasons. First, the moment was so raw and I was wholly unable to capture what would have been my best photograph of the day. All I could do was sit there and observe it. My phone was out of memory after the rally and so I was there on the front line deleting old family videos to free up space. I have a six minute gap in photos.
The second was because a crowd parted and all of a sudden that guy is standing in front of me with that crazy gun. At first I didn't know what it was and thought it was a taser of some sort, so I noped backwards behind a few other people, then when he turned and walked away I just watched him. A guy with blood and pepper all over him with that crazed look on his face kind of stands out, even on a day like the 6th.
I'm not claiming my word is any good in court. I'm not asking you to believe me at all. I'm asking for the community to look for photos or video of the area on the west side of the Capitol before the push passed the scaffolding & the area where the officers fell back to and congregated. Find the officer in white. That's all. If it was Sicknicks doppelganger that had blood on his face, I'm fine with that too. But someone has film of that officer without his mask and I can't find it, despite all the camera on scene.
Yes, it was obviously pepper sprayv in the picture. I'm not retarded. That isn't my photo. It happens to be one of only two times I have seen him captured from that day. The other being my own video after he fell back. It was taken before I saw him. When I saw him his visor was up, his mask off, and blood was coming down his face into his uniform.
I have lots of cool stories from that day. You?
No response for me? Just a down vote with your tail between your legs? You told someone to kill themselves. Think about that for a second. What is wrong with you that you throw that insult around so Willy nilly about who manufactured some spray gun... which wasn't even relevant to anything I'd said.
Okay, then if he wasn't the officer in white, which could be true, then his doppelganger got hit with something so hard that, despite wearing a riot mask, it caused a laceration large enough on his left brow that he bled all over his uniform. Don't you think we'd have heard of another officer with that type of injury? I can't believe no one else has a picture of that guy because it was a crazy image and there are tons of cameras everywhere. That's why I'm asking everyone here to comb for the officer in white.
...is the truth is the truth is the truth. You quoting what CNN or anyone else says, even an autopsy, won't change what I saw. I know what I saw and I know God knows what I saw. All I can do is tell the truth.
And hold on, why would I make this up if I was there. I'm putting my neck on the line by telling all the feds that are scanning this site trying to catch a Trump supporter that I was there on the front line. I'm using my real account so everyone can see that I'm not some lefty plant pretending to be a supporter to stir up trouble. Think it through for a second. I'm telling the truth
He has a helmet on so the extinguisher wouldn't have done the damage you're saying it would. He had a wild, frantic look on his face like he was ready to face any mfer that tried anything, so i took steps backwards. The rest of the Leo did not frighten me at all, but that dude looked wild. I just found a clip I took of him after he fell back to a safe area, but I can't see his uniform very well and he looks to be wearing a gas mask at that point. there were so many cameras around it's impossible that no one else saw what I saw and captured it on film. Search footage from the west side of the Capitol at~2:30 for the only officer in white.
As if the Republicans had any balls to do anything anyway. Lots of talk about lots of things but in the end...
I'm afraid they will. If we see what happened to the Nephites and how the Gadianton Robbers were able to draw away much of the righteous, that is what I'm seeing in the church now.
The simplicity of the plan is beautiful. Don't want to follow God? Fine, up to you, but that might suck. We respect everyone's agency as it is fundamental to our progression.
Ha ha. Exactly though. Like, did they read the book because it's literally the opposite of what they are advocating for.
He's Mormon, I'm Mormon... That's it. I think we trusted him to follow God and not be corruptable, but, like the book of Mormon says, all will be revealed. The church is made up of humans and humans are inherently flawed. That's sort of the plan. He uses his agency poorly either because he's flawed or corrupted and flawed; not sure which yet. Personally, I think he meant well but lines were drawn and he convinced himself he is in the right. He is deluded and lost in the mist of darkness.
Agreed. But even here in Seattle the overwhelming majority in our ward are freedom living patriots with their common sense intact.
They talk about those guys you mention in the scriptures too:
Helaman6:
37 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did hunt the band of robbers of Gadianton; and they did preach the word of God among the more wicked part of them, insomuch that this band of robbers was utterly destroyed from among the Lamanites.
38 And it came to pass on the other hand, that the Nephites did build them up and support them, beginning at the more wicked part of them, until they had overspread all the land of the Nephites, and had seduced the more part of the righteous until they had come down to believe in their works and partake of their spoils, and to join with them in their secret murders and combinations.
People here would love to hear those talks, actually. I've been tempted to post pieces but didn't want to get blowback for preaching. But whatever, they are awesome rants against the evils of communism and socialism.
In Helaman 7:4 And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness, and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment-seats—having usurped the power and authority of the land; laying aside the commandments of God, and not in the least aright before him; doing no justice unto the children of men;
5 Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness; letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money; and moreover to be held in office at the head of government, to rule and do according to their wills, that they might get gain and glory of the world, and, moreover, that they might the more easily commit adultery, and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills.
The LDS religion is based. we believe the battle between freedom and communism started in the preexistence. Christ's plan vs. Lucifer's plan.
Now do Mitt Romney.
Yeah, sorry, that bit was from the Book of Mormon. Which is just a record of the people from ancient America and their dealings with God, much like the bible is a record of the people from that part of the world. We believe their history is a sort of a parallel or shadow of our own time and it can help to guide us in these latter days. I understand you not believing in it and wouldn't expect you to take my word for it. Fortunately, you can find out if it's true for yourself.
What a joke. Sham impeachment, sham government, sham logic. But if you're religious, the scriptures have told us this is all going to happen. In the end times good will be called evil and evil will be called good and a secret cabal will overthrow the government. This is all supposed to happen. And if you're not religious... Now's a good time to start. Ha.
"4 And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness, and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment-seats—having usurped the power and authority of the land; laying aside the commandments of God, and not in the least aright before him; doing no justice unto the children of men; 5 Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness; letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money; and moreover to be held in office at the head of government, to rule and do according to their wills, that they might get gain and glory of the world, and, moreover, that they might the more easily commit adultery, and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills." Helaman 7:4-5
Yes, well stated. I agree it's all very weird. I don't have all of those answers, only that the face I saw matched the photos of Sicknick and blood was running down his face from his left brow. If this wasn't him, great. But with all the cameras around and the fact that his mask was off when I saw him, means we should be able to find a picture of what I saw if we look for the officer in white. Then we'll be closer to understanding what happened
Yep.
