Lee Stefanik called the January 6th Insurrectionists "Hostages" on TV Today

[Catsnmeters]

I don't see seditious conspiracy applying here and I definitely don't agree with you on the rest. Your opinion seems a little knee jerk to me. MAGA

What you see is irrelevant.

A jury of their peers saw it and convicted them accordingly.

There is no knee jerk about it. Seditious conspiracy were the convictions. It is simple fact.

Sure fuckup, if it was just trespass and vandalism why the calls for hang Mike pence to follow orders to not certify the 50-state election count.

who wants to hang Mike?

 

[otto105]

Why are you asking us about a guy calling for Pence to be hanged? Ask HIM about. It has nothing to do with anyone but him. For the record, ive never actually heard a guy calling for Pence to be hung, but if some loner did, who the fuck cares?

[lennypartiv]

And by "these poor people" you are referring to "these poor FBI agents/ANTIFA/BLM" right? Right!?!?!?

Gaetz was there, he said it was Antifa.

 

[Godboy]

You cant hang someone from that. Its just a prop, like the Trump piniatas that democrats would beat with sticks. Why are you acting like that is a real gallows?

 

[JusticeHammer]

Yeah, there was. YOu just saw clips of it.

No there wasn't.

 

[Crepitus]

No there wasn't.

Yes, it happened. You watched it live on TV.

 

[lennypartiv]

Yes, it happened. You watched it live on TV.

You mean the protest?

 

[otto105]

You mean the protest?

The Insurrection by fuckups.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

There was no insurrection, so I guess Stefanik is right. These poor people have been punished far beyond the seriousness of their crimes, which were mostly trespassing. Back to MAGA and government for the people.

This is a lie.

There was both a treasonous insurrection and a rightwing domestic terrorist attack.

That conservatives continue to lie about this fact and lie about those lawfully charged and prosecuted for their acts of treasonous insurrection and domestic terrorism is further proof that the right’s war on democracy is ongoing – the treasonous insurrection and rightwing domestic terrorist attack wasn’t an isolated incident.

What? FBI still has no interest in, has not posted a Most Wanted photo, or made any inquiries about "Scaffold Commander?" The single most important Fed instigator on J6?

Meet Ray Epps, Part 2: Damning New Details Emerge Exposing Massive Web of Unindicted Operators at the Heart of January 6 - Revolver News​

Revolver blows open a network of still-unindicted operators who appear to have been intimately involved in the initial Jan. 6 Capitol breach.


Perched right across from FenceCutterBulwark at 12:31 p.m. is the man widely regarded by online researchers as the most infamous of all unindicted January 6 riot leaders—a man unmentioned in the mainstream press but elevated to legendary status online as “#NWScaffoldCommander.”

Don’t let looks deceive you: This extremely peculiar middle-aged man with glasses, a nerdy mask and a blue ballcap has been assigned more notoriety by deep researchers than arguably any other person of the thousands they have indexed. NWScaffoldCommander’s frenetic whirlwind of activities, and apparent role as “the ringleader” of the breach, have made him the subject of Russiagate-level rumor and speculation that he was privy to a January 6 “master plan.”

NWScaffoldCommander (we’ll call him just “ScaffoldCommander” for short) gets his name from being the ostensible “commander” of the prominent “media tower” that overlooked the Capitol’s back terrace on January 6. You’ve probably seen this tower in pictures—it’s the tall temporary structure built in November 2020 so that media crews could properly film the January 2021 inauguration ceremony. Here’s what it looks like without people around:

And here’s what it looked like on January 6, with ScaffoldCommander and his crew controlling it:

S


As you can see, this tower is the most perfect “command post” that anyone seeking to monitor and direct the Capitol crowd could possibly hope for. It stands front and center, everyone can see it, and the man high atop it can see and scream down to all.

One can only imagine the damage a highly aggressive and monomaniacally focused breach leader could do from this perch if he had zero scruples, a plan to attack the Capitol, and an extremely loud megaphone.

If you’ve seen any mid-day January 6 footage, you have probably seen ScaffoldCommander in action without knowing it.

From high atop the tower between 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m, ScaffoldCommander issued the iconic bellows and non-stop commands that are loud and clear on almost every video clip from January 6 filmed in that time interval. For nearly 90 minutes straight, he bombards the otherwise leaderless crowd below him with endless variations on a single instruction: “Don’t just stand there. Keep moving forward!”

Watch:



But once the crowd had continuously “moved forward” for over an hour, and the very first handful of rioters entered the building, ScaffoldCommander suddenly threw the switch: “Okay we’re in! We’re in! Come on! We gotta fill up the Capitol! Come on! Come now! We need help We gotta fill up the Capitol! They got in.”

This clip below is checkmate. It should make ScaffoldCommander one of the top criminal suspects on the entire FBI Capitol Most Wanted List (spoiler alert: he isn’t even on the list, and no charges have been filed, and the FBI to date has still never acknowledged his existence).

And the dishonest right continues with its lies.

 

[JusticeHammer]

Yes, it happened. You watched it live on TV.

Actually I didn't.

 

[JusticeHammer]

This is a lie.

There was both a treasonous insurrection and a rightwing domestic terrorist attack.

Bullshit.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

The average sentence was 60 days. Of the 1,000 or so arrested, about 250 didn’t do any time at all.

I have no doubt you are correct on these numbers. Of course a few have still not been caught, others not tried, and others just fined. Of those jailed many are already free.

The worst most violent types, as well as key rightwing conspirators and organizers, and those with long criminal records, generally are the ones who will remain in jail longest … so long as Trump doesn’t win & pardon them.

Many of these latter are real terrorist types. But they are actually few compared with the many morons, many of whom now regret their stupidity in being misled by Trump & following his agents like Giuliani in waging “Trial by Combat.”

By the way, if you have a recent link on the numbers, average sentences, etc, I’d value seeing that.

Typical left wing propaganda. Find an obscure remark by someone and turn it into a federal case. Meanwhile the left coast democrats refuse to criticize the Hamas demonstrators who actually held the Sacramento legislature hostage.

Hundreds of convictions, but a major mystery is still unsolved 3 years after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot

Washington’s federal courthouse remains flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings. The hunt for suspects is far from over.

Some in New York state are smarter than I thought, voting for a dedicated and bright Congressperson like Stefanik.
