....90 seconds of brutal mayhem, New York Times....

[Lesh]

And yet you sound exactly like a Trump Humper.

Funny that

And how many were charged with hijacking of the Northwest 727? Does that prove the plane was not hijacked?

"...sure wouldnt be the NYT or hollywood..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It must be my clumsy use of the English language that evidently makes my request unclear.

If I may, I'd like to try again: What sources does the good poster Hunter use when he seeks credible facts and information about the events of January 6th?

Surely, we all understand that he doesn't use ("wouldn't") the New York Times or whoever "Hollywood" is.
We get it.

However, knowing who he "wouldn't" use is not as helpful as knowing who he would. He implies that sources offered on this thread so far....New York Times & HBO....ain't credible.
OK, but then, who is? In the end, how does one stay informed about January 6th?

So again, poster Hunter, who do you recommend the posters, lurkers, and mods of this internet chatroom use to be as informed about January 6th as you suggest you are?

Serious contributors to this thread....for or against.....should ignore those who wish to bring up other topics.
This thread is about the reportage....in yesterday's New York Times and now HBO's documentary the day after tomorrow....on the events of January 6th.

Hopefully, adults here who wish to discuss the 2020 riots over police brutality throughout the nation, or Covid, or inflation, well, we request that they find threads or start threads where those topics can be reasonably and seriously discussed.

In the meantime, we welcome rational and thoughtful insights on the people and events of the January 6th phenomena and its threat to American democracy.

As adults, we can not talk about one event without bringing up comparisons to other events in the past. It seems what you are asking for is that people talk about ONLY their personal emotional response to the story, which appears to contain mostly leading and bias statements, mixed in with a few carefully chosen facts, while many other facts are left out.

This is not a productive way to discuss things, taking them out of context of current events. It only serves to enhance the emotional response attempted by the OP.

Compared to the riots that took place during that prior year, this incident is not worthy of spending much time and effort on, except perhaps to draw attention to the fact that those involved are being treated far worse than those involved in other riots across the country. As pointed out by other observers, it is questionable that the actions of the prosecuting authorities are within the law. The human rights violation aspect of the situation is a bigger story than continued spinning of what took place that day, as tragic as it was.

Since the editorial does not provide any new facts and relies on opinion based adjectives to project a conclusion, there really isn't much else to say: it is not news reporting. Great piece of fiction? Maybe the author wanted to be a action/adventure/fiction writer but got stuck at the nyt?

Obama's judges are violating the rights of the protestors----keeping them in jail, not giving them a speedy trial, put into isolation, not released on bond, and trying to destroy them no matter how weak of a case there is or how weak of a supposed crime that they committed. Seriously, putting a business owner in jail and trying to destroy her because she posted that she drank one of Pelosi's beers?

The players that the media are pushing are the worse of the worse and are more likely antifa or fbi or some other alphabet agents that were trying to instigate as they have done repeatedly before.

The only sad thing about the whole episode is the lot of them weren't shot.
They were redneck fascist idiots and deserved everything they get.

Bullshit. A wordy bit of nonsense.

Two things are NOT the same and one thing does not excuse another.

bless your heart,, youre trying so hard,,

how many of the 600 have been charged with insurrection??
shouldnt be hard for a smart guy like you to tell us,,

 

[meaner gene]

shouldnt be hard for a smart guy like you to tell us,,

Several years ago there was an anthrax attack that killed about 5 people. Nobody has been charged.

Yet it's still called a terrorist attack, with nobody charged with terrorism.

Yes. That's exactly what I would call that story the OP is asking to be discussed. For once you said something reasonable.

 

[progressive hunter]

so none of the 600 people have been charged with insurrection,, kinda sounds like it wasnt an insurrection to me,,

 

[Colin norris]

Spoken like a true fascist.

Do you really know what that word means? Trace the origins of who are fascists. Trump was the closest thing to fascism ever elected but you switch the emphasis to democrats as if they were responsible for smashing the capitol and attempting to over throw democracy.

I'll answer my original question for you.
No you don't. You're just another ignorant hate filled Republican idiot.

Actually none has been charged with insurrection "YET". You can't preclude such charges will never occur. Hence while calling it insurrection can be sustained.

I love when people say proof of something is based on no charges being filed. Like claiming that somebody didn't lie to congress because he was never charged.

Same difference.
