Insurrection refers to an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government. It is a violent revolt against an oppressive authority. Insurrection is different from riots and offenses connected with mob violence. In insurrection there is an organized and armed uprising against authority or operations of government whereas riots and offenses connected with mob violence are simply unlawful acts in disturbance of the peace which do not threaten the stability of the government or the existence of political society.

So if the people of January 6th were insurrectionists, then where are the charges of insurrection upon detaining them?

Is it the first insurrection in world history that was conducted unarmed? Being armed is part of what makes it an insurrection.

And if it was organized, was it run by the Viking and the unarmed woman shot dead in the Capital?

Lastly, if these people murdered others, where are the murder charges?

Democrats are notorious for misusing terms, such as racist. When every political opponent is charged with being a racist, it tends to bastardize it's meaning.

Don't know. I use the dictionary definition, and it's as clear as day.

You can call it a "saxophone" if it makes you feel better. I don't care.
Since the law is charging these people we need to use their definition idiot.

Aw, you're getting upset.

For the fiftieth time, the insurrectionists are being charged with the various individual crimes they committed during the insurrection.

This really isn't that complicated.

I'm not sure why this has you people so worked up, but it's a hoot to watch.
 
So if the people of January 6th were insurrectionists, then where are the charges of insurrection upon detaining them?

The Govt goes for the charges they have the best chance of making stick. There is a reason that Al Capone was charged with tax evasion even though he did far worse
 
Sure, if you'd like. I just want you to be happy.
What kind of answer is that? Since when are definitions dictated by what someone likes? We also know that you dont want me to be happy, so i assume this is simply you copping out like a chump loser?

Couple of things. One can be armed with other things than guns. Bear spray, clubs can be employed as weapons. Those things were evident. It was organised, their was a rally beforehand, flyers were distributed beforehand, organisations were present. They went to the place the organisers of the rally wanted them to go. Lastly it was an attempt to prevent the certification of the duly elected president wich most definetly threatens the stability of the government and the political society. POLITICAL SOCIETY LITERALLY HAD TO FIRST BARRICADE THEMSELVES AND THEN RUN.

Your whole premise is simply that they didn't succeed and as such can not be defined a certain way. Guess what an insurrection remains an insurrection whether it succeeds or not.

You guys are very sensitive. I've explained this all above, as simply as I could.

I'd love to know why you guys are so triggered over the actual and clear dictionary definition of a word.

Plus, the individual rubes aren't important. They have to be punished for breaking laws, but it's very clear that they were not the instigators here. I'd guess most of the rubes were well-meaning in their own way, just badly misguided. If they hadn't gone that far on J6, they'd be just this side of victims.

To me, and I'd bet to the DoJ, this is about the seditionists - those who stoked the fires - not the rubes.

That day seems to be more and more of a quandry than we are being told by the government you love. Harris is good at reading the script she is given. Just like Kavanaugh and the pablum she spoke of yesterday with equating Jan. 6 to comparisons to real tragedies. Our freedom is over because to many government employees like the salaries and benefits they get with a percentage of them being sadists.
