- Tazer...... and cable ties.... Not weapons for a government take over, you twit.
-
The Patriots at the Capitol were demonstrators.

Let's go for a twofer. A BOGO.
Respond to both with one single post.
First, let's agree that zip-ties & tazers signal the most elemental component of a violent insurrection ----
force.
Be it with a Glock17, a hockey stick, or a flagpole.......
force is what is being threatened. And employed.
I would suspect, tho I can't say deadsolidperfectly sure, but I do suspect that if I was, say, Representative Cheney, legally occupying a sacred space in our American democracy, and Liz sees some guy in body armor bearing down swinging a steel rod, or a yellow-pine 2x4, I'd feel somewhat persuaded that the guy means ill-will. Intends to force me..... against my will.
Anyway, that's how I think I would think if I was Liz Cheney in such a circumstance.

And then, finally, poster "Flash's" -
"Patriots" = "Demonstrators"
Yeah, OK. Let's go with that.
So, judging by the videos I have seen....surely more than a dozen.....it looked like poster Flash's "patriots" were beating the hell out of the police with rods, flagpoles, feet, fists, a crutch, mace, and so on.
Shux, I saw one 'patriot' grab a cop by his strapped-on helmet and drag him down a concrete stairway while Flash's "demonstrators" demonstrated how to kick and beat him ....all the while chanting that sure-fire "patriot" anthem: "
USA, USA, USA!"
Maybe we all can agree that Flash's "Patriot Demonstrators" = violent criminal attackers.
I think an argument can be made along those lines.
