Insurrection

[scook]

Here’s a test of your intellect - my patriotism is quite solid:

Yes, violent people broke into the capitol claiming to support Trump - no one here to my recollection has ever denied or made excuses for that. You don’t seem able to separate the vast majority of people at the demonstration, and even a good number who entered the capitol, who were not violent.

I’m not at all convinced that “threats” to hang Mike Pence were more than the “I’m going to kill you” that people often say in anger with no intention of actually doing it, but neither you nor I know that. Evidence of that might come to light in an honest investigation, on the very long chance that one is conducted.

HERES SCOOK trying to minimize the historic , violent attack on our Capitol, insurrection attempt injuring over 140 of our police ,and threats to kill our Vice President .

Threatening the president of the United States and the Vice President is a federal felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871.The law also includes former presidents .
Breaking and entering our Capitol is also illegal .
Attacking and injuring our police is also illegal .

You cant threaten the Vice President and escape the law by saying you didnt really mean it that way.

Over 700 thats SEVEN HUNDRED people have been charged - sounds like you want to be one of them so go on call our Capitol Police and tell them what you think.

There you go again, making a fool of yourself again. I’m not minimizing anything, but unlike you, I’m not cataphrophizing and convicting people without due process. If they’re found guilty, they’ll get sentenced.

I would expect a LOT of people to be charged with this highly politicized, dishonest, politically desperate administration. Of course, that’s all lost on you.
