SCOTUS stops the election interference....cold!

On January 6 the insurrectionists were found to be armed with a variety of weapons including a gun, baseball bats, chemical sprays, a police officer’s riot shield, a crowbar, fire extinguishers, a wooden club, a spear, crutches, a stun gun, a wooden beam, a hockey stick, knives, batons, and a metal flagpole.

They also had gas masks, body armor and tactical gear, radios, and zip ties.
Other weapons may have been present but not everyone was searched.

Before and after the storming of the building 12 firearms were seized including a Tavor X95 assault weapon, a loaded shotgun, a loaded pistol, thousands of rounds of ammunition, machetes, a crossbow with bolts, smoke bombs, another stun gun, 2 pipe bombs, and 11 Molotov cocktails.

Stuart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers, planned the attack through encrypted messages, non digital means, surveillance, and weapon storage in Alexandria. They met with the Proud Boys on Jan. 3 to coordinate. On Jan. 6 the Oath Keepers attacked the building in two tactical "stacks" with a German Shepard.

We were lucky that more people weren't killed as they were planning to hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.
“They’re criminals. They need to hang,” she (Pauline Bauer) screamed. “Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang (her). Bring her out.”

 

I'll reply, if you don't mind...
The occurrence on January 6th at the capitol building was an armed attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power by capturing and killing duly elected officials of the U.S. government and by disrupting the transfer of power to a new president of the United States by storming the building thus forcing an evacuation of the Senate and House chambers when they came under armed attack.

Parts of the attempt were planned by treasonous citizens and parts were due to a riot by those protesting against a peaceful transfer of power and who were instigated to riot and storm the building by Donald Trump and his followers, who I might add, were also committing acts of treason.

 

Are you contesting that weapons were present at the Jan. 6 insurrection?

Assault weapon is a legal term applied to certain non auto firing weapons, rifles, shotguns, and pistols.
I said nothing about full automatic weapons.

Are you saying a Tavor X95 assault weapon can't kill people? Or that you would choose something else?

Stuart Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy, that is conspiring to overthrow, put down, or destroy the Government of the United States by force. He got 18 years. I would say he was a threat.

Are you excusing his, and others, attempt to overthrow our government becasue they were inapt in your view?

 

Seems to me they had the motive, as you say, the overthrow of the government.

They had the means as they did temporally stop the transfer of power and they did gain access to both chambers of Congress as well as various offices and other areas of the building. One individual had to be shot and killed to prevent an attack on members of the House of Representatives before they could evacuate.

And they obviously had the opportunity as they did it.

Treason is the betrayal of allegiance toward one's own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.
Benedict Arnold was treasonous even though he never stormed the capitol nor threatened to hang the vice president nor the speaker of the house.

You don't believe ANY federal elected officials have the best interests of their citizens at heart? Really? You don't support any elected federal official? I assume you don't vote in any federal elections, nor subscribe to any federal laws, as they are passed by federal elected officials.
Have you always thought that way? You have never supported our federal government?

 

Okay let me understand. Are you telling me that you don't think a baseball bat, for example, can be used as a weapon?
What is your definition of a weapon?

Second, are you telling me that as these people didn't assault the capitol building with an M1A2 Abrams main battle tank, no insurrection occurred?

Third, why does a legal term for a type of weapon demonstrate the ignorance or dishonesty of our legislators???

Fourth, again, are you saying that pitch forks and shovels can't be used to attack a government building? Are you trying to argue that because these people weren't properly armed, in your opinion, that no insurrection occurred? The building wasn't attacked, the peaceful transfer of power wasn't interrupted, no lives were in danger, and the building should not have been evacuated? The House and Senate members should have remained seated in their chambers?
In short are you telling us that nothing happened because these people weren't properly armed?

Fourth what is lawfare?

 

So you don't vote, you don't support any elected federal official at all, and you don't subscribe to any federal laws. Interesting.
What is this "reality" that caused you to deny the legitimacy of the entire Constitutional system of the American government?

I also hope they gave that man a medal. He stopped the rioters and insurrectionists from entering the unevacuated Speaker's Lobby and killing or injuring a number of people. She was warned that a gun was pointed at her, she was told to retreat but she didn't and she started to climb through the window.

In fact all of the defenders of the capitol building and the peaceful transfer of power on that day should have gotten a medal.
And as I watched that day unfold in real time, I wondered why the building wasn't defended more aggressively.
Firearms should have been discharged at the interlopers the second they breached those windows.
In fact how did they know those windows were unreinforced? They ran past 15 reinforced windows to attack two windows and two unreinforced doors. How did they know those areas hadn't been upgraded?

Sounds like an inside job and advanced planning to me.
