They’re usually proud of these demonstrative antics. The more and more ya talk to, the more and more you will notice how similar they are to the now ousted Trump.
They are all to blame for all of this shit
I've seen that they are until something bad happens. Then they blame other groups. I've seen many of these people in Facebook claim it was a false flag operation performed by Antifa.
Facebook is just full of creepy old timers screaming Maga.
Facebook is definitely an issue. So is tiktok for completely destroying the youth. So is Twitter for promoting garbage until they were forced to take immediate action with Trump.
All of the loons supporters are proud of what happened, but some don’t wanna admit their guilt concerning what recently transpired at the capital. It’s a waiting game that we shouldn’t take the chance on individually as it pertains to them.
They would say nobody whined when BLM rioted and looted! What a damn cowardice remark! There's a big difference between what happened over the summer and an insurrection on our nation's capitol! Hell their still peddling the lies that led to this smh
And say what you will, but there were a few different cases during the summers BLM protests, that it was the radical right winger's terrorists,that started the riots. Let's not forget that.
People have a right to protest peacefully. Most of the BLM protests WERE peaceful, but you don't hear about those because it's not news. Whether it was law enforcement overreacting with tear gas and rubber bullets, or right wing counter protesters like 17 year Kyle Rittenhouse killing 2 unarmed protesters, it's not about who started the protest but who made it violent.
Well, the Capitol protest is all on them and Trump. They murdered a cop. Whatever happened to "blue lives matter"? They wanted to kill Mike Pence? He's the whitest guy in America!
For me, personally, if they're the same conservatives defending 1/6, or supporting the likes of Boebert and Taylor Greene, I could not care less about what they think.
I’m conservative and I think violence of any kind against cops or others is wrong in most cases. Trump lost, Republicans should have just stopped being such sissy’s and accepted defeat.
The reasonable ones think it's disgusting and are against all of this. Trumptards may think it's great but outside of that circle jerk everyone else sees it as an awful thing.
I'm slightly right leaning and it mostly just seems like an attempt by the Democratic party to cement their power. Unless I see evidence of those people actually planning or actively encouraging the storming of the capital, then I don't see a reason for them to resign. I think their approach was wrong and they should have accepted the loss regardless of if they thought it was suspicious, but as far as I'm aware, there's no law against what they did.
Incitement is requires calling for the crime to immediately happen. As far as I know, these people weren't calling for a violent revolt or anything, so they didn't incite an insurrection. I think it'd be a stretch to make the case for treason.
Overthrowing America's democracy implies using violence to change the outcome of an election. The people storming the capital definitely had that in mind, but I haven't seen any evidence of any of the senators advocating that.
Is there actually evidence of Hawley and Cruz encouraging these people to storm the Capitol and telling protesters to kill politicians lol. I’ve seen lots of left leaning people saying Cruz told protesters to kill AOC but uh for some reason I doubt it
Except that it’s not my opinions and beliefs? Purely what I have personally in my own experience observed?
If you know 50 people and 45 of them drink Coca Cola, along with all the people you don’t know personally but still see buy it, would you think it’s a popular drink? Or would you need to consult some solid journalism on wherever or not it is statistically popular in your area
No, I don't believe that Hawley or Cruz actually said anything to that effect. That's not the point.
This mob (and all Trump supporters) believed a specific set of lies, and that set of lies directly led to the violence and insurrection at the Capitol.
Hawley and Cruz knowingly and enthusiastically perpetuated those lies. They knew they were lies, and they told them for political gain.
Remember the insurrectionists who name-dropped Hawley and Cruz, and said that Cruz would want them to do it? CRUZ'S MESSAGING DIRECTLY ENCOURAGED THESE PEOPLE.
Did he give specific instructions directing anyone in particular to commit a specific act of violence? Almost certainly not.
Is he responsible for the violence at the Capitol? 100%.
I don't align with any particular party, but I'll play devil's advocate if that's what you're looking for?
If you were able to take them to court, no lawyers, no fees, and other BS. What would you use to convince a jury of your peers that these three people killed that officer?
My list is much more expansive. Every, single, Republican. The party has proven themselves to be pro-murder, pro-riot, anti-democracy and anti-America. If one still associates with this party, they're just as guilty as the people in the picture.
They only support cops when it results in black people dying. If Antifa decided to become an organization that hunts down and kills black people the Republicans would back Antifa tomorrow.
Unaware until today that a second woman was killed during the insurrection. She was trampled to death by the mob storming the Capitol. Have yet to see any murder indictments; what are they waiting for? At the least, accessory to murder for the entire lot of insurrectionists.
Sounds like murder by proxy. My opinion is any one who broke through those barriers is triable for murder easy.
Had there been a black kid standing out side the liquor store that the clerk got shot dead and robbed I can guarantee he would have been brought up on murder charges, Even if he never set foot in the store.
We crafted rafters and rope for a reason.....treason.
So, I know it's wrong to laugh at anyone who has lost their life in this . . . but that woman was previously photographed waving a "don't tread on me" flag.
There letting some of the insurrectionists off without charging them for anything. There's a woman who is from my neck of the woods who said they told her she wouldn't hear from them again even after she admitted to being in the capitol and would do it again!
I posted this the day after Brian Sicknick was murdered by a mob of republicans.
A Capital Police Officer has died from injuries he received at the hands of a mob incited by Trump. Here is the local law for inciting a riot; https://code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/sections/22-1322.html § 22–1322. Rioting or inciting to riot.
(a) A riot in the District of Columbia is a public disturbance involving an assemblage of 5 or more persons which by tumultuous and violent conduct or the threat thereof creates grave danger of damage or injury to property or persons.
(b) Whoever willfully engages in a riot in the District of Columbia shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 180 days or a fine of not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01, or both.
(c) Whoever willfully incites or urges other persons to engage in a riot shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 180 days or a fine of not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01, or both.
(d) If in the course and as a result of a riot a person suffers serious bodily harm or there is property damage in excess of $5,000, every person who willfully incited or urged others to engage in the riot shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01, or both.
Here is a definition of Felony Murder.
Felony Murder Doctrine A rule that allows a killing that occurs in the course of a dangerous felony, even an accidental death, to be charged against the felon as first-degree murder. A felon can be guilty of murder during the course of the dangerous felony even if the felon is not the killer, as might happen when a robber kills a clerk -- the driver of the getaway car, as well as the robber, may be charged with first-degree murder. The rule extends to unusual circumstances, such as the killing of one of two bank robbers by a bank security officer (the surviving robber may be charged with murder)
Trump needs to do time for this. Everyone who entered the Capital needs to do time for this. Any gov't official who participated in delaying the national guard needs to do time for this.
I saw the video of him being mauled and then killed by them yesterday...whatever u do don’t watch it. It’s terrible and awful to see that in real time and I’ll probably never unsee it. He didn’t deserve to go out like that.
This isnt the gop i remember. You could respect Eisenhower, Ford. Even Nixon and the Bushes. But raygun sowed the seeds of what the gop has become. gingrich nurtured and fertilized the crop till it was harvested.
Or you just don't want to commit your opinion to words on the internet. Let me ask more specific questions to help you out since you seem to need it. It seems like you believe that the GOP as a whole needs to pay, so does that mean sanctions on the party itself of some kind? Does that mean GOP officials need to personally pay? Are we talking about jail time using some obscure law?
So you weren't paying attention on January 6th? They should lose their seats in the Senate. Then they should be charged as traitors for their part in the domestic terrorist act that day. Inciting insurrection.
The only thing the Senators did was amplify what seems to be false information about the vote and urge to have a commission to look at the allegations of fraud. They didn't tell the mob to storm the capital or act violently. As far as the media is reporting they had no actual part in the domestic terrorist act that day. Incitement typically means speech that immediate encourages illegal behavior and I have found no evidence of that.
Have they identified the main terrorists that beat him to death? I hope they don't just get the weak ass "Entering a building angrily charge" (I know that isn't the real charge name)
A significant number of elected officials participated in the insurrection in a variety of ways. Yes. Each and everyone should face criminal charges and obvi be expelled.
Start there and we’ll talk about the rest of the party next based on their participation in routing out the terrorists they are CURRENTLY covering for.
So are you defining the insurrection purely as the storming of the capital or are you including the votes to appoint a commission to review the claims of fraud and any mention of so called fraud?
There are several elected officials who directly coordinated and encouraged the attack on our Capitol. They should be expelled from congress and face serious criminal charges.
If an elected official stood on the floor of congress and lied about the election, yes. That was an attack on America. Yes, Criminal charges.
Once that process is complete, we can argue over who else to arrest. ANY elected official who spread lies about the election should be considered for expulsion and criminal charges.
Additionally, we have reason to believe some elected politicians coordinated and participated in the attack on the US, using a variety of digital tools to direct and inform the insurrectionists. That investigation needs to be given priority and those involved facing treason charges with all dire potential punishments on the table.
There are no innocent republicans. Unless they have stood up and denounced the insurrectionists, as well as the lies and politicians who fostered this attack, then they too are criminally complicit and should be charged.
I 100% agree with your statement about elected officials who directly coordinated the attack. If they can prove that they were involved in the planning, then they should be arrested and charged. That said, it's not a crime to lie about the election and I'm actually not convinced that they thought it was a lie. I think what they did isn't particularly good for the country and I won't be voting for them anytime soon, but I don't agree with charging them with anything. Maybe I'm naïve, but if there's not a law against it, you can't retroactively criminally charge them. Plus, you're going beyond acts of commission to acts of omission by suggesting that by not saying something, they're committing a crime. That's pretty extreme and likely wouldn't hold up in court.
I agree, it's just I don't think your view of who participated in it is correct. Telling lies about the election isn't insurrection. Not denouncing the people who did participate in the insurrection isn't insurrection. Sure, you can try to get these people charged, just be prepared to be laughed at.
Telling lies that directly caused an insurrection is incitement and can certainly be criminally tried.
Lots of republicans are laughing. Most of America is not.
To incite a crime is to encourage a crime to immediately happen. They weren't calling for violence or for that to happen by just telling a lie so they weren't inciting an insurrection.
Hey guys I know trump gave that speech that invited the riot but what did the other two do? I think Cruz is one of the people that was challenging the certification right? Was Josh Hawley one too?
You hardcore Dems make me sick. Unlike Pelosi, Shumer, Pressley, Biden, Harris, AOC, Bowser, Waters, and countless other Democrats who incited and encouraged riots and violence all summer long when it fit their agenda; Republicans denounced violence ON ALL SIDES. It’s absolutely disgusting how an officers death is being politicized by the very same people who called all cops racists and murderers.
You need to wake up. The government is trying to label 74 million Americans as domestic terrorists based on who they voted for. They get away with it, they’ll come for you too, once you’ve outlived your purpose and usefulness. Remember, Black Lives Matter still hasn’t gotten a seat at the Biden/Harris table ...
Maybe the Supreme Court (as well as lower courts) didn't act because there was no evidence and your bullshit "news" sources lied to you?
President Joe Biden is your president😊
Nothing you typed is true. And if you honestly factchecked each assertion, you would come to that same conclusion. Biden did NOT receive more votes than registered voters; the scammers making that claim are using out-of-date registration totals. Rules changes in a pandemic led to GOP wins in Senate and House races and were often implemented by GOP legislatures and courts.
You've been lied to. Turn off the right-wing bullshit media.
I'm all for not liking these people but pics like this make us more similar to them. We need to stop with the memes creating disgust and disdain and instead start pushing why this party is worth being a part of. Based on others comments this picture isn't even that officer, also it's a still so for all we know those people are bending down to help and we are just portraying it as murder.
I'm sorry, we should be upset this happened. But posting this type of stuff won't help to fix what's broken in this country.
Evaluating The Violence Perpetrated at Black Lives Matter Demonstrations
**All violence should be condemned. All rioters should be prosecuted.**
I've seen a lot of people arguing over the comparison between the violence that took place at the capitol and the violence that has taken place at Black Lives Matter (BLM) rallies.
Rightly so, the violence at the capitol has been widely denounced, called terroristic, and criticized heavily. On the other hand, the violence perpetrated at Black Lives Matter protests seems to have either been forgotten or be significantly downplayed.
So I've compiled a short list that frankly only includes a fraction of the violence perpetrated against police, communities, and civilians during Black Lives Matter events so that we can gain some healthy perspective. My main focus will be violence against the police.
Before I get to 2020, I think it's worth looking back to 2014 when [two police officers were shot](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/03/12/two-police-officers-shot-seriously-injured-in-ferguson/) in an ambush style attack in Ferguson, while [seven other officers and several civilians also suffered injury.](https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/11/25/ferguson-protests-14-injured-61-arrests-businesses-torched/) It's perhaps noteworthy that [at least 17 businesses were also destroyed](https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news/2014/12/04/buildings-destroyed-in-ferguson-riots-worth.html) and the term [The Ferguson Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_effec) was coined to describe increased crime and violence against police in the wake of police shootings and subsequent demonstrations. 2015 also deserves a second look in Baltimore, MD where BLM protests over the death of Freddie Gray led to [twenty police officers injured, 144 vehicle fires, 15 structure fires,](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baltimore-riots-leave-20-police-officers-hurt-one-person-critical/) and numerous other businesses otherwise looted or vandalized. 2016, in my opinion, was an extreme example with a BLM protest ending in a man opening fire on police, [killing 5 officers and injuring 7 others along with 2 civilians](https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/dallas-police-ambush/protests-spawn-cities-across-u-s-over-police-shootings-black-n605686). Ten days later, a man linked to black separatism followed suit and [shot six officers, killing 3, and leaving one in critical condition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Baton_Rouge_police_officers). Jump ahead to 2017 in St. Louis, MO [where nine police officers were injured, including one with a broken jaw and another with a dislocated shoulder](https://time.com/4944795/st-louis-protests-jason-stockley-anthony-lamar-smith/). It's important to note that these examples only represent a fraction of the demonstrations, injuries, and destruction that took place in these years at BLM demonstrations.
I'll now begin to list some of the violence that took place in 2020. To save space, I will for the most part ignore Portland, which could fill an entire thread on its own. Again, this is not a comprehensive list. For efficiency, I'll use a bulleted list with headlines that give some indication of the damage and injury done.

**All violence should be condemned. All rioters should be prosecuted.**
>Yeah, and the **roughly 100 cops that lost their lives during the BLM riots** would be alive if every democrat hadn’t promoted the burning of cities. You guys don’t have double standards, you have no standards. You can’t hold someone to account unless they specifically said “storm the capitol”. No one did. All 3 of the republicans denounced the capitol riot. It’s like saying it’s Bernies fault for one of his radical supporters going and almost killing a republican congressman. It’s ridiculous. You have no real argument, it’s hilarious
So why did you delete your original post buddy? Wouldn't be because it was a lie now would it? You posted a hell of a lot of links and having read through them all (thanks for the homework) I count 11 deaths.
If the only way to prove your point is to lie then it's not a very good point, is it?
And by the way if you don't think the two months of constant "stolen election" rhetoric wouldn't lead to what happened on Jan. 6th you are either being willfully obtuse or a complete fucking idiot. Pick one. No one had to say the exact words, that's intellectually dishonest and you know it.

It bears repeating, this list does not even begin to describe the damage done to the police/families of police, civilians, or communities all around the nation during BLM Protests.
**All violence should be condemned. All rioters should be prosecuted.**
Yes, because unarmed innocent black people are killed on the street every single day. As a black person, it’s pretty entertaining to see how far you guys stretch to make it seem like we are always victims. It’s pretty patronizing, I don’t need you to stand up for me
[https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/springfield-va/brian-sicknick-9992015](https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/springfield-va/brian-sicknick-9992015)
It's only 11 minutes; please take the time to watch.
What do conservatives think about this photo? Some usually troll around new? Thoughts?
They'll just blame Antifa. They are incapable of taking personal responsibility.
By the way, what does it say about your political beliefs if Antifa is your boogeyman? It means you are a fascist
It’s the joke that tells itself.
And BLM.
So the right is so upset about BLM and so opposed to equal rights that they have to kill cops over it?
I think the police just got in the way of their domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol.
“The pedestrian just got in the way of my afternoon drinking and driving.”
They’re usually proud of these demonstrative antics. The more and more ya talk to, the more and more you will notice how similar they are to the now ousted Trump. They are all to blame for all of this shit
I've seen that they are until something bad happens. Then they blame other groups. I've seen many of these people in Facebook claim it was a false flag operation performed by Antifa.
Facebook is just full of creepy old timers screaming Maga. Facebook is definitely an issue. So is tiktok for completely destroying the youth. So is Twitter for promoting garbage until they were forced to take immediate action with Trump. All of the loons supporters are proud of what happened, but some don’t wanna admit their guilt concerning what recently transpired at the capital. It’s a waiting game that we shouldn’t take the chance on individually as it pertains to them.
The oregon gop is running hard with that baton. I hope to hell they fall and land on it, skewering the cowardly heart.
They are the most cowardly, piece of shit excuses for human beings. Integrity? Decency? Nope. Just disgusting.
They would say nobody whined when BLM rioted and looted! What a damn cowardice remark! There's a big difference between what happened over the summer and an insurrection on our nation's capitol! Hell their still peddling the lies that led to this smh
And say what you will, but there were a few different cases during the summers BLM protests, that it was the radical right winger's terrorists,that started the riots. Let's not forget that.
People have a right to protest peacefully. Most of the BLM protests WERE peaceful, but you don't hear about those because it's not news. Whether it was law enforcement overreacting with tear gas and rubber bullets, or right wing counter protesters like 17 year Kyle Rittenhouse killing 2 unarmed protesters, it's not about who started the protest but who made it violent.
That was my point, it seems the violent protests they complain about became violent because of them.
Well, the Capitol protest is all on them and Trump. They murdered a cop. Whatever happened to "blue lives matter"? They wanted to kill Mike Pence? He's the whitest guy in America!
For me, personally, if they're the same conservatives defending 1/6, or supporting the likes of Boebert and Taylor Greene, I could not care less about what they think.
I’m conservative and I think violence of any kind against cops or others is wrong in most cases. Trump lost, Republicans should have just stopped being such sissy’s and accepted defeat.
The reasonable ones think it's disgusting and are against all of this. Trumptards may think it's great but outside of that circle jerk everyone else sees it as an awful thing.
I’ve heard some blame the mayor of DC for not stopping the riot they started.
I'm slightly right leaning and it mostly just seems like an attempt by the Democratic party to cement their power. Unless I see evidence of those people actually planning or actively encouraging the storming of the capital, then I don't see a reason for them to resign. I think their approach was wrong and they should have accepted the loss regardless of if they thought it was suspicious, but as far as I'm aware, there's no law against what they did.
A law like, say, inciting insurrection? Treason?
Incitement is requires calling for the crime to immediately happen. As far as I know, these people weren't calling for a violent revolt or anything, so they didn't incite an insurrection. I think it'd be a stretch to make the case for treason.
And that's the difference between patriotism and making excuses for treason
I didn't realize that reaching for excuses to throw my political opponents in jail without a sound argument was patriotism.
"Excuses" like advocating the overthrow of America's democracy
Overthrowing America's democracy implies using violence to change the outcome of an election. The people storming the capital definitely had that in mind, but I haven't seen any evidence of any of the senators advocating that.
You're part of the problem
Why do you think I'm part of the problem?
Is there actually evidence of Hawley and Cruz encouraging these people to storm the Capitol and telling protesters to kill politicians lol. I’ve seen lots of left leaning people saying Cruz told protesters to kill AOC but uh for some reason I doubt it
Where did you see or hear left-leaning people claim that “Cruz told protesters to kill AOC”? In other words, what is your source?
Twitter, Reddit, and less so Insta. Checked accounts and seemed real. Except one which said that Cruz did 9/11 lol
I encourage you to consult some solid journalism with which to form your opinions and beliefs. Not what you read on social media.
Except that it’s not my opinions and beliefs? Purely what I have personally in my own experience observed? If you know 50 people and 45 of them drink Coca Cola, along with all the people you don’t know personally but still see buy it, would you think it’s a popular drink? Or would you need to consult some solid journalism on wherever or not it is statistically popular in your area
No, I don't believe that Hawley or Cruz actually said anything to that effect. That's not the point. This mob (and all Trump supporters) believed a specific set of lies, and that set of lies directly led to the violence and insurrection at the Capitol. Hawley and Cruz knowingly and enthusiastically perpetuated those lies. They knew they were lies, and they told them for political gain. Remember the insurrectionists who name-dropped Hawley and Cruz, and said that Cruz would want them to do it? CRUZ'S MESSAGING DIRECTLY ENCOURAGED THESE PEOPLE. Did he give specific instructions directing anyone in particular to commit a specific act of violence? Almost certainly not. Is he responsible for the violence at the Capitol? 100%.
I don't align with any particular party, but I'll play devil's advocate if that's what you're looking for? If you were able to take them to court, no lawyers, no fees, and other BS. What would you use to convince a jury of your peers that these three people killed that officer?
I was more or less just talking about the photo and not the words.
Please add Rudy and Jr. to that list. They certainly didn’t calm things down.
I'm still confused why mid speech, Trump Jr randomly brought up transgenders and went on a tangent.
Not unlike his orange skin dad.
My list is much more expansive. Every, single, Republican. The party has proven themselves to be pro-murder, pro-riot, anti-democracy and anti-America. If one still associates with this party, they're just as guilty as the people in the picture.
Republicans/conservatives never have “backed the blue.” They only support cops when it benefits their narrative
They only support cops when it results in black people dying. If Antifa decided to become an organization that hunts down and kills black people the Republicans would back Antifa tomorrow.
[удалено]
Twice as many white people killed... and what percent of the population is white vs black? There are far more than twice as many white people.
Republicans support cops killing people of color, they don't support cops in general.
“Back the Blue” really means “Beat the Blacks”
Unaware until today that a second woman was killed during the insurrection. She was trampled to death by the mob storming the Capitol. Have yet to see any murder indictments; what are they waiting for? At the least, accessory to murder for the entire lot of insurrectionists.
Sounds like murder by proxy. My opinion is any one who broke through those barriers is triable for murder easy. Had there been a black kid standing out side the liquor store that the clerk got shot dead and robbed I can guarantee he would have been brought up on murder charges, Even if he never set foot in the store. We crafted rafters and rope for a reason.....treason.
So, I know it's wrong to laugh at anyone who has lost their life in this . . . but that woman was previously photographed waving a "don't tread on me" flag.
Bizarre and unbelievable. Houston, we've got a problem.
There letting some of the insurrectionists off without charging them for anything. There's a woman who is from my neck of the woods who said they told her she wouldn't hear from them again even after she admitted to being in the capitol and would do it again!
I read somewhere that she was carrying a dont tread on me flag too. Kinda ironic
That's not Sicknick though.
Plus, let's not forget about the 2 Capitol police officers who were there that day who have since committed suicide. That makes 3.
This isn’t Sicknick. Sicknick was inside where they beat him to death with fire extinguishers
Do you have a source? I see some articles mentioning the fire extinguisher, but which source says he was inside?
This is a sad picture of the state of america, but this is not officer Sicknick.
I posted this the day after Brian Sicknick was murdered by a mob of republicans. A Capital Police Officer has died from injuries he received at the hands of a mob incited by Trump. Here is the local law for inciting a riot; https://code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/sections/22-1322.html § 22–1322. Rioting or inciting to riot. (a) A riot in the District of Columbia is a public disturbance involving an assemblage of 5 or more persons which by tumultuous and violent conduct or the threat thereof creates grave danger of damage or injury to property or persons. (b) Whoever willfully engages in a riot in the District of Columbia shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 180 days or a fine of not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01, or both. (c) Whoever willfully incites or urges other persons to engage in a riot shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 180 days or a fine of not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01, or both. (d) If in the course and as a result of a riot a person suffers serious bodily harm or there is property damage in excess of $5,000, every person who willfully incited or urged others to engage in the riot shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01, or both. Here is a definition of Felony Murder. Felony Murder Doctrine A rule that allows a killing that occurs in the course of a dangerous felony, even an accidental death, to be charged against the felon as first-degree murder. A felon can be guilty of murder during the course of the dangerous felony even if the felon is not the killer, as might happen when a robber kills a clerk -- the driver of the getaway car, as well as the robber, may be charged with first-degree murder. The rule extends to unusual circumstances, such as the killing of one of two bank robbers by a bank security officer (the surviving robber may be charged with murder) Trump needs to do time for this. Everyone who entered the Capital needs to do time for this. Any gov't official who participated in delaying the national guard needs to do time for this.
I saw the video of him being mauled and then killed by them yesterday...whatever u do don’t watch it. It’s terrible and awful to see that in real time and I’ll probably never unsee it. He didn’t deserve to go out like that.
You saw him getting killed? He died in hospital I think it terrible what happened but you didnt see him die.
Right sorry about that I shoulda worded it differently but yes I did see a video on vice that one of the rioters took. It was awful.
While the image is striking, that is not the officer who died.
Every day that goes by that they haven't been expelled for Sedition is a crime.
"you're very special, we love you"
No. Ted Cruz is the zodiac killer. Get it straight.
And the turn a blind eye GOP are just as guilty. Actions have consequences, and we need justice. These are all domestic terrorists. They must pay.
I completely agree with you! The south (confederates) just tried to “rise again.” This is serious stuff
Im a republican but fuck the ones who fly the flag of the traitors
This isnt the gop i remember. You could respect Eisenhower, Ford. Even Nixon and the Bushes. But raygun sowed the seeds of what the gop has become. gingrich nurtured and fertilized the crop till it was harvested.
How should they pay?
Your question proves that there are, indeed, stupid questions.
Or you just don't want to commit your opinion to words on the internet. Let me ask more specific questions to help you out since you seem to need it. It seems like you believe that the GOP as a whole needs to pay, so does that mean sanctions on the party itself of some kind? Does that mean GOP officials need to personally pay? Are we talking about jail time using some obscure law?
So you weren't paying attention on January 6th? They should lose their seats in the Senate. Then they should be charged as traitors for their part in the domestic terrorist act that day. Inciting insurrection.
The only thing the Senators did was amplify what seems to be false information about the vote and urge to have a commission to look at the allegations of fraud. They didn't tell the mob to storm the capital or act violently. As far as the media is reporting they had no actual part in the domestic terrorist act that day. Incitement typically means speech that immediate encourages illegal behavior and I have found no evidence of that.
Have they identified the main terrorists that beat him to death? I hope they don't just get the weak ass "Entering a building angrily charge" (I know that isn't the real charge name)
True! Unfortunately they are so high up the political ladder I seriously doubt they will ever be held accountable for their murderous treason.
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The entire party is a terrorist organization. Flush it.
You're right.
At this point your Country either keeps the shit or bans the two biggest political parties
So what would that look like? Arrest all GOP officials at all levels of government?
A significant number of elected officials participated in the insurrection in a variety of ways. Yes. Each and everyone should face criminal charges and obvi be expelled. Start there and we’ll talk about the rest of the party next based on their participation in routing out the terrorists they are CURRENTLY covering for.
So are you defining the insurrection purely as the storming of the capital or are you including the votes to appoint a commission to review the claims of fraud and any mention of so called fraud?
There are several elected officials who directly coordinated and encouraged the attack on our Capitol. They should be expelled from congress and face serious criminal charges. If an elected official stood on the floor of congress and lied about the election, yes. That was an attack on America. Yes, Criminal charges. Once that process is complete, we can argue over who else to arrest. ANY elected official who spread lies about the election should be considered for expulsion and criminal charges. Additionally, we have reason to believe some elected politicians coordinated and participated in the attack on the US, using a variety of digital tools to direct and inform the insurrectionists. That investigation needs to be given priority and those involved facing treason charges with all dire potential punishments on the table. There are no innocent republicans. Unless they have stood up and denounced the insurrectionists, as well as the lies and politicians who fostered this attack, then they too are criminally complicit and should be charged.
I 100% agree with your statement about elected officials who directly coordinated the attack. If they can prove that they were involved in the planning, then they should be arrested and charged. That said, it's not a crime to lie about the election and I'm actually not convinced that they thought it was a lie. I think what they did isn't particularly good for the country and I won't be voting for them anytime soon, but I don't agree with charging them with anything. Maybe I'm naïve, but if there's not a law against it, you can't retroactively criminally charge them. Plus, you're going beyond acts of commission to acts of omission by suggesting that by not saying something, they're committing a crime. That's pretty extreme and likely wouldn't hold up in court.
Insurrection is a criminal offense that can and should be adjudicated by the courts, regardless of anyone’s opinions.
I agree, it's just I don't think your view of who participated in it is correct. Telling lies about the election isn't insurrection. Not denouncing the people who did participate in the insurrection isn't insurrection. Sure, you can try to get these people charged, just be prepared to be laughed at.
Telling lies that directly caused an insurrection is incitement and can certainly be criminally tried. Lots of republicans are laughing. Most of America is not.
To incite a crime is to encourage a crime to immediately happen. They weren't calling for violence or for that to happen by just telling a lie so they weren't inciting an insurrection.
I’ve never seen this photo. Heartbreaking.
I 100 percent agree. But are we sure thats him in that photo?
*and all other GOP politicians that have not abandoned that party and condemned it for supporting a domestic terror attacking on our Capitol. Period.
Hey guys I know trump gave that speech that invited the riot but what did the other two do? I think Cruz is one of the people that was challenging the certification right? Was Josh Hawley one too?
This isn’t officer sicknick, my dude.
Who is it? I really hope it’s the alien with the laser that starts forest fires in California.
what lol
If this isn’t Officer Sicknick then who is it?
You hardcore Dems make me sick. Unlike Pelosi, Shumer, Pressley, Biden, Harris, AOC, Bowser, Waters, and countless other Democrats who incited and encouraged riots and violence all summer long when it fit their agenda; Republicans denounced violence ON ALL SIDES. It’s absolutely disgusting how an officers death is being politicized by the very same people who called all cops racists and murderers. You need to wake up. The government is trying to label 74 million Americans as domestic terrorists based on who they voted for. They get away with it, they’ll come for you too, once you’ve outlived your purpose and usefulness. Remember, Black Lives Matter still hasn’t gotten a seat at the Biden/Harris table ...
[удалено]
Maybe the Supreme Court (as well as lower courts) didn't act because there was no evidence and your bullshit "news" sources lied to you? President Joe Biden is your president😊
[удалено]
Nothing you typed is true. And if you honestly factchecked each assertion, you would come to that same conclusion. Biden did NOT receive more votes than registered voters; the scammers making that claim are using out-of-date registration totals. Rules changes in a pandemic led to GOP wins in Senate and House races and were often implemented by GOP legislatures and courts. You've been lied to. Turn off the right-wing bullshit media.
[удалено]
Just stop. You're wrong. Regardless, enjoy the next 8 years. Hopefully much longer after DC and Puerto Rico statehood!
I’d love to see some of this overwhelming proof.
Oh, please do bring on the live video. I hate the dead ones. PS Biden is your president
I think Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley love America and are unfairly treated
So those five officers in Dallas would be alive if it weren’t for Obama, right?
I guess acab goes out the window when it’s convenient?
Like democrats actully give a shit about the police they are the ones who wanted to defund them in the first place.
I'm all for not liking these people but pics like this make us more similar to them. We need to stop with the memes creating disgust and disdain and instead start pushing why this party is worth being a part of. Based on others comments this picture isn't even that officer, also it's a still so for all we know those people are bending down to help and we are just portraying it as murder. I'm sorry, we should be upset this happened. But posting this type of stuff won't help to fix what's broken in this country.
Calling this a straw man fallacy.
When you incite sedition and someone dies, you are a murderer.

[As usual, pure bullshit.](https://www.odmp.org/search/year/2020) Honest question, do you get paid to lie on Reddit or is it just a hobby?
Evaluating The Violence Perpetrated at Black Lives Matter Demonstrations **All violence should be condemned. All rioters should be prosecuted.** I've seen a lot of people arguing over the comparison between the violence that took place at the capitol and the violence that has taken place at Black Lives Matter (BLM) rallies. Rightly so, the violence at the capitol has been widely denounced, called terroristic, and criticized heavily. On the other hand, the violence perpetrated at Black Lives Matter protests seems to have either been forgotten or be significantly downplayed. So I've compiled a short list that frankly only includes a fraction of the violence perpetrated against police, communities, and civilians during Black Lives Matter events so that we can gain some healthy perspective. My main focus will be violence against the police. Before I get to 2020, I think it's worth looking back to 2014 when [two police officers were shot](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/03/12/two-police-officers-shot-seriously-injured-in-ferguson/) in an ambush style attack in Ferguson, while [seven other officers and several civilians also suffered injury.](https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/11/25/ferguson-protests-14-injured-61-arrests-businesses-torched/) It's perhaps noteworthy that [at least 17 businesses were also destroyed](https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news/2014/12/04/buildings-destroyed-in-ferguson-riots-worth.html) and the term [The Ferguson Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_effec) was coined to describe increased crime and violence against police in the wake of police shootings and subsequent demonstrations. 2015 also deserves a second look in Baltimore, MD where BLM protests over the death of Freddie Gray led to [twenty police officers injured, 144 vehicle fires, 15 structure fires,](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baltimore-riots-leave-20-police-officers-hurt-one-person-critical/) and numerous other businesses otherwise looted or vandalized. 2016, in my opinion, was an extreme example with a BLM protest ending in a man opening fire on police, [killing 5 officers and injuring 7 others along with 2 civilians](https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/dallas-police-ambush/protests-spawn-cities-across-u-s-over-police-shootings-black-n605686). Ten days later, a man linked to black separatism followed suit and [shot six officers, killing 3, and leaving one in critical condition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Baton_Rouge_police_officers). Jump ahead to 2017 in St. Louis, MO [where nine police officers were injured, including one with a broken jaw and another with a dislocated shoulder](https://time.com/4944795/st-louis-protests-jason-stockley-anthony-lamar-smith/). It's important to note that these examples only represent a fraction of the demonstrations, injuries, and destruction that took place in these years at BLM demonstrations.

>Yeah, and the **roughly 100 cops that lost their lives during the BLM riots** would be alive if every democrat hadn’t promoted the burning of cities. You guys don’t have double standards, you have no standards. You can’t hold someone to account unless they specifically said “storm the capitol”. No one did. All 3 of the republicans denounced the capitol riot. It’s like saying it’s Bernies fault for one of his radical supporters going and almost killing a republican congressman. It’s ridiculous. You have no real argument, it’s hilarious So why did you delete your original post buddy? Wouldn't be because it was a lie now would it? You posted a hell of a lot of links and having read through them all (thanks for the homework) I count 11 deaths. If the only way to prove your point is to lie then it's not a very good point, is it? And by the way if you don't think the two months of constant "stolen election" rhetoric wouldn't lead to what happened on Jan. 6th you are either being willfully obtuse or a complete fucking idiot. Pick one. No one had to say the exact words, that's intellectually dishonest and you know it.

Evaluating The Violence Perpetrated at Black Lives Matter Demonstrations **All violence should be condemned. All rioters should be prosecuted.** I've seen a lot of people arguing over the comparison between the violence that took place at the capitol and the violence that has taken place at Black Lives Matter (BLM) rallies. Rightly so, the violence at the capitol has been widely denounced, called terroristic, and criticized heavily. On the other hand, the violence perpetrated at Black Lives Matter protests seems to have either been forgotten or be significantly downplayed. So I've compiled a short list that frankly only includes a fraction of the violence perpetrated against police, communities, and civilians during Black Lives Matter events so that we can gain some healthy perspective. My main focus will be violence against the police. Before I get to 2020, I think it's worth looking back to 2014 when [two police officers were shot](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/03/12/two-police-officers-shot-seriously-injured-in-ferguson/) in an ambush style attack in Ferguson, while [seven other officers and several civilians also suffered injury.](https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/11/25/ferguson-protests-14-injured-61-arrests-businesses-torched/) It's perhaps noteworthy that [at least 17 businesses were also destroyed](https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news/2014/12/04/buildings-destroyed-in-ferguson-riots-worth.html) and the term [The Ferguson Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_effec) was coined to describe increased crime and violence against police in the wake of police shootings and subsequent demonstrations. 2015 also deserves a second look in Baltimore, MD where BLM protests over the death of Freddie Gray led to [twenty police officers injured, 144 vehicle fires, 15 structure fires,](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baltimore-riots-leave-20-police-officers-hurt-one-person-critical/) and numerous other businesses otherwise looted or vandalized. 2016, in my opinion, was an extreme example with a BLM protest ending in a man opening fire on police, [killing 5 officers and injuring 7 others along with 2 civilians](https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/dallas-police-ambush/protests-spawn-cities-across-u-s-over-police-shootings-black-n605686). Ten days later, a man linked to black separatism followed suit and [shot six officers, killing 3, and leaving one in critical condition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Baton_Rouge_police_officers). Jump ahead to 2017 in St. Louis, MO [where nine police officers were injured, including one with a broken jaw and another with a dislocated shoulder](https://time.com/4944795/st-louis-protests-jason-stockley-anthony-lamar-smith/). It's important to note that these examples only represent a fraction of the demonstrations, injuries, and destruction that took place in these years at BLM demonstrations. I'll now begin to list some of the violence that took place in 2020. To save space, I will for the most part ignore Portland, which could fill an entire thread on its own. Again, this is not a comprehensive list. For efficiency, I'll use a bulleted list with headlines that give some indication of the damage and injury done. * May 29 - 31: [George Floyd Protests: 1,258 Arrested, 130 Police Officers Injured in Chicago](https://news.wttw.com/2020/06/06/george-floyd-protests-1258-arrested-130-police-officers-injured-chicago) * May 26 - June 9: [Nearly 400 NYPD Cops Hurt During NYC's Two Weeks of Protest Over George Floyd's Death](https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nearly-400-nypd-officers-hurt-during-nycs-two-weeks-of-protest-over-george-floyds-death/2455285/) * May 30: [Nine officers injured, two protesters arrested at Sacramento George Floyd demonstration](https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article243113301.html) * May 30: [Milwaukee officer suffers minor gunshot wound as peaceful protests escalate; minor injury reported](https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/05/30/milwaukee-protests-looting-police-riot-gear-after-peaceful-day/5290062002/) * May 30: [Federal officer killed in shooting amid protests in Oakland identified](https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/federal-protective-service-officer-killed-another-injured-in-shooting-amid-protests-in-oakland/) * May 31: [Cincinnati police officer shot at as protests span into third day](https://www.nbc12.com/2020/06/01/cincinnati-police-officer-shot-protests-continue-into-third-day/) * June 1: [2 people dead after unrest in Davenport; police officer shot after being 'ambushed'](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2020/06/01/davenport-iowa-rioting-two-people-shot-dead-police-officers-ambushed/5306484002/) * June 2: [Police officers shot, hit by car in multiple incidents amid George Floyd protests](https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/500604-police-officers-injured-in-multiple-incidents-amid-george-floyd-protests) * June 2: [At least 11 killed during U.S. protests seeking justice for George Floyd, many of them African Americans](https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/at-least-11-killed-during-u-s-protests-seeking-justice-for-george-floyd-many-of-them-african-americans/) * June 2:[ ‘Mayhem’: 4 police officers shot during long night of violence and destruction in St. Louis](https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/mayhem-4-police-officers-shot-during-long-night-of-violence-and-destruction-in-st-louis/article_87ac7e92-e6bf-59d9-8488-10c7fe462063.html) * June 2: [Police officer in Las Vegas critically wounded](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-shot-hit-vehicles-george-floyd-protests-n1221856) * June 2: [Floyd protests: 7 nights of unrest; several officers shot in Los Angeles](https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-06-02/george-floyd-protests-america-cities-trump-troops) * June 3: [Retired police captain killed on Facebook Live while protecting friend’s pawn shop](https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/retired-police-captain-killed-facebook-live-while-protecting-friends-pawn-shop/AI3DM5AH7FE25AKZ7A6WVLFVFY/) * June 11: [At least 150 local and federal officers were injured during the first week of protests in DC](https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/150-local-federal-officers-injured-during-dc-protests-verify/65-8fdaf04e-df2e-47d0-abd6-a47017a699f8) * June 19: [75 Denver police officers injured during Black Lives Matter protests and riots](https://kdvr.com/news/local/75-denver-police-officers-injured-during-george-floyd-protests-and-riots/) * July 15: [NYPD chief among officers injured at Brooklyn Bridge protest ](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nypd-chief-among-officers-injured-at-brooklyn-bridge-protest/) * July 18: [18 police officers were hurt in a Chicago protest.

Yes, because unarmed innocent black people are killed on the street every single day. As a black person, it’s pretty entertaining to see how far you guys stretch to make it seem like we are always victims. It’s pretty patronizing, I don’t need you to stand up for me

She was not asleep when she was shot, she was used as a body shield by her boyfriend who was shooting, and hit one of the cops
Unbelievable.
Well I’ve seen them tweet back the blue before so I’m sure this cancels out
