Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Someone was peacefully trampled to death, Ashley Babbitt was peacefully shot breaking into the capitol, and those were gallows of peace.
They literally dragged a security guard out of the door and ~~beat him to death~~. Because of all the preconditions that the seditionists set up, there were few guards and they didn't escalate. It saved their lives at least, but it was corrupt to the core
I think you're confusing Michael Fanone (dragged out, tased and beaten, had a heart attack but survived) with Brian Sicknick (had a stroke late that night and died the next day). To my knowledge, Sicknick wasn't involved in any assault that is believed to have caused his death.
(Before anyone jumps down my throat, I think all the Jan 6th rioters are traitors. I just think it's important to be accurate.)
Honestly I saw the thing live and read some time after that security guards died and just put two and two together
Wait, I thought they backed tracked that claim of beating to death. Instead it was determined it was something else that was a result of that day. Heart attack or something along the lines.
Natural causes…that resulted from being beaten to half an inch of his life and left to die, yeah?
They record the final cause (heart attack, aneurism,) as being the cause… but no one who reads the autopsy report with even half a brain really thinks he would be alive today if the beating never happened
“Officially” it was “natural causes” and a total “coincidence” that a Trump-supporting cop was beaten to near-death by other Trump supporters and died within hours. Naturally. As one does.
Probably Excited Delirium
Chronic hysteria
They tried so hard to martyr her...
They really did. One of my neighbors is a cop and always talks about "don't break the law and you won't have a problem", "just comply", "fuck around and find out", etc.
Then when she got shot, he was outraged. He was showing me the video expecting me to be equally mad. I was like "damn, I can't believe that law enforcement gave her that many chances to back down." My neighbor still thinks she was some kind of hero.
The rest of them are just lucky they weren't shot too.
Bullets are expensive. Just rebuild the gallows they assembled.
Public hangings go a long way to deter treason.
I draw that conclusion from the lack of hangings and correlative increase in treason.
They were never going to hang someone from those gallows. They were shoddy work, would have collapsed if they tried. They would have had to execute people some other way if they'd won.
They tried so hard to martyr her...
Breaking outside windows to gain access, etc.
Gallows and a guillotine should be at all protests.
