If the same thing happened to Biden I'm almost certain mainstream Republicans would be saying things like "this is the people standing up against the woke mob, God Bless Them!"

At least you could argue Rittenhouse was a dumb teen, this motherfucker is 50, an off duty security guard with kids. And is it any coincidence that the person killed had an Arabic sounding name? It doesn't mention the ethnicity of the victim but I'm sure the guy saw the group of teens and thought "It's my duty as a patriot to stop Radical Islamic Terrorists"

That's why I liked a common chant at some protests in 2020, "Fuck Trump, Fuck Biden too, they don't give a fuck about you". Some conservative observers might have been like "what? I thought all commies were loyal troops of the Biden new world order?"

Okay time to go with the old classic then "Destroy Israel ASAP". Can't be hate speech, it's specific about Israel and not Jewish people.

Wholesome to see people help, but the main feeling I get is revulsion that this person can have a wheelchair provided with insurance but can't even get proper functionality without paying.

I agree with your comment and feel that sadness but also laughed at the joke, the human psyche is not made for modern times and I feel a bit broken.

It's the Seymour meme with police saying "no, it's the hostages that are wrong"

What year was the tablet? Samsung argued against Apple that they couldn't own the design of the tablet itself because it had been done in 1968 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Either way, nearly every piece of tech could probably be found first in sci-fi.

The Wikipedia article for the attack has a pretty thorough summary of the events, most aspects of it are pretty well documented as far as I can tell. Essentially, the police were able to slow them down while congress members were evacuated to more secure areas. After a woman was shot breaking into a barricaded chamber door, much of the attack seemed to dissipate, and not long after further reinforcements were able to help clear the rest of the building. Trump then told his supporters to go home, knowing they had been routed.
