I can’t believe people thought that was actually “violently storming” the capitol

It was a protest. Methinks you’ve never seen an actual violent crowd

There’s a video here of some of the peaceful protesting:

And that’s not violence. That’s less trouble than a soccer fans

Yeah, I guess Michael Fanone, the officer who got brain damage, burns, a heart attack and PTSD, after being beaten and given electric shocks by the crowd, was just failing to perceive the peacefulness of the situation.

Lol fuck off troll.

That wasn’t violence. Why they did it and the Trump thing is stupid but an actually violent attack would have been actually successful at purging the congressional ranks.

And fuck off, .world mods, me saying what I wish had happened isn’t a call for violence

So as long as an attack isn’t successful, it isn’t violent? Then the attempted assassination of Trump also wasn’t violent. Just a peaceful protest.

violence is when guns and bombs and death

Smooooooothbraaaaaiiiiin

Violence does something. It eliminates enemy combatants or resources. A protest doesn’t do shit

Welcome back to the 1600s

I bet it rattles around in your skull like a little cue ball

You fucking idiots who argue “anything done by the Right no matter how tame is violence, and anything done by the Left no matter how abusive or violent is righteous” are apparently all over this platform. I joined this app cause I was curious about this platform that claimed to be Reddit Lite, but now I see this place is just an echo chamber for Left-leaning gaslighting narcissists.

You won’t even acknowledge that a right-wing protest in which no one attempted to perpetrated an act of violence is not “violence”, or acknowledge that you are blatantly determining what constitutes violence solely upon the political party that someone claims, and not upon the actions being perpetrated and then gaslighting people about it. So, go fuck yourselves. 😘

Ah yes, I remember when they peacefully bludgeoned that police officer.

Sorry, my bad. Shouldn’t have given you the benefit of the doubt in assuming that you were a troll and not just braindead.

I mean, they only tried to help him wake-up because he was sleeping on the job. So it’s just good samaritans helping a poor soul.

So you think violence against cops is justified? It was okay that they used violence against officers at the Capital during the protest?

100% yes. Anyone guarding that building is an agent of the government, as are cops.
