Typical. Make up a phony "fact," ant then make up a phony accusation. It's just so disgusting constantly dealing with this stream of total crap from you and Brower and other Democrats.
So I didn't say there was no violence, because there was property damage. And your "typical Fox News edit" phony accusation is really typical crap from you. You're thinking of state media CNN, which "edits" every news item to conform to the orders coming from their bosses, the Biden administration. My experience is that Fox News covers both sides and is almost always "fair and balanced," a concept completely foreign to Democrats and state media like CNN.
Here's certainly an edited but more balance overview of the riot: Find it HERE (if it won't play directly for some unknown reason).
I found a much more dramatic one, but it ran over 2 hours.

That person was Ashli Babbitt, a female, an unarmed veteran, and a Trump supporter. She was presumably shot and killed by the Capitol police for the crime of being a Trump supporter. Fox News and Republican politicians have been demanding to know who shot and killed Babbitt, and to get the details of the shooting, but the Democrats have been adamantly stonewalling, presumably because revealing what happened would show Democrat complicity in the "insurrection."
Can anyone determine that no weapons were present? No. Ashli Babbitt was, frankly, naïve. Who in their right mind can think that they can breach a barricade actively defended by armed and heavily outnumbered officers, when they were defending the governing officers of the land. That's just nuts!
Xenakis continues ... Wrote:I know you couldn't care less about Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt being shot dead. I can just imagine what you're thinking, Horn: "A Trump supporter? Shoot her dead! Pop! Pop! Shoot all the Trump supporters! Bang! Bang! Bang! Better yet, kill as many Trump supporters as possible. Then do what our pals the Chinese Communists do. Round up the rest of the Trump supporters, enslave them, and use them to build more mansions for Democrats!"
Nonetheless, if we were talking about a female antifa-blm fascist, burning down or looting businesses, then shot dead by a policeman, then you and Brower and other Democrats would be screaming that policemen must be condemned and defunded. But no one would ever accuse you or Brower or the Democrats of either consistency or intellectual honesty.
So what are you going to do now? Oh, I know! Make up some new false "facts" and some new false accusations. That will be your next posting.
Oh please, give me a break. Are you arguing that an attack on the US Capitol by people threatening the Speaker of the House and the VPOTUS are just a bunch of good-old patriots out for a leisurely afternoon in DC? This has nothing to do with Antifa or BLM, though some of those activities elsewhere will generate jail time too. No, this was insurrection pure and simple. Maybe they were incompetent insurrectionists, but the intent and actions are there to see by all.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
