inciting insurrection

 

 

 

Anyone who knew anything about trump would have expected no less.

 

 

 

I think Bill Maher has been predicting that Trump would incite violence when he lost the election.  I thought it was unthinkable even for Trump, guess I was wrong.

The Latest: West Virginia lawmaker among rioters in Capitol

 

A West Virginia lawmaker took video of himself and other supporters of President Donald Trump rushing into the U.S. Capitol after they breached the security perimeter.

In the video by Republican Del. Derrick Evans, later deleted from his social media page, he is shown wearing a helmet and clamoring at the door to breach the building in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

“We’re in! Keep it moving, baby!” he said in a packed doorway amid Trump followers holding flags and complaining of being pepper sprayed. Once inside, Evans could be seen on video milling around the Capitol Rotunda, where historical paintings depict the republic’s founding, and yelled, “No vandalizing!”

People are angry.  Labeling them as conspiracy theorists and telling them to deny what their senses are telling them and thinking that's going to sweep it all under the rug is not going to work out well for you.

Yes. Reminds me of the blind man using his senses the first time he meets an elephant.

 

Trust those sense without facts. Right on!! ????????

The following quote from Rowan Atkinson seems accurate and prophetic.

 

“The problem we have online is that an algorithm decides what we want to see, which ends up creating a simplistic, binary view of society. It becomes a case of either you’re with us or against us. And if you’re against us, you deserve to be ‘cancelled’,” Atkinson said.

 

“It’s important that we’re exposed to a wide spectrum of opinion, but what we have now is the digital equivalent of the medieval mob roaming the streets looking for someone to burn. So it is scary for anyone who’s a victim of that mob and it fills me with fear about the future.”

Excellent speech by Biden. 

 

Rather than condemn the actions, Trumps video response has added more fuel to the disgusting scenes. He needs to be locked up. 

His Twitter account has been locked up for now, possibly banned if he keeps inciting violence.

Great speech by Pence now.  Finally, he's speaking up against the violence and insanity.

 

Yeah, seems like he could have waited a few more days to grow a pair? Mother must have been egging him on?

The woman was shot by a U.S. Capitol Police officer, according to two people with knowledge of the incident.

Yes. I have seen that and the interview. I think it is prudent to wait for an official report rather than randos with "knowledge" in a breaking situation. Often people see what they expect to see. Who knows at this point...
