That doesn't excuse the woman who got shot forcing her way in. Or the hundreds of officers injured trying to keep them out. You focus on one spurious and debatable incident as some kind of proof. And then you ignore their actions once inside.

If you actually look at what I've said then you might see that I have not condoned nor tried to excuse any behaviour that led to death or injury. Just because I've recently been focusing on one aspect of the day, that doesn't mean I'm ignoring all of the others.

But somehow you focused on a trivial incident to the exclusion of far more serious incidents. It's a reasonable conclusion that you are deflecting.

I  responded to your links claim already with: Nothing here disproves what I saw. The VDO segments that do open are different scenes. The particular issue I'd like resolved concerns the question of Capitol security arrangements on the day and who was responsible for those. End of.

Expand  

There is a link I posted which refutes your claim and the video which was from a different angle.

I don't know what your . It may be genuine curiosity.

 

However, the reason why other posters such as ThailandRyan are raising a different assumption, is that the GOP, and in particular the MAGA component (ex Jim Jordan) have a clear tactic of trying to divert attention from the real issue by focusing on security rather than assault. And also to indirectly give credibility a few fake news, such as the imaginary responsibility of Pelosi for refusing the imaginary offer of 20,000 national guards to defend the Capitol.

 

Knowing your record of supporting GOP and MAGA positions, it is not surprising that they may come up with such an assumption.

Expand  

My motivation for this particular issue is that the presence of even a modestly larger security detail, better prepared, equipped and with significant backup/reinforcements available standing by close at hand would have probably controlled the situation and prevented the breech of the Capitol, along with the death, injury and damage that it caused.                               

 

Is my "record" of supporting GOP and MAGA positions on file somewhere? Oh Jeepers! Here is my position:

 

I am not signed up or allied to the GOP. MAGA is a gimmick but I have no problem with America being great - I see that greatness as a necessary foil to the other "great" contenders in the world right now.

 

I was not a real fan of Trump before 2016 but I was certainly no fan of the alternative then, at all. I think as President, Trump did better job than Biden has done or will do but right after the 2020 election, I think that Trump would have done much better to just concede and prepare to hand over - I've said this on here already but maybe that detail is missing from my "record"

 

It is not surprising that these "other posters" come up with assumptions. That's what they do all the time!

Can't you see that's exactly what you are doing now? 

 

Trivial? See my post above where I say this:

A security camera can prevent a burglary, but the burglar is to blame.

I did not ignore it. It was a different scene, as I have said. 

Expand  

A lesson to be had when making claims in the news section is to have a link to hand to substantiate them. Its the rules.

 

The first link given by @ThailandRyan described what you said.

 

However as is always the case, people spend time on you providing links only for you to dismiss them.

I did not dismiss it - I said it was a different scene - the scene I watched is no longer available on the internet. That's it.

There is no video scene in the first link, its a description of the events. 

 

You bringing up claims with no links to back them up is exactly why people have spent worthless time on you.

Expand  

Well that post has disappeared too now so I can't check.   

 

OK think I found the post - again, there is no vdo or description in there that matches what I saw on the day.

Agree about that. I sometimes get quoted with a reply that has nothing to do with the quoted words. Also the ones assuming they know what I'm thinking.

Two years on but no desire to learn lessons from this. Hopeless.

No learned lessons from this? Actually, There haven't been any more incursions into the Congress. So, perhaps the lessons have been learned.  Wondering whether other countries will learned it either?

What a bunch of hypocrites pretending to care about security.

 

Former DC Metropolitan Police Department officer Michael Fanone says it's 'disgraceful' that only one GOP congressman appeared at a Capitol Hill event commemorating January 6

You can bet that if the GOP win the presidency again then they will pardon every one of the insurrectionists jailed over this and pin the same medals on them all.

Actually, it won't be known until the next Presidential elections are held. But I imagine there will be plenty of reinforcements on hand and a President who is willing to use them.

Such insurgency or even a parliament storming sometimes happens not only because of a presidential election results. There are many other cases anywhere, however, they are not always classified so serious...

When has the Capitol been stormed and invaded before by insurrectionists? And it wasn't just about trespass, was it. They attempted to put a halt to the Constitutionally sanctioned transfer of power due to a false narrative promoted by a certain loser.

Expand  

Never but there were these events which were not insurrectionist and not related to stopping the transfer of power.
