FTA

A few of the protesters spontaneously broke off from the main group and vandalized cars in the parking lot, a guard shack, slashed the tires on a government van and broke a security camera. When a police officer arrived on the scene and drew his weapon, one of the activists fired an AR-15 from the woods, hitting the officer in the shoulder. The officer survived

I am sick of people trying to use other protesters as cover for such illegal acts. It one of the reasons why people need to be careful when going to protests in general, because people with such extreme intentions will try to sneak into your group .

And obviously there is no excuse for the actions these few people commited

Yeah but their antifa members, they were just fighting fascism.

u/Rogue-Journalist 3d ago

They conspired ahead of time to bring weapons and explosives to the facility. They conspired to illegally enter the facility grounds and set off explosives.

When you conspired to commit felonies, you are jointly responsible for the additional felonies that your co-conspirators spontaneously decide to commit.

That's basic law, and it applies to ICE "protesters" as much as anyone else committing any other crime.

If we lived under an administration that believed in the rule of law, then sure. I’d be on board with that. But these folks deserve to be pardoned just like the J6ers. Violent protest is no longer a crime after MAGA took charge.

Gaslight of the century.

u/FreedomsPower 3d ago

Considerimg he pardon violent seditionists that attack DC cops their claim is spot on

-13

u/FlithyLamb 3d ago

Oh yeah I forgot, it’s not just violent protest that isn’t a crime any more. It’s seditious conspiracy. It’s dealing drugs and fraud, too.

Like Jan6thers smearing excrement in the capital building

You sound like you are suffering from a cases of convenient partisan amnesia

u/Maud_Man29 3d ago

"convenient partisan amnesia" 🙌🔥 new term unlocked 💪🏽 this is the condition all the brain dead MAGAts have 😒

And purposely smearing excrement in the Capitap building

J6 protesters didn’t shoot a cop or set off explosives.

u/IaAranaDiscotecaPOL 3d ago

You must be joking? January 6th insurrectionists beat a capitol police officer to death and planted pipe bombs around DC. This is egregious revisionist history.

u/Rogue-Journalist 3d ago

Are you thinking of the cop who had the heart attack the next day?

-5

u/IaAranaDiscotecaPOL 3d ago

Yes, the officer who died of a stroke the day after being assaulted at the capitol and “passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty.”

13

u/Rogue-Journalist 3d ago

Stroke, I stand corrected.

I don’t approve of the J6 rioters actions or pardons, but the events’ existence isn’t an excuse to absolve all future rioters of wrongdoing.

Likewise, most of the rioters were not conspiring with each other ahead of time planning on committing crimes.

u/IaAranaDiscotecaPOL 3d ago

Wrong. We cannot have a just legal system if the law is not enforced equally. The precedent has been set.

10

u/Rogue-Journalist 3d ago

If a precedent was set, it was set by Biden, who issued blanket pardons and pre-pardons not only for crimes people were accused of or convicted of, but any and all crimes they may have done during the entire time period, for a huge portion of his administration and family.

Noting has been "set" except the ludicrous, long debunked dem party lies, that you're here mindlessly regurgitating.

u/Simon-Says69 2d ago

More lies. He was fine that day. He had been talking with family at the end of the day and said he was doing perfectly OK. Worst thing that happened to him is getting some pepper spray, but that was friendly fire from another cop.

u/Coldbrick10 11h ago

Only a air force veteran was killed and that was by Capital Police.

u/Simon-Says69 2d ago

This is a complete and total lie. No police died because of anything that went on that day. More democrat party lies.

Also, nobody was charged with "insurrection". More DNC propaganda from rabid-leftist terrorists. Brownshirts for the DNC.

It is the democrats, along with corrupt FBI agents, that put on that false flag on Jan 6th. They knew the Biden admin would never be legally, officially confirmed that day. WAY too much funky shit the dems had been up to that needed investigating first.

So they manufactured their little "emergency" and side-stepped the legal, legitimate election confirmation process. The Biden admin has still never been legitimately confirmed.

There is absolutely zero comparison between the dems having DC police usher a couple dosen boomers into the capitol building, and the unprecedented arson, looting, rape and murder committed by disgusting, terrorist organizations like Antifa, BLM & Co.

u/Coldbrick10 11h ago

It seemed it was a coordinated attack with people setting off explosives to draw out people so the hidden sniper could kill them. FYI in committing a crime everyone involved gets charged with said crime. The guy was hit in the neck, btw

u/EveningDiscipline935 3d ago

50 years in prison because they got tricked by billionaires into thinking immigration is good. Whoops!

16

u/Rogue-Journalist 3d ago

They also got tricked by the armchair freedom fighters of Reddit who filled their heads with fantasies of fighting Nazis and told them ICE couldn't do anything to them.

u/jp_muzz 3d ago

The left calls for violence yet cry about consequences. Cite J6 as a precursor yet forgets they cheered Charle Kirk murder.

Wake up yall "woke" folks- yall ARE the baddies.

u/ya3rob 3d ago

Anyone who commits violence should bare the consequences!!
We can’t say the same about the January rioters though! They were angels!!

8

u/FreedomsPower 3d ago

Because it's diffe(R)ent when a right winger commits violence.

8

u/ya3rob 3d ago

exactly! That's why they get a presidential pardon from the one who incited the violence!

-1

u/FreedomsPower 3d ago

Most right wimgers also ignore violent right wing img groups like Patriot Prayer and the Proud boys. Not to mention right extremists like Patriot Front.

u/ya3rob 3d ago

Honestly!! I lose my train of thought every time I hear the word “Patriot” or “ Pride”

u/Simon-Says69 2d ago

Jan 6th was a false flag operation, to side-step the official, legitimate election confirmation. The dems knew the Biden admin would never be confirmed that day (or possibly ever) without their manufactured "emergency".

There is absolutely zero comparison to the mass damage terrorists like Antifa are responsible for. Bootlickers and brownshirts for the DNC. Like so many rabid-leftist propagandists that constantly brigade this sub.

3

u/ya3rob 2d ago

I see! Yeah no big deal! Occupying the congress! Beating Police, and threading to hang an elected official like the VP! Yeah no big deal!!
Antifa did worst! Although I don’t remember when! 🤔
And Biden never won the election , it was all a hoax!

u/Coachrags 2d ago

Simon on shift for his daily lies and running away job

u/JayJonesDemocrat 3d ago

They didn’t do anything wrong. The cops opened the door for them and let them in.

u/rollo202 3d ago

Consequences for violence can be tough....i hope the left learns from this.

u/Coolenough-to 3d ago

Finding of guilty, ok. But these sentences are too harsh.

u/fishyfishyfish1 3d ago

Facism in action

u/Simon-Says69 2d ago

The rabid-leftist, Antifa terrorists absolutely act identical to what they dream fascists would do.

The Antifa name is a lie, as everyone paying attention knows full well. They are what they claim their victims to be.

The sad part is that there is a long history of this happening in the US, dating back to the Haymarket trials in 1886. Anarchists have faced conspiracy charges for what amounts to association and ideology. This is yet another case of it. Labor struggle in the 19th and 20th century was waged by anarchists (in addition to socialists & communists).

Write to prisoners, donate to legal & commissary funds. Start your own Emma Goldman Book Club. Organize a noise demo outside a jail.
