    She was unarmed and her family did not attend. They're the ones suffering and doubtless being exposed to at least some of these images.

    As I said, might just be me.

    No, you're not alone. But you're once again seeing the disparities in our two cultures... although IMO, there isn't an "American" culture per se.

    If there was any kind of justice in this horrible mess, the pipe bombs and the van full of splosive-stuff would have blown up in the perps' faces, and the guys with the zip-ties would have been garrotted with them. :brood:

    She was participating in a violent uprising aimed directly at overthrowing the duly-elected United States government.

    Contrary to the rumours, I am an empathic person. But my empathy can only go so far.

    Seven billion humans infest this planet. Despite what the magical man in the sky says, we're not special nor is every life precious.

    Absolutely agreed, I'm just acutely conscious that the more these memes spread the more exposure for her loved ones. This must be an awful time for them as it is without their loss being a source of humour.

    Yup, plus they'd be wearing body armour, in better shape and singing sings with more than three syllables.

    singing sings? Spot you just tripped over a word with one syllable. Regardless summer "mostly peaceful" protest season is just around the corner, so we'll see plenty of hip young diverse protestors getting arrested and immediately released into Uncle Joe's loving arms.

    In your apparently ample spare time, why don't you link to every source that brainwashed you into believing all the TERRIBLE THINGS THAT ANTIFA AND BLM did over the summer?

    Because anyone who wasn't brainwashed would have noticed that the protestors were being attacked.

    Or just tell us why you voted for Trump not once, but twice.

    I watched Fox News last night to see how they were covering the Y'all-Queda raid.
    I could only stand 5 minutes.
    Only 2 of that 5 was actual content, the rest was stupid fucking CGI American flag swooshes.
    Anyway, that 2 minutes basically consisted of "but..but..whatabout BLM, huh??".

    Stop watching Fox, OF.
    Stoppit.
    Remember when the grownups told you Bugs Bunny and horror comics rot your brain?
    Nope, it's Fox.
    Start watching Bugs Bunny again.
    It's actually better for you.

    Look at it this way: A lot of people rush into those types of situations because they think that they'll be lauded as heroes. Instead, she found herself abandoned by the people who supported her cause and relentlessly mocked on social media. Those things might very well give others pause for thought about attempting a repeat of what she did. Her loved ones might be so disgusted at the reaction of the public that they opt to tell anyone else thinking of doing something so foolish to not do it.

    After all, you expect to be mocked by those on the opposing side, but you don't expect those on your side to declare you a traitor who was secretly working for the "enemy." Potentially, what we saw this past week was a "dry-run" for a similar event in the future and I don't have a lot of faith that either the Trump or Biden administrations will take the necessary steps to prevent it from happening again. America has a bad habit of doing a bit of embarrassed throat-clearing and then trying to pretend that something didn't happen. The only thing that might prevent us from falling into dictatorship is that fewer people will opt to do something so stupid for fear of being mocked on social media.

    Some of the people who were supposed to be protecting the Capitol and upholding the law were instead posing for selfies with people who were in the middle of committing crimes.

    That's a pretty fuckin' big base right there.

    I watch more than just Fox. But it's a moot point, Biden will shut down Fox or any other news source that doesn't fit the state approved "narrative" soon enough. It's for our own good of course!
    Government runs more efficiently without conflict and dissent. We'll still get news of course, but just the good stuff the state wants us to hear. :yes: The next four years will be fun!

    I think we should keep a running list of @oldfella1962 predictions. Here's two that I'm certain will come true.

    Thoughtful, but let's be realistic. After Wednesday every conservative or Republican will be mocked & ridiculed on social media even more than they are, and sadly the totally batshit crazy/bag o' hammers stupid like the woman who was shot will be mocked and ridiculed by everybody. All the Capitol rioters will be absolutely DESPISED by us non-liberals (like myself) because now we will be treated with suspicion and vilified because of these crazies. Already we are being identified and singled out by the private companies and employers, so it won't be long until the government (especially under Democratic control) starts doing it too.

    So here is what I think might play out (but I hope I'm wrong) - after a while some non-liberals might figure that they have nothing to lose because the deck is stacked against them, they have no voice
    and the Biden regime does not want their input and ideas, they just want them gone.
    If the non-liberals feel they are surrounded on all sides by the court of public opinion , the media and big tech it's not good. Factor in liberties limited or denied and food taken out of their mouths and it could very ugly, very fast.

    That said in the short term I hope nothing crazy happens involving the Biden inauguration or if it does it's nipped in the bud with a quickness.

    Will he be wearing a tan suit when he does it?
    How about no flag pin?
    Will he snatch a fly out of the air?
    What about school lunches?
    Will he rob children of their precious cholesterol and corn syrup?

    Yeah, I remember shit, cuz I don't have Alzheimer's.
