The guy’s right; Trump abandoned them. He was still in office with pardon power when it became clear the leftist media had fabricated the insurrection story and leftist politicians saw a great opportunity dropped in their lap. So now the DOJ keeps these people in solitary with promises of essentially life in prison while BLM and antifa routinely attack public officials and private individuals with actual violence while facing very little consequences. The guy should be pi$$ed. We all should be pi$$ed at the way one group of protesters is treated vs another.

You beat me to the punch Eegore!

Well done!

"And it’s insane that the killer of Ashley Babbit was adjudicated in secret with his identity unknown. Imagine for one second if an unarmed female BLM protester breaking into a government building had been shut down and the shooter’s identity was kept secret and he was not charged......
just imagine."

 I brought that up here before.  I think if it were ANTIFA it would just be the opposite people responding.  If some black mask ANTIFA supporter was killed then the classified status of the LEO would be scrutinized by non-Trump supporters, but accepted by Trump supporters.  The tactics for response would be different, historically ANTIFA or similar based responses tend to impact non-participants at larger scale.


 As for the term "insurrection" I do believe the Jan 6th event is accurately called an insurrection if we examine the entirety of the evidence.  The weeks of pre-planning online, the improvised explosives, and even just a mop handle is by definition considered taking up arms.  However not every participant was armed, or intending on entering the building.

 This is why each participant should be given a trial, and charged appropriately.  "Getting out of hand" is not an excuse, it is certainly not a legal defense when talking about entering buildings.  I do not think someone that entered the building and didn't really do anything should get a full sentence allowed by law, but I also do not think they should be able to walk away saying "Meh, I got out of hand".  You go parade around posting your criminal trespass on Facebook and tell me you won't get a harsher response than somebody that did the same thing, but didn't take photos and brag about it.

 As for the referenced article, some of these guys admit they were going with intent to enter and stop the ceremony.  That's not peaceful protest getting out of hand, that is intentional and they thought Trump would get their back.  They were wrong.

 I expect to be held accountable for my actions, so I am ok expecting that of others.

" WTF dude.....! Impacting non-participants on a larger scale means rioting, beating random people, burning buildings down."

 Yeah.  These things, to me, mean that there is impact to non-participants on a larger scale.  I've been to places with really large scale violence and infrastructure destabilization.  Entire cities destroyed, thousands displaced, thousands killed, I've literally hauled hundreds of dead in front end loaders into mass graves.  The beating random people, and burning a few buildings is, to me, mild by comparison.  
 

"And no, if an unidentified white policeman shot and killed a black BLM rioter peacefully protesting while breaking into a government office and he was adjudicated anonymously in secret, whole hole cities would F’ing burn. You know that."

 Yeah, as I said: impact to non-participants on a larger scale.  I think however that if it were a BLM supporter the Trump supporters would be ok with classified status LEO.  


"And you’re gonna try to tell me that’s the same response and BLM or antifa would have?"

 No.  I very specifically said the impact to non participants would be on a larger scale.  How can you address my statement at the beginning of your post then claim I did not say there would be a difference on the same post?  "Larger" by definition does not mean "equal" or "the same".


"That’s the same line of thinking that tries to draw and equate moral comparisons between the Palestinians and Israelis. There is no moral comparison."

 I'm not placing any moral value to any of this.  I am saying that if an ANTIFA supporter was killed in the same location as Babbitt, Trump supporters would be ok with that.  But since it was a Trump supporter that was killed, they are not ok with that.  

Ah yes, WM uses the "the other side would have done worse" as a defense. Is highly effective.

It's cute you've chosen to double down on hating the media and blaming everyone but those involved. You seem to consume a lot of the media you hate so much, maybe time to turn off the "fake news" and enjoy the reality around you instead. Yelling into your echo chamber certainly isn't going to change any minds.
