No Proof January 6 Was an 'Armed Insurrection'
Not one person has been charged with possessing or using a gun inside the Capitol. Further, no one even has been identified as carrying a gun inside the building.
By Julie Kelly
February 19, 2021
Since the Justice Department launched its nationwide manhunt to track down and arrest anyone involved with the Capitol breach on January 6, hundreds of perpetrators have been arrested.
Most face misdemeanor charges for trespassing or disorderly conduct, but dozens are in jail and denied bond for the thoughtcrime of believing the 2020 presidential election wasn't on the up-and-up. The acting U.S. attorney general overseeing the investigation promises to apprehend hundreds more, however, it's been two weeks since authorities have arrested anyone in connection to the probe.
...
Hundreds of crazed Trumpists carrying deadly weapons, the public believes, stormed the Capitol to injure or kill senators, representatives, and even Vice President Mike Pence in order to avenge a "stolen" election.
Most news outlets--as they did with the coverage of Sicknick's death--unflinchingly repeat the "armed insurrection" trope, which can be traced back to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's January 7 press conference. "[Y[esterday, the President of the United States incited an armed insurrection against America, the gleeful desecration of the US Capitol...and the violence targeting Congress are horrors that will forever stay in our nation's history," Pelosi ranted.
...
When a thinking person hears the word "armed," he usually thinks of a firearm, or a gun. Yet here is how the Justice Department describes the trove of deadly weapons seen at the Capitol that day: "During the course of the violent protests, several violent protestors were armed with weapons including bats, pepper spray, sticks, zip ties, as well as bulletproof vests and anti-tear gas masks." (The zip ties, it's important to note, weren't brought into the building by Trumpists but by law enforcement officials.)

If you don't believe the United States government was inches away from being overthrown by a Cosplay buffalo shaman with a hockey stick then you're a racist
Maybe they are making the claim because of the weird dude with the spear that they let walk all over the place with about 10-15 cameras following him?
If people WERE armed, this thing would still be going on. Drama queens, the lot of them.

If republicans are the party of assault weapons and machine guns then we we did a poor job using our resources.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
Capitol police could have ended this with a shield wall of 300 riot baton wielding police. They have a force of 2000.

The only person who died via firearms was that woman who was shot by the capital police. A story that very quietly disappeared, in a world where police shootings are under the microscope. . .
If anybody ends up on these juries, nullify please. The US government is now doing witch hunts.
The bottom line is as per usual the Dems and media "politicized" this to the nth degree to make it sound like a bunch of revolutionaries were at the doorstep and taking scalps. The goal was to get rid of Trump for good, separate him and his millions of followers from the Republican party, and further marginalize millions of Americans as hood wearing white supremacists so they can continue to parrot the white boogeyman as the criminal element of society and the "biggest threat to Democracy", thus enabling all kinds of lib sponsored lunacy to combat it.
Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

It's almost like DC gun laws worked.
Several hundred "armed insurrectionists using military tactics" sure did a piss poor job........
Imagine if the really had been.

Nope, no word at all that I've heard or read about these dangerous insurrectionists even having been "armed" with guns, knives, swords, clubs, grenades, laser weapons, pitch forks, or anything at all traditionally associated with the notion of an "armed insurrection" much less tanks, shoulder launched rockets or any other weapons normally used to carry out a real coup.

Then inherently it can't have been an insurrection.
It was still a violent uprising, which is the definition.

No it wasn't at all. If that is an insurrection my how our Capitol police got owned.
This was a mob action, pure and simple, of several hundred people, some of whom had planned to trespass, and some just followed the crowd.
An insurrection would have been several thousand, and they would have been well armed.
But of course - tis the state of our media. We had mostly peaceful riots, looting, arson, and murder by BLM and ANTIFA this summer, but an unarmed insurrectionist mob, most of whom stayed inside the capitol guide ropes.
The only treason here is the media.

Are you saying these were mostly law-abiding insurrectionists?

Doesn't understand the thread. That isn't how it is being described by those trying to gaslight the publicMagic City Wings said:

The Justice Department throughly investigated the capital protest, but never procecuted the progressive leaders who funded and organized BLM/ANTIFA terrorism organizations destroying US cities.
How incompetent and weak are DC Republicans?
