Sheshh! Never go against the narrative.
You've been provided a list of approved words and language to use when referring to and discussing the events of 1/6.

...and the fear factory continues. Paranoid security 'experts', anxiety ridden chief's of staff and an overheated media unable to focus on the real issues.

Yeah I was talking with a friend in NC and he was going all in on some conspiracy theory about the k-rails. I mentioned the recent threat of 2000 suicide bombers that Iran just tossed out this week…I figure that’s really what the blast wall is for-not the coming second civil war II….

The WH reaction looks knee jerk to me. There’s already security, plus SS, plus capitol cops, plus NG they can deploy…but I’m sure someone sold them on the blast wall.

But the optics are horrible. If I was in charge those walls would not be put up at all. Makes him look weak.

So much for that being The People's House

Those walls scream "stay away!"

The White House should never have to look like a bunker. That's what the White House basement is for.

Makes him look weak.

Look weak? He is the weakest and most pathetic President in our Nations history. Nothing can possibly make him look weaker than the world knows he is. All those barriers do is expose the true colors of this tyrannical administration.

I saw this video, and felt it fit right in with this thread. Soros has been a long time bugaboo of conservatives, funding lots of far left wing groups. I always wondered why. It never made sense for a billionaire to be funding the left, until I saw this. Apparently currency manipulation is how he makes money.

Now that sneezing on a D.C. sidewalk is an "insurrection' they probably plan on weaponizing this:

What are the main statutory exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act?

There are many statutory exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, but the most important one is the Insurrection Act. Under this law, in response to a state government’s request, the president may deploy the military to suppress an insurrection in that state. In addition, the Insurrection Act allows the president — with or without the state government’s consent — to use the military to enforce federal law or suppress a rebellion against federal authority in a state, or to protect a group of people’s civil rights when the state government is unable or unwilling to do so.

And the only thing, the only thing, that made it "deadly" was a capitol cop shot one of the protesters/rioters. That's it.

I would go further and say he murdered her, but yes, that was the only death that day.

Democrat-controlled MetroGov got caught in their own web. I’m sure it was all just an innocent mistake of good intentions.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Louisville Metro Government has rescinded an image posted on an employee page that advertised practicing “civil disobedience” on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The image was posted as a virtual flyer on an internal Metro government employee website by the Human Relations Commission.

Before it was removed from the website, the image encouraged Metro employees to celebrate the holiday by serving the community, celebrating diversity, fighting inequality and promoting education, in addition to the illegal act of practicing “civil disobedience.”

Under the Kentucky Revised Statutes, civil disobedience is a law-breaking offense that is prosecutable.

Jessica Wethington, spokeswoman for the Mayor’s office, said the image has been removed and revised with new information.

The updated version changes “practice civil disobedience” to “practice non-violence.”

No details were given as to how long the original image was posted or who posted the image to the website.

They truly just don’t get it. Highest homicide rate in the state by far, crime completely out of control, nearly 300 officers down, no one wants to work there, and someone in the mayors office thinks this is a great idea.

Brilliant.

Earlier this month in the Windy City, thieves broke into two northside stores and stole cash registers. They emptied the contents and then dumped the empty registers on the front lawn of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s private home in Chicago’s swankiest neighborhood.

Then, after depositing their discarded plunder at the governor’s abode as a show of criminal panache and disrespect, they proceeded to the high-end shopping district of Michigan Avenue where they robbed the Burberry luxury goods store … for a second time in three days. Police report that they stole over $100,000 in goods on the first Burberry break-in.

Such a sequence of events conveys a grim and foreboding reality for Chicago, and the country writ large. In Chicago, the bad guys are essentially in charge — and they know it. They did not fear the consequences of dumping their burgled garbage at the home of the man who ostensibly runs a state in America. En route, mind you, to their next act of grand larceny. But other Americans should not assume immunity to the problems of Chicago, because the Democrats and the American left of the 2020s eagerly seek to inflict Chicago-style policies on our country broadly.

That incident at Prtizker’s home kicked off a startling streak of terrible news for Chicago, even by the very low standards of a city that frequently devolves into chaos.

Consider, for example, that Chicago saw six children shot this past Tuesday in just a matter of hours.

Part of the explanation for the street violence lies in a totally broken public school system that works well for the Chicago Teachers Union but miserably fails the children of the city, most of them black and brown children without alternative options to the government schools monopoly. How bad it that systemic failure? Well, according to a 2019 University of Illinois study, a shocking 45% of young black men ages 20-24 in Chicago are neither in school nor employed

The kinds of policies pursued by Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the Chicago Democratic machine reflect the radical agenda of the Biden administration for the entire country

The more I listen to the leftist politicians reactions about the spike in crime rates, the more I think they are LETTING IT HAPPEN on purpose so they can blame guns and push for more gun control.

They keep saying "we need to get the illegal guns off the street". And that quickly turns into "the guns are coming in from lenient counties/states". And then the call for more background checks, and on and on.

The idea of prosecuting criminals that use guns or possess them illegally and not letting them back out on the street with no bail, reduced charges, or outright dismissal is the cause of the problem and not the guns is lost on them.

It is not "lost on them"--they are only too aware of the cause. It doesn't matter to them because they only care about getting rid of the guns.

Agree.

Feds quietly dismiss dozens of Portland protest cases

https://www.kgw.com/article/ne...12-8725-3fda2cad119f

KGW found 31 of 90 protest cases have been dismissed by the U.S. Department of Justice, despite warnings there would be “consequences for acts of violence."

PORTLAND, Ore. — Federal prosecutors have dismissed more than one-third of cases stemming from last summer’s violent protests in downtown Portland, when protesters clashed with federal agents. KGW reviewed federal court records and found 31 of the 90 protest cases have been dismissed by the U.S. Department of Justice, including a mix of misdemeanor and felony charges.

Some of the most serious charges dropped include four defendants charged with assaulting a federal officer, which is a felony. More than half of the dropped charges were "dismissed with prejudice," which several former federal prosecutors described as extremely rare. “Dismissed with prejudice” means the case can’t be brought back to court.

The dismissal of protest cases runs counter to the tough talk coming from the U.S. Department of Justice last summer. Billy Williams, then-U.S. Attorney for Oregon, vowed there would be consequences for the nightly graffiti, fires and vandalism outside the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse.

“Make no mistake: those who commit violence in the name of protest, will be investigated, arrested, prosecuted, and face prison time,” said Williams in a Sept. 25, 2020 press release.

In a recent interview with KGW, Williams explained the cases were dismissed in instances where prosecutors didn’t believe they could prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.

“Each case was analyzed for the evidence that we had at the time," said Williams. "Careful decisions were made on whether or not someone should be charged based on the evidence."

Williams explained decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

“Everything is case-specific when you go about these cases being processed through the system,” said Williams, who stepped down on Feb. 28. U.S. attorneys are traditionally asked to resign at the start of a new administration.

Federal prosecutors rarely handle protest cases. But when Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt passed on most protest cases saying he was reserving resources for the most serious crimes, the feds stepped in. Then-Attorney General William Barr reportedly instructed federal prosecutors to aggressively pursue protesters deemed violent or destructive.

“I've never made a decision in my career based upon political pressure or institutional pressure,” said Williams.

By summer’s end, scores of people would be arrested on various federal charges by agents guarding the federal courthouse in Portland. The names and ages of those arrested were published by the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Homeland Security in press releases. Additionally, photos of defendants’ belongings, from helmets to gas mask to goggles, were included in court documents.

Most of the defendants whose protests cases are still pending have seen their trials delayed, largely because of the pandemic. Those defendants face a mix of felony and misdemeanor charges. Three defendants cut plea deals resulting in probation and home detention. Two of the plea agreements required a relatively short prison sentence of 30 days. Several people closely involved with the protest cases, who asked not to be identified, said they expect many more federal charges to be dismissed soon.

Laura Appleman, a law professor at Willamette University who is not directly involved in these cases, believes federal prosecutors aren’t making decisions based on politics. Rather, she thinks they’re considering resources and an already busy caseload.

“The U.S. Attorney’s office has to go through and very carefully ask, ‘Is it worth using our limited time and energy to prosecute each and every of these federal misdemeanors?’” Appleman explained.

The most vigorous legal fight, laid out by public defenders in lengthy court filings, has involved nearly a dozen Portland protesters charged with “civil disorder." Defense attorneys argue the obscure law enacted during the 1960s civil rights era is unconstitutional.

At least 11 of the dismissed federal protest cases were dropped on or after the inauguration of President Joe Biden. With a new president and soon new a U.S. Attorney in Oregon, it’s unclear how these cases will be handled going forward. Like the protests themselves, there will undoubtedly be opposing views. Some will argue by dismissing cases, there’s no accountability while others will claim the feds never should have filed protest cases in the first place.

...“The U.S. Attorney’s office has to go through and very carefully ask, ‘Is it worth using our limited time and energy to prosecute each and every of these federal misdemeanors?’” Appleman explained."...

Yes, Laura, yes it is worth it! Because if the Feds don't, no one will.

What did George Orwell say about what it takes for "evil" to succeed? Not only that, my dear Laura, if you take a look around, "good men" are starting to get a little sick of all of this lawlessness and bullshit. Sooner or later, THEY are going to take matters into their own hands if no one else will.
