A few things:
-People are complaining that tear gas wasn't used and force wasn't used. Tear gas was used in one section outside the building.
-They weren't rioting just to steal things like the people did in all of the riots where a black person was killed by police, which is why tear gas wasn't used.
-they weren't stealing anything.
-they were standing up because they feel that the government gave Biden the election, which the Declaration of Independence states that it is the right and the duty of the people to overthrow the government when it is doing wrong.
Are people just going to ignore the glaring contradictions out of fear of being called racist?
This post is incredibly disturbing for a variety of reasons. It demonstrates the lengths people will go to in order to defend the indefensible. What occurred during the attack on the Capital was sedition / treason. Some involved had planned on taking members of Congress (including the VPOTUS) hostage or doing them physical harm. Any attempt to rationalize, equivocate or downplay the actuality of what happened is to demonstrate an alarming level of moral depravity.
Even more concerning is the utter and total disregard for facts and reality in favor of propaganda and preferred narratives, often fed by purposeful misinformation and nefarious intent. I continue to be disheartened by the increasingly prevalent lack of critical thinking, honest examination and objectivity when it comes to our political discourse and interactions. It almost as if embracing / displaying the very worst of our nature is now a badge of honor --- tribal ignorance masquerading as ideological superiority.
