I have no doubt that the subsequent investigation of the video evidence will identify most of those involved and will be followed by prosecutions and suitable punishment.

That will inform us all on who was involved. I suggest we all wait until then but I wouldn't put any money on Antifa being the primary culprits.

Maybe not but Antifa members were there in the building. I’m not even trying to say Antifa did it and not trump supporters. It’s just all the hypocrisy and double standards today are quite funny. American politics has moved from theatre to pantomime to WWF wrestling.

This is the best I’ve just seen. There are plenty more.


We're already had several those posted here. One was actually revealed to be a Qanon guy and regular at right wing rallies for years. The other posted with reference to an antifa image file name, was rather amusingly it turns out a neo nazi counter-protestor at said rally.

From what I can tell this guy isn't someone pretending to be a Trump supporter at all, or a crisis actor, he's the founder of a civil rights group and was in DC all week following the protests. We could argue that he shouldn't have been there, but he didn't hide the fact at all that he isn't a Trump supporter, and certainly didn't pretend to be one. Indeed he recorded himself inside the building as it all panned out, and had a fairly understanding attitude to the whole situation. Though from the deseret article you posted he seems to be politically opposite but cut from the same cloth behaviour wise as some of these people. That's activists for you!

Clearly these people were Trump supporters. And they were there essentially at the behest of the man himself. More sensible supporters likely stayed away, we're seeing the face of the 'diehards'.

Well, to be fair the one person shot appears to have been breaking into a high security location where there was an armed guard whereas the other example was an individual who was not attacking the Police and who got sat upon until his breathing stopped.

This lady chose to be the first to go into somewhere where I assume it had been made clear lethal force would be used if she did it. And as there was a large group behind her waiting to follow I think it was always likely someone would get shot.

Mind you I am sure another way would have been found in the UK but in the UK it would be unlikely that such a lady would have had armed accomplices just behind her with the possibility that she herself may have been armed.

Correct but I’d add that the echo chambers created by social media have seen this now happen on a grander scale, lockdowns probably don’t help either.

It’s exactly the same for a lot of nonsensical wokism and rise of people genuinely believing there is some virtue in identifying as communists.

I don’t use any social media platforms but occasionally have a butchers at Twitter. It would appear you need to be some sort of incel and believe either in identifying as Antifa, Communist and ‘progressive’ or a far right conspiracy devotee in order to have an opinion. Of course, everyone who does not agree with you qualifies as the devil and a ducking idiot in either instance.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Your opinion or proof? Just asking as posters on here insist on having proof on these sort of matters

Maybe you should tell DanH to wait and see then

Yep you’re pretty spot on. The dangerous thing with social media, vloggers etc. is that they can dress up any old b*llocks convincingly and know that people will fall for it. I’m not a huge fan of our media by any stretch but at least they are regulated by fairly sensible media and libel laws that social media isn’t (or to nowhere near the same extent anyway).

You’ve had people on both sides of the political spectrum take advantage of it and it really just has led to the rise of the idiot.

I wonder if her family will share your sentiments.

Three specific people were said to be ANTIFA pretending to be Trump supporters. One was shown to be a QANON guy, one a known neo nazi, and the third a civil rights activist reporting on the scene.

Much like the endless 'its rigged' election examples thrown at the wall it see what would stick, it's best that these imaginary 'antifa' members aren't seen as some kind of a 'freebie' to just throw out there as proof of a point that has no basis. If people keep either making things up, or believing nonsense it is their obligation to review their approach, not others to play Guess Who? There is no requirement to get a firm identity on every single person present, just because some people can't mentally come to terms with the fact that it was clearly Trump supporters storming the senate at his behest.

Nevermind deleting or not deleting individual accounts. They should delete them all, close down, and nothing of value would be lost .
