What's the Difference Between a 'Mostly Peaceful Protestor' and a 'Rioter'?

You know what they didn’t do? They didn’t kill anyone. That was reserved for someone who shot through a door sidelight at a protester.  You know what else they didn’t do? Use live ammo.  You know what else they didn’t do? Trample the flag, which the capitol police did, while being begged not to. You know what else they didn’t do? shine lasers in cops eyes, set fire to the building, loot it, or shoot fireworks at people. [More]

I see the "moderate" Republicans are doing their utmost to suck up to their Democrat overlords. A special "Cuck for Law and Order" award goes to CPAC’s Matt Schlapp, who looks like he'd also be Blubbering Cellmate Bitch of the Month if he ever runs afoul of the authoritarianism he so enthusiastically takes two knees for.

Friend of the Devil

 The name on the unverified post matches his, but there are conflicting reports about what his Instagram handle was and several people who appear to be imposters have recently created Instagram accounts or are part of a group that celebrates his “work”. [More]

In a rational world, that would be probable cause to obtain warrants to identify and investigate them, and if corroborated by findings to initiate a full due process hearing to determine if the suspects can be trusted without a custodian.

Instead, we have "red flag laws" and LE being weaponized to expend resources conflating patriots with "white supremacists."

I KNEW It Was Trump's Fault

 For today’s “you can’t make this up” entry, here is an editorial in the Las Vegas Sun that’s attempting to link Quintez Brown, the BLM and anti-gun activist accused of the attempted murder of a Jewish Dem running for Mayor of Louisville, to “violent rhetoric coming from extremist Republicans [More]

Hey, they have to tell their cult members something before their heads explode...

[Via Michael G]

UPDATE-- That and there are mitigating circumstances:

During his arraignment Tuesday, attorney Rob Eggert entered a not guilty plea on Brown's behalf, requested a bond decrease and urged the court to recognize Brown's mental state.

In other words:

It's just his neurosis that oughta be coibed.

He's psychologically distoibed!

UPDATE:

A Noted Gun Expert

“The truth of the matter is weapons like the AR-15 have an effective range of over 1500 meters. If you're using the weapon within effective range of over 1500 meters you are not defending yourself, you are you are hunting a human being. And I don’t think any civilian needs to have their hands on a military weapon like that.” [More]

So this narcissistic, ignorant boy presumes superior wisdom to the Founders, who did indeed mean for free men to be able to defeat a military threat?

The fact that he's clamming up and letting his attorney take over is to be expected and isn't the "Only One" component of this story.
