Since that horrible outrage of a day, I keep using the visual of the traitors attacking the outside of the Capitol which is what I see in my mind when I think of the event. Seeing the above visual with the story of this dickhead wanting his spear back is jarring to me.
And I now recall the one below:
The elected voice of the American people put in fear for their lives. That terrorized representative in red is the personification of what the breakdown of civilized discourse means to a republic. I'm getting sick looking at this picture.
Maybe this is the greatest example of the denial of the obvious at the crossroads of the law and the national (mostly TV) news media that there is.
Am I to understand that we all see this and the best way to prosecute it is as "conspiracy to interfere with a government procedure" or whatever the actual milky, limp, inapt charges were?
It's obvious that this is an insurrection. It's obvious that murder was intended because that's what they said they wanted to do. They battered, beat, blinded, and traumatized the keepers of order (Capitol Police) to the extent that there were later suicides and widespread PTSD as is associated with combat in the field. Every person who violated the first police barrier is complicit.
The whole lot of these enemies should have been shipped off to Guantanamo or put in steel cages and dropped in the cold sea. They want to act outside of civilized behavior to visit violence on those who do not? We can do that, too. This fuckwad shaman asks for it?
You want to believe you're hard men who can use force to compel me and us? Let's play, motherfucker. Let's play.
You will learn the cruelty of the state in prison. You're getting off easy.
