Boo fucking hoo Ashli Babbitt

Probably not. I do think Ashli Babbitt was dealt with appropriately, but don’t think anyone else there was doing anything worth shooting them over. It was clear she was going to physically harm or lead a mob to harm members of congress. It stopped everyone in their tracks and turned it back into a bunch of idiots doing idiot things. 

@immamac I heart you, but I disagree. As another poster noted, lots of police were injured. And the only reason it didn't turn into an absolute horror show is because the senate was emptied. If the rioters had gotten in there with all the senators there, there is no telling what would have happened. Shooting my girl Ashli only turned away one small group of rioters.

Riots are scary. I am impressed with how well the Police behaved at Congress.

Eisenstein made some good movies. IMHO, with possibly the greatest movie score of all time composed by Prokofiev, his best was ‘’Alexander Nevski’’. The movie, which memorializes a medieval battle against the Teutonic Knights, was made in 1937 to prepare the Russians for the upcoming war w Germany. The movie missed its original premier, as it was shelved when Stalin signed his non-aggression pact w Hitler. After the Germans attacked in 1941, the movie was finally released. It is fantastic, with sweeping vistas and a huge battle on the ice. Like all Eisenstein movies, it has a a lot of corny stuff but it’s still amazing and the music alone makes it worth a viewing. You can watch it here. The Suite is still performed by orchestras around the world.

Just like Babbit, the crowd would have dispersed after the first few bodies dropped. Most people aren’t heroes despite their cosplay costumes.

Not yet I’d argue, we would undoubtedly be worse off today but probably better in the near future. 

I desperately want young America to wake up and vote someone in who isn’t a piece of shit at any level of government. Both parties are so fucked up beyond repair, one are unable to govern because they are pussies and the other side is insane nut jobs who want to destroy the country.

I was curious.  Babbit was from San Diego, so I checked to see where she is buried.  Turns out, she was cremated and her ashes spread in the ocean.

I have next to no idea what your point is. The party that actually passed Healthcare Reform and routine, boring shit like an infrastructure bill while the other party routinely shuts down government when they can't get everything they want and gets into physical confrontations within their own party over who should be speaker- 

that's the party that you think can't govern.

And the reason you think they can't govern is because they're pussies.

I agree with that policy even as I agree with the sentiment of hosing the whole lot of them down with .50 cal.

I also imagine that no officer or other party other than those aware of the plan ever themselves imagined repelling an assault on the Capitol aimed at seizing members of Congress.

If they try it again? Make it a free fire zone.

The people of Odessa weren’t engaging in a violent assault in that film. If armed security personnel had fired on the domestic terrorists outside the Capitol around the time that they breached the perimeter, started assaulting police officers, and broke through a window into the Capitol itself, then anyone comparing it to Battleship Potemkin would be easily dismissed by pointing out that they’re citing a Communist propaganda film…and taking the side of the Communists. That would shut them up pretty quick.

This ain’t Ashli Babbitt:

There is no comparison at this point between the two parties. Biden’s government, while not perfect, (Hunter Biden really sucks and the Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster) is at least respected and viewed as functioning adults that can be trusted by our allies and people who can read around the world. The other is rightly viewed by what they are; an insane, funny if not so frightening, circus run by freak-show level morons and a criminal. Trump and his spawn have done and will do untold damage to our county’s ability to function and to whatever reputation is left by the time they take power. Trump will cozy up to Putin (which is truly incredible) and the North Korean dictator. They are a threat to our democracy and safety. The FIRST thing they will focus on accomplishing is somehow getting Trump declared president for life. Fuck that sociopath and his idiot morons. We are currently under our greatest threat since the Civil War. I have no problem using all lawful and unlawful methods to protect my country from them. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War and I don’t see anyone complaining about the outcome. Anyone with a brain is compelled to do everything they can to stop those monsters. 

[YGIFS 19449]

And as we conclude Ashli Babbit day in Texas…let us remember her final and patriotic words, “My only regret is that I have for my country but only one life to give, two exit wounds, and three holes.”

140 cops injured and multiple dead but ok sure 

Yeah its not hyperbole to expect wholesale slaughter given how things went down in real time, I expected Way more blood shed, and I expect it shouldn't ever get that out of hand again before there is way more blood shed.

But white protesters I suppose.

WTF dude. You're acting like breaking into the US Capitol, beating up cops, and making every member of congress fear for their lives is tantamount to graffiti or some shit. Horrible take and you should be embarrassed. 

[Nice Guy Eddie 13391]

Agree that not every single person should have been shot at the Capitol that day. The people who were physically breaking doors and barriers or hurting people fit into the category where the police should have been given the discretion to protect our leaders.

In what other scenario could you carry on a full-on battle with police and not expect the police to eventually shoot. The Capitol police had their hands tied that day.

would that have created additional problems if cops had killed dozens of rioters? Yes but that we need to address the growing problem of GQP, and not sweep it under the rug. The conversations need to occur. We are 3 years removed from Jan 6th and GQP congress members are not challenged by their party members when they call Jan 6th a tourist excursion. It’s like calling the attack on Pearl Harbor an air show.

No im not im acting like firing on citizens of the United States is a very very very very bad thing, like the end of America bad. A thing that should never ever happen under virtually any circumstance. Fuck all those people who did that, but it doesn’t mean indiscriminately fire on a crowd of our own citizens as a form of crowd control. There is room for that opinion without telling me I should be embarrassed. Be better than that. 

The dems aren’t some fucking great country builders sorry that I don’t subscribe to our problems as a country being solely rooted on one party being actually insane. I think electing people who actually want to make the country a better place together instead of only with people that subscribe to their perfect vision of the future are what we need. We need a government actually representative of the people’s needs and that isn’t happening on either side. Everyone is fucking pissed off and the solution isn’t just elect more democrats to hope they are altruistic and actually fix things. Spoiler: they are still a bunch of old out of touch pieces of shit, they just at least still have some level of accountability and aren’t psychotic country destroyers.

My question remains for any of y’all who minimize Jan 6 or believe that we shouldn’t have responded with more deadly force:

Replace that mob with one of Muslims mad because the will of Allah was thwarted because their candidate didn’t win, and they do all do the EXACT same acts while yelling “Allahu Akbar!” What would you have 2) expected and/or 2) wanted government forces to do in response?

No answer of “but BLM!” - tell me what you would have us do if the mob committing the same acts, with the same grievances about a lost election, did it in the name of Allah.

You damn well know we would and should have mowed them down. That’s what you would have wanted to happen, and rightly so.

They wouldn’t have to be Muslim. You brought up BLM. Look at how peaceful protestors were treated by police in this country. They had actual grievances too. The only thing that kept this from going loud was the ethnicity of the traitors
