so what happens when Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted?

mass riots against the rule of Law is an insurrection. see how easy that was to defend? Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

"I" will stipulate it was a riot in that property was damaged and people were assaulted and a few souvenirs were taken.The difference is, it was a single incident, not likely to ever happen again unlike the riots yet to come from BLM and Antifa.


As far as defining an insurrection, I do believe the Capital riot falls under that description, the desire to overthrow our government as stupid and ridiculous as that is to hear said out loud. It was what I would describe as a high level insurrection with no chance of success. I also believe that many of the assaults on Federal buildings were attempts to over throw low level government entities, declaring an ongoing war against the government and law enforcement in general.


Having said all that, the big take away here IMHO is that the Capital riot was a one time event, never to be repeated would be my guess because it laid bare to the right, the absolute stupidity of the event. Unfortunately the Left believes their riots will not stop until they achieve the "justice" they demand which simply can't be achieved. The only thing that can be achieved, is that every police shooting gets a complete and open due process. Rioting is not going to help that effort, only hurt it. When Democrats decide these actions from their side are not worthy of prosecution, they "distinguish" themselves from what the right believes. Originally Posted by HedonistForever

I'm pretty sure it was called an insurrection, because it was intended to prevent the certification of the election results. (A legitimate government function)

I don't know of any other riot that had that purpose. Do you? Originally Posted by pfunkdenver

Under that definition, both the Capital riot and the BLM, Antifa riots qualify as insurrection. Case closed.

BAHHAAAA

Only problem with that is that if they actually wanted to “overthrow” the government they’d have been armed. They were not. Their crime was trespassing and criminal mischief. The idea that these guys planned and/or attempted overthrow ANYTHING is patently ridiculous media driven bullshit, just like the guy who purportedly got bashed in the head with a fire extinguisher. Never happened. Total crock of shit repeated over and over so the misinformed would believe it. They even laid this guy in the rotunda and gave impassioned speeches. Up is down and black is white, a wise man believes absolutely nothing they hear on the “news”.

^^ Right just more liberal media OUTRAGE
