and flex cuffs with the announced intent to kill the US Vice president and the House Speaker, we all know that those offenders who survived their arrests would have been sentenced to lengthy prison sentences.
Thousands of 99% white people did that on January 6th.
We should not tolerate either a "volume discount" or a "caucasian discount".
Lock "em ALL up!

Tasers.
The Christian Shaman had a spear.
Many had flagpoles which they used as weapons.

The Capitol police had NO trouble threatening them, but then again unarmed Black folks and clergy are the REAL threat to Amurika.

(27,633 posts)The RW rioters and radicals must be sent a message. We're not going to take it anymore. And that includes finding their cult leader guilty.
It's so obvious that a large mob of white rioters, and not one was shot, choked held until they cried "I can't breathe" or beaten into unconsciousness with a baton. White privilege was clearly on display.
