Obviously its about the context.

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
A jury on Thursday convicted Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, and three allies of a seditious conspiracy to derail the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden, a historic verdict following the most significant trial to emerge from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Jurors also convicted the four men — who also include Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl — of conspiring to obstruct Congress’ proceedings on Jan. 6 and destroying government property. The jury deadlocked on seditious conspiracy against a fifth defendant, Dominic Pezzola, but convicted him of obstructing Congress’ Jan. 6 proceedings as well as several other felony charges.

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
I don’t want to brag but I remember the days after 1/6 where many on this board were poo pooing my concerns over the severity of what happened and how nothing will come of it.houndawg wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 11:01 amSend them to Gitmobobbythekidd wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 9:34 am A jury on Thursday convicted Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, and three allies of a seditious conspiracy to derail the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden, a historic verdict following the most significant trial to emerge from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Same ones who assured us that Rudy had the goods on Hunter Biden over at the press conference behind the landscape companies equipment yard, and Leon Durham was going to kick ass, take names, and put and end to this crap once and for all with a forests worth of indictments

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
Remember those days that people were comparing 1/6 to 9/11, Pearl Harbor, etc.? The reality is that 1/6 was a big deal but not as big of a deal as some wanted to make it out to be. It was a threat to our republic but our republic wasn't really in danger.

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
Yup, the fear is that the next time it happens it could be pushed by a functional leader (rather than a Trump-type) and the folks heading up the riot could be thoroughly organized and armed. Thankfully, this was not really either of those. With that said, even if all those things were true the next time, there's still 300+ million Americans and all of the armed forces that would have to be on board with the coup and this past one had zero of that. Magic gavel withstanding.

That doesn't say much, we need a baseline.
So...bigger or smaller than the Tan Suit Atrocity?

You're leaving out the part about the cops getting caught with their pants down. None of this happens if the cops had prepared like they did for BLM protests.GannonFan wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 12:48 pmYup, the fear is that the next time it happens it could be pushed by a functional leader (rather than a Trump-type) and the folks heading up the riot could be thoroughly organized and armed.

The big question is did that happen on purpose or by accident

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
Similar to the AnTiFa insurgency of 2020.
- The January 6 insurgency was a threat to more significant target (Congress and the Presidential election) but was only for a day and violence and property damage were minimal.
- The AnTiFa insurgency was a threat to less significant targets (federal courthouses, police stations, etc. around the country) but lasted for months with significantly more violence and property damage.

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
Who is Graham Allen and why should I give any more credence to what he tweets than I do someone like Filipkowski?
Here's what is probably a more even-handed assessment - Key takeaways from Trump's CNN town hall
It was a friendly crowd and their support means almost nothing.At a Wednesday night town hall with Republican and undecided voters in New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump continued to peddle false claims that voter fraud cost him victory in the 2020 election, stood by his assertion that "stars" have historically been allowed to sexually abuse women and encouraged congressional Republicans to allow the U.S. to default on its debt.
...
Trump not only sought to subvert American democracy with bogus claims of voter fraud, he has also regularly attacked the judiciary, vowed revenge on his political enemies if reelected, been indicted for tax crimes, found liable by a jury for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, and has waged an all out war with CNN — where he has not appeared since 2016 — for years.
...
Throughout the event, Trump received applause and support from the largely Republican audience.

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
Yet the left was freaking out at CNN for allowing the townhall in the 1st place. Lol- it was a ratings bonana for CNN, just like 2015-2020 was covering Trump.

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
I saw a number of pundits on the left (mostly progressives) supporting the platforming. And for comparisons sake I read that last night’s audience was 3 million + vs 13 million that watched one of the J6 committee hearings.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 3:57 pmYet the left was freaking out at CNN for allowing the townhall in the 1st place.
