Texas Election

Miscellaneous

There seems to have been a wide variety of motives from 6 January. Some seemed to have malice, others acted carelessly and disrespectfully, while others just seemed to be following the crowd. “Terrorism” has a definition and I don’t think it’s fair to call the whole crowd a group of domestic terrorists. The convictions they’ve gotten so far seem to validate that.

I’m not trying to armchair quarterback the Capitol police, but I think they could handle the situation much better if they had it to do over. Personally, I would feel awful if I opened fire on an “unauthorized tourist.” Once a situation like that gets out of control, though, it’s hard to restore order.

Or Nuremburg trials too, “just following orders”.

This went south pretty fast. Texas dodged a bullet by kicking Beto to the curb the third time.
Even Uvelda voted 60 percent for Abbott.

I don’t however agree that a government that will allow rioters in Seattle to toss firebombs at a federal courthouse with federal employees inside has much to say about unarmed demonstrators marching on the capital and shooting an unarmed woman.

The number of people that were injured or even killed or the number of officers that were attacked was staggering. The protesters on January 6th killed no one. I see a difference.

You make a good point. We are supposed to be having a discussion and often those are opposing views. That is how free speech works.
