Watching The Sky Special On The Capitol Riot

[Sparta]

there can be no doubt that the mob intended to be violent, were violent and were (rather oddly I thought) anti-semetic. Fascists.

[Spicerack]

You don't actually know that, Ellipses.
It's possible as are lots of things.
I'd love to see the removed answers, lol.

[royfromaus]

Shoota...you're on to something.

What is the point of replying to my post if a mod has removed my answer for the wrong think?


I know 100% Antifa were at the demonstration.

You know 100% do you?

From January 2nd, before the capitol riot happened:

[royfromaus]

The removed answers were from me saying that anyone who believes Antifa were not at the demonstration must have a turnip for a head.


How sensitive are these mods who believe that Antifa were not at the demonstration?


This is were we are with media right from Facebook/ Twitter down to small sites like this one.

The things I have been called but laughed off...jeez

[jim360]

By all means feel free to allege that AntiFa were at the demonstration (although the 100% confidence defies credibility). Just stop being rude about it.

[royfromaus]

Yes I do unless the the chap I have been following on Twitter for over a year is lying and has been lying for at least five years.

He put up a video that he himself recorded showing the shooting of the woman climbing through a window.
Although he is Antifa he quite rightly said it was a murder.

[royfromaus]

Why would it even be a shock that Antifa were there considering their beliefs?

[Ellipsis]

> I know 100% Antifa were at the demonstration.

What's the story then? Trump calls a rally, his supporters go along, and a lot of Antifa supporters, Trump calls on them all to march up to the Capitol, they do, the Trump supporters do nothing wrong, the Antifa supporters break in and the Trump supporters try to stop them ... is that the story?

If that's the story, I look forward to all the arrested people being charged and brought to justice. We will see then how many of them are Antifa.

[ichkeria]

It would be a big shock I'd have said

Why are you following Antifa? !(!)

[royfromaus]

Is the mods removing answer going to start being consistent?

The amount of time Atheist and Allen call people idiots or snarling dogs on this site and yet the posts remains.


Btw
Is it you, Jim?

[royfromaus]

I follow black people, white people, left wing nutters right wing nutters. Muslims, former Muslims. Labour supporters Tory supporters. SNP supporters, Anti-SNP people.

Why I even follow some women!

[Spicerack]

I suppose the Turnip did for you.
I jump through mental hoops, being common, to phrase what I want to say without giving our mods an excuse to remove it. Not always successfully.

[Ellipsis]

What is the story?

[ichkeria]

I followed Donald Trump admittedly ;-)

[royfromaus]

Facist!

[ichkeria]

It hardly matters even in the unlikely case that it turns out that here were gallant Retrumplicans saving the Capitol from the ravages of the far left.
Trump incited them to go, and go they went.
The anti-fascists went first, followed by the others.

I personally think a Trump anti-election lawsuit hold more water, but you never know ;-)
As I said earlier, the attack on Washington was the worstm but not,, actually, the first.
A more plausible conspiracy theory is that the FBI deliberately did nothing, in order to pounce at the correct time.

[jim360]

roy @13:20: That's outrageous, how dare you!

It's spelled "fascist"

[jackthehat]

Awwww.....and just when I was complimented on a post of mine, too...

There is so much information available 'out there'; 'mainstream' film footage, taped interviews, covertly obtained recordings, blogs, vlogs, tweets and other ways of disseminating opinions that it is difficult to be entirely sure which version of events to believe.
And when the most powerful man in the world (allegedly) has spent the past 5 or 6 years denouncing anything he didn't like as 'Fake News' it is hardly surprising that it has trickled down through all branches of society until no-one is sure what it true, or which version of the truth to believe.

[Spicerack]

Ellipses, I was going to include Jim when I said you can't know that.
But if you check his post, it's couched in Cambridgese.
'I've seen no proof of Antifa etc'
That's partly because he knows some of the arrested may turn out to be Antifa and partly because everything Jim says is carefully scripted. (plausible deniability, jim?)
