One man’s insurrection is another’s “peaceful protest.”<\/p>\n

I guess it has come down to a matter of perspective. I happen to believe that 1\/6 produced an insurrection against the federal government, while others seem to suggest that there was no such intent on the rioters who stormed Capitol Hill at the urging of the former Insurrectionist in Chief.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

There is no more good to be had, it seems, in trying to persuade the insurrection deniers of what the whole world, the entire planet, witnessed that day. For the record, I just want to restate what I saw.<\/p>\n

I watched a crowd crash through windows of the Capitol Building. The crowd was carrying signs that called for the hanging of the vice president of the United States. Custodial crews had to clean up human feces off the floor of offices. Rioters were heard on audio recordings reciting their intent to stop the certification of the Electoral College tally that elected President Biden. One of the rioters was shot to death by a Capitol cop. Another police officer died in the melee.<\/p>\n

Were the rioters sincerely intent on stopping the vote tally? Or was it all a joke?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t doubt the mob\u2019s sincerity.<\/p>\n

Thus, I consider it an insurrection, no matter what the FBI and others might have concluded. It damn sure wasn\u2019t any sort of peaceful protest.<\/p>\n
