@freemo @not_br549 @jeff @BlinkRape not saying it didn't happen, but considering it's on CNN and they've legitimately been caught faking stuff for news stories, not to mention sued for defamation, i just can't believe whatever comes out of them.
i have seen footage of an officer literally opening up the barricade to let people get to the capitol so they aren't entirely guiltless either. if the capitol police were allowing them to get closer that's on them.
there were probably and most definitely some violent people there. it's already been proven that one of the dudes had shown up at BLM/Antifa riots before (the crazy guy with the face paint). there was some antifa guy from utah, forgot his name but he was stirring up shit there and from the people i've heard who were also there they didn't buy it because they knew who he was.
even in those BLM riots i wouldn't doubt if there were instigators that didn't believe in the cause, just to stir up chaos. paid or otherwise. we already know about the random piles of bricks. the suits have a vested interest in keeping people divided as much as possible. divide and conquer.
