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.
CNN has little credibility, but I’m not going to get a video of the same nonsense over and over again… it happened, they were violent, full stop.
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.
Even the left has admitted from very early on that the barricade was moved. But while thats fine to raise that question it doesnt change the fact that most people there knew the situation, knew they werent allowed there, and were being actively destructive and violent. Saying “they moved a barricade somewhere” when there are clear videos of police creating lines to keep people out while they are being attacked and rushed, and people destroying doors and windows to get in, you really cant sell the narrative of it being sme peaceful gathering.
I mean hell even the wide shots fromt he day show clearly illegal and destructive riots en mass.
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.
Antifa certainly have plenty fo violence to their name. And I wouldnt even be surprised if there were a very small number there for whatever reason. But playing this off as a BLM antifa thingis really bonkers. We all know the overwhelming majority were there to support Trump, that much is very obvious and trying to create a conspiracy around it to negate that fact doesnt help anyone.
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.
I dont doubt that is true too, but regardless of any instigators trying to rally the crowd, in the end the crowd is responsible for their own violence. I likewise dont evben blame Trump for it, I blame the people.
