I saw something about Antifa posing as police. I think that was a real one. But he could have working with Antifa.
I go out to protest legally.
I don’t set myself up to be a victim. If you push things too
far you may be caught in the cross-fire no matter your decent
intentions.
There’s no doubt this woman was there to protest and let our
leaders know they were doing the wrong things. Sadly, she
was inside and then her life was over.
I really hate that.
Going inside was a dead end. What did folks expect to do
next? If they caught Senators or Congressmen, would they
have taken them hostage?
There was nothing to be gained by going inside, other than
giving the Left and the media the opportunity to trash our
entire cause and every person in it. Smeared...
What a mess.
Didn’t these people know that Trump would be blamed for
this taking place? Look what we did to Trump by doing this.
Those on our side who thought this was a great idea, thought
wrong.
By the way good for you...
the way it went is that he says he was high as a kite at the time
he clearly was looking for a break through moment..and was trying to do something like bruce springsteen with courtney cox
he did get some girls out of the crowd but then saw this girl in trouble but couldnt get the guards to figure it out
so he jumped down to get her..it was a big enough jump he could have broken a leg
meanwhile, his band members dont know what is going on and just keep playing the same thing over and over
he gets the girl and dances with her
she was about 15 at the time there to see Wham
the other two girls felt abandoned and i think it hacked them off
but in any case..bono made a big splash in the news
The most scared I have been in a crowd was at a rock concert. It was a somewhat small arena. During the break between bands I attempted to go to the bathroom and found myself in a hallway with hundreds of other people JAMMED together. I mean I was bodily up against other people front back and sides.
I could not stop moving as I was being pushed along by the crowd (NOT A MOB). All I could think of was not to be pushed to the floor as I know I would have gotten trampled.
Large crowds are DANGEROUS!
Absolutely correct.
This almost happened to me at a UFO concert, sucks to be Rock Bottom
“Those on our side who thought this was a great idea, thought wrong.”
Some of those arrested are now begging forgiveness from the authorities. People get caught up in the moment and common sense and good judgement fall out the window.
Other than a few radicals most folks who ransacked or damaged the capital I bet are regretting it right now. I think most were good folk as I said got caught up in the moment
They really are, and if you haven’t been in that type of
situation, it’s hard for someone to tell you and you not
think they’re overplaying it.
Imagine what would happen if someone yelled fire or
something. The slightest thing could set those people
off.
It’s all rooted in the fact the dems stole the election. If not for that, none of these other happenings would have taken place as they did.
Trump may still have had a gathering.
Antifa may still have infiltrated, but patriots would not have been upset about the steal, they would have had no thought or reason to want to go inside the capitol.
Emotions and choices likely would have been very different at least for patriots.
Antifa or paid rioters would still be angered, crazed, and/or selfish people.
the blood and deaths are on dems, their handlers, Rinos involved with all this hate for Trump and us citizens who love the USA and don’t want it changed into some global pawn and on those who’s intent was to cause chaos which lead to harm and death.
very sad but it is very largely the dems doings.
And don’t go to a British soccer match.
All protests may start out peaceful but there is no such thing as a protest staying peaceful...they won't.
I think ANTIFA was hip deep in the initial storming of the
building. Our people kind of got caught up in it.
If you know something is wrong, you really have to grab
hold of yourself and not give in.
I agree with your take on it.
I really do have mixed thoughts on all this. By rights
Congress deserved the wake-up call.
They’re playing it up like these are reps of the people.
No, they are reps to their own interests. The will of
the people means nothing to them.
“I could not stop moving as I was being pushed along by the crowd”
Been there. I was pushed up against a wall so tight I could not inhale. I was probably within seconds of passing out when the crowd moved back. Worst feeling in the world.
Now have a phobia of large crowds.
Honestly, I wouldn’t.
I know, those folks get very worked up.
Terrible. What this movement needs is a leader, that is, an on the ground person who can organize people and prevent things like this.
This can happen anywhere...I was almost trampled in my junior high school lunch line in NYC, where they used to let the kids gather in a narrow hallway, pressed up against the lunchroom door. When the lunchroom monitor (a teacher) opened the door, naturally the kids would all rush forward. I fell and it was really only because of a boy - who I actually never would have expected to be a leader - who stood up and screamed at the crowd to stop and then helped me up that I survived without injury. That’s what happens in an uncontrolled crowd.
I remember the days of rock concerts. The mass of people is a very scary phenomenon. I have also been to areas where there is societal chaos and people become animal like.
I’ve been in some situations also. Not terrible, but enough
to realize how bad it could get.
Yes that worm has turned
And we’ve seen cops will shoot us far quicker than they will lefties in cities
Make no mistake
This scared the uniparty stste and the media
