Yep. I’m not a fan of comparing everything to something else, but this really was set up to be a Reichstag Fire scenario. And it’s absolutely working.

I can’t believe what’s happened to America.

I do not think this mural exists, does it? I could not find it.

How does one "clear up an image" without adding some aspect to that image that's not there?

Look at this example:

“Could we get a name?”

No. That only happens if it was a black person that was killed.

There were some Antifa supporters in the crowd, but most of those who went in weren't. Violent or not, there were plenty of self-proclaimed Trump supporters inside the Capitol that day.

This would be similar to antiFA’s general strategy during the riots last summer. AntiFA would smash the windows of the stores then melt back into the crowds while local looters went in and emptied out the store. By then the antifa was nowhere around to be arrested.

This time at the Capitol, however, their pictures should be on many videos. It would be very uncharacteristic for any Trump supporter to use a tire iron to smash windows as we saw on many videos.

She was murdered and there are no charges because it was in favor of a democrat. Had she been black, or had it been to protect a Repulican, he would have been jailed and charged already. Let us get real! Shw was unarmed. She could have easily been contained without any problem. This man shot her at point blank range because he could. Now because he was protecting a democrat, killing her was okay? No it is not. He is subject to the same rules as Republicans. He murdered that girl when she could have been manually contained. He must be held to the same standards as a Republican would be held. If he is not, the twisted side of the equation will be exposed!

Did the Nazis prosecute SS officers for shooting unarmed people dead? Bueler? Spicoli? Anybody?

Well you have it first h and. With Biden as president white lives do not matter even when they are shot while unarmed and in cold blood in public.

IF WHITE LIVES DO NOT MATTER THAN NO LIVES BUT ME AND MINE MATTER.

The democrats have made their choice and done so in a very public manner.

So they lighten the pixels, so that everything in the image looks lighter.

Even one's skin for example.

"A freeper cleared up the cop's photo and he looked like a white guy, not Bailey."

Yes. The two video frames shown so often with a pistol actually firing were extremely blurred. A row of frames often displayed just above those two showed a bracelet on another person that was different from the bracelet worn by Bailey in photos taken elsewhere at another time. And here's the really interesting part that all of the genius conspiracy theorists repeatedly ignore.

"The officer said he had used tables and chairs to barricade the door to the highly restricted area and said he had 31 rounds in his gun."

Even if she got through the window there was a mountain of furniture piled up against the doors that she needed to climb over to even get on her feet. I don’t condone what she was doing but she was not a threat requiring deadly force.

Nope-would definitely have to get a change of venue...


Don’t know if that’s possible for events that occur within the District.

Excellent point, Right Wing Assualt. I looked at the original video in very slow motion and the shooter looks black and the still photo looks lightened.

"The Capitol Police are the Praetorian Guards, and this plebe entered the Senate. No matter how outrageous it seems, it was justified."

Yes. They didn't see only her, either. They saw a whole, noisy, threatening mob forcing their way in. That was their perspective. Babbitt just happened to be the one at the front of the mob. They're going to protect the members of the Senate from any chance of getting attacked in any way by a mob of unknown people, and that's all there is to it.
