The DOJ, FBI, and CIA report to the president. If he wants an investigation it happens.

Then again expecting you to have even a basic understanding of the government is expecting too much based on your post history.

Stretches of capital of our nation DC were smashed up and on fire earlier in the summer, under occupation by rioters. a lot of people here, media, and in politics were cheering it on.

you could like just say, ummmmm, that you were wrong. id settle for that. or maybe say that what you said was dumb, and that we are all now dumber for having to read you dance around the fact that you were so blatantly wrong. maybe even admit that youve repeated this same wrong statement a few dozen times in pard now.

But isn't the claim that every single person no matter what they did should be arrested?

I mean, if your claim is that anyone who smashed a window or attacked a police officer should be arrested, in general, we agree. What about the other thousands of people? To be blunt, there were videos and photos all over the place. It should be easy to track down anyone who was anything other than peaceful and nab them up. Is that enough, or are you out for blood in a way you weren't when the... Protestors... Were something you agreed with?

if it's their cause, they cheer. if it isn't, they boo

humans gonna human

You dodged the question. Again. Who do you want arrested? Those who were carrying weapons were already arrested. Who else? Not down to engage further until you answer a basic question. Not even about right and wrong or arguing a point. You stated:



Before we discuss the merits of constitutionally questionable misdemeanors any further, let's get a straight up answer. Or just admit you were talking out your ass and we'll proceed from there.

Edit: oops, fail edit. Sorry for the partial double.

You're doing that thing again, where you assume everybody you disagree with has the same opinion, and that the opinion is the most extreme one you've heard.

Ah! So we're on to something now. Alright friend medical dropout, should ANYONE who has not already been arrested be arrested? If so, who and for what?



To be fair, I'm not cheering. Yesterday's events were idiotic. They accomplished nothing, and highlighted a lot of stupid. Flipside, I'm not calling for random people to be locked up either. Just as I didn't call for the 2018 occupiers to be locked up.

Plenty of stupid to go around with this nonsense, and the majority of it is either media-fueled or media-repressed. It's well past annoying.

Anybody who carried a weapon into the capitol I agree with them being arrested.

Anybody who we have evidence engaged in property damage.

Anybody who touched an official or staffer's office or personal affects.

That's my minimum list. Maybe there's others I haven't thought about.

Those with weapons were already arrested, and we agree.

Those who engaged in property damage we agree.

Touching something is not a crime, we disagree. If they caused damage to the staffer's office or personal effects, sure. But touching something? Come on man. Be real.

I would add to your list: Anyone who attacked a police officer without first being attacked BY that police officer. And there were a few who did so and were not arrested.

But as it turns out, we mostly agree. All based around criminal actions beyond some petty misdemeanor. And that specific line of "criminal action" is why somebody "touching something" is just laughable. Like, wtf. If they stole it or damaged it? Sure. Otherwise? It's a government official and a government building. I'm sure the protestors won't mind $20 worth of lysol wipes to clean literally everything off with. ffs.
