Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government," government prosecutors wrote.

OK, so far so normal. Lots of people might hold those views. Except they didn't travel whatever distance in an attempt - no matter how harebrained - to bring those views about.

Is that you Jim?

Roussette · 15/01/2021 16:26

Here is what Chansley wrote and left on Pence's desk.

"It's only a matter of time. Justice is coming"

Threatening and ominous.
Hope he's getting used to non-organic food, he might need to...

Sorry DGR, missed your post there. Was to a pp.

They also said Chansley suffers from mental illness and is a regular drug user, according to prosecutors' detention memo.

Nobody hates Trump supporters more than the Trumps. It’s obvious that many of the people there were vulnerable, but who cares if they end up dead or in jail? Giuliani was just making a ‘Game of Thrones’ reference. It can’t be his fault if they took him at his word...

The president would not have been less responsible for inciting a riot if half the people at the Capitol were antifa.

It's almost funny that he was upset his supporters were "low class". I guess like attracts like, Donald.

ListeningQuietly · 15/01/2021 16:32

Just for Trump's high class supporters at the Capitol

@merrymouse

I mean funny how your jumping up to dismiss this person as a general anarchist right cos omg could never be left wing

No, we are reading the links.

I don’t think ‘anarchist’ covers it. At best he is ‘troubled’. He has an account called ‘riotporn’. Either way he was there because Trump advertised a fight and he seems to like fights.

Where did Trump advertise a fight? Show me?

The FBI already said they knew protests were planned before the day happened.

And he identifies himself as left wing so either way its fair to point out rioting wasn't just by right wing people like majority of msm and everyone is saying

Roussette · 15/01/2021 16:39

cycling I think, if my memory serves me correctly I have linked his speech annotated.

But in case that wasn't enough, please do read this thread, honestly it will be worth your time.

He called for his followers to attend and then he told them what to do.

A deep dive into Trump's incitement to insurrection.

cycling he might identify as left wing, but if you read the links provided you would see that the groups he identifies with put out warnings against him in November.

The FBI already said they knew protests were planned before the day happened..

Yes Trump advertised these protests and told people they needed to fight, and people turned up with guns and people were killed.

If you can explain why that isn’t advertising a fight perhaps Trump could hire you. He is having difficulty finding representation.

Hopefully some of them will realise that Trump was not good for the USA

The World Service had a "Hardtalk" this morning with Alan Dershowitz. It was, erm, interesting.

What a remarkably rude person he is, to be sure. Also a person who rants just a little.

Roussette · 15/01/2021 16:50

Not being provocative... but really what is the point in talking about one possibly left wing protestor, when there were thousands and thousands of Trump supporters answering his call.

Taken from Wiki

"Trump announced plans for a rally before the January 6 vote count to continue his challenge to the validity of several states' election results. On December 18, Trump announced on Twitter, "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"

The Wiki page makes interesting reading actually

Right but many people call protests that isnt someone advertising riots.

We have protests being organised here and advertised but telhats not them advertising riots.

See this is the problem you say well whats the point its only one left wing person. Right let's juet dismiss it shall we it doesn't count and doesn't suit the narrative that its all right wing protestors.

Every person counts just like votes do, cant dismiss that one vote.

If msm want to saybits all Right wing people then they are wrong

When the Americans liberated my DFs village, all the children were told to go into the streets and cheer the jeeps as they drove through. The GIs all dished out sweets like there was no tomorrow. (They also left tonnes of live ammunition behind, but that's another story).

Roussette · 15/01/2021 17:05

Well.... he's hardly likely to tell them to riot, even as thick as Trump is, he tries his best not to implicate himself.

You're sounding a bit silly now to be honest...
One left wing supporter versus 20-50,000 Trump supporters. Not dismissing it. This solitary individual should have the full force of the law thrown at him for inciting violence. I have said this 3 times now so off with you saying I am dismissing it.

Let's put it better for you. 25,000 Trump rioters. 1 left wing rioter.
