There’s still stuff coming out about this.

1) Bombs were left during the invasion. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-50k-reward-pipe-bombs-capit...

2) Weapons were recovered. https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/13-arrested-5-weapons-reco...

That’s weapons recovered. How many more were carrying?

Also there’s this: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/10/us/politics/capitol-arres...

Jake Angeli carried a spear. Several weapons recovered from Eric Munchel.

>Jake Angeli carried a spear.

I honestly cannot tell if you are being sarcastic here.

He literally was carrying a spear with a flag tied to it. And if you're implying that a spear isn't a real weapon, the officer who died was beaten with a flag and a fire extinguisher, so I'd say a spear is dangerous enough.

So because some people at the entire rally were armed means everyone storming the capitol was also armed? I’ve heard that very same bad statistics argument used as to why trump lost the election.

Causation != correlation. I did not see any overt firearms or weapons on the people storming the capitol building. It will be hard, because it goes against your beliefs.. but I challenge you to find those armed people in the various live streams that captured the event.

I don’t have any beliefs about this. A violent mob invaded the capital. Some of them carried weapons. I’m not claiming they were all armed or that they were filmed using the weapons.

Although they certainly did attack police officers. With flag poles, ladders, fire extinguishers, pepper spray.

I’ll leave it there.

And killed a police officer. By beating him to death. With American flags and a fire extinguisher. They were still beating him long after he was down.

Yup, and DC was also on fire, nearly burned down by reckless protesters in May! Maybe we should have a larger police presence in our nations capitol to prevent all these insurrections?

“As soon as they hit the fence line, the fight was on,” Sund said. “Violent confrontations from the start. They came with riot helmets, gas masks, shields, pepper spray, fireworks, climbing gear — climbing gear! — explosives, metal pipes, baseball bats. I have never seen anything like it in 30 years of events in Washington.”

Seems like the mob was pretty well armed.

You're trying to have an argument with someone else who has a different opinion than me. I've never said that BLM protestors are well within their rights to burn down buildings or that we shouldn't have police protect the nation's capital.

Not only do I not have these opinions, I haven't seen those opinions expressed here.

Re:YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel by jacquesm on Monday January 11, 2021 @02:20AM (#25725761)
A bunch of people just invaded your seat of government, killed an officer, quite possibly had much worse plans than what they actually did which only barely got avoided because the elected representatives got to safety and a suicide bomber just blew up half an office block and you are going on about bonfires in this thread as though there is some kind of equivalency. And all that before we're getting into why they did all that: a pack of lies versus many many decades of actual oppression. Stop already and re-calibrate your sense of what is normal and what isn't, because if you don't you are at risk of becoming part of the problem.

This thread is about the youtube channel of one of the instigators of this insane action against your elected officials being banned. The BLM riots - which certainly had bad aspects - are off-topic and any attempt to drag them in here is simply whataboutism.

Left wing protests always follow a long worn script that doesn't include murdering police officers.
Re:YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel by o-__-o on Sunday January 10, 2021 @11:44PM (#25724635)
There were three separate bonfires in DC in May. In that case, DC was also burning back then from angry mobs of protesters.

My point is the narrative. Take a step back and observe and claim the wrong done by both parties instead of saying one is right and one is wrong.

Re:YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel by wilsynet on Monday January 11, 2021 @12:13AM (#25724845)
With all due respect, you don’t know anything about me. When BLM protestors burn down a Footlocker, I say they did something wrong. But I also don’t assume that all BLM protestors are violent. And I don’t assume all Republicans are violent.

But all the people who invaded the capitol? They all invaded the capitol. Let’s be clear about that.

My god, bonfires?

I heard that those black people had the audacity to burn WHITE(!!) fluffy confectionery over those bonfires!!

For the people who did not storm the capitol building, sure, but a lot of jurisdictions have laws where everyone involved is responsible for the worst that the group does, so getaway drivers don't get off Scott free if one of their mates murders somebody during a robbery.

If there was somebody armed during this crime, they should all be held responsible for it

Re:YouTube bans Steve Bannon's podcast channel by perl4ever on Monday January 11, 2021 @02:31AM (#25725835)
Aka "felony murder".

I am not a lawyer, but as I understand it, in some circumstances, a group of people that commit a felony during which someone dies, can all be charged with murder, even if none of them intended to kill and only one of them actually did.

This is kind of controversial and not the case in all jurisdictions.
