Jan 6 suggests those are merely tourists, not terrorists, even if they are trying to assassinate the VP.

All of the people there were trying to assassinate the VP? How come no one's been charged for assassination attempt?

"According to an F.B.I. affidavit the panel highlighted ... a government informant said that members of the far-right militant group the Proud Boys told him they would have killed Pence 'if given the chance.' The rioters on January 6th almost had that chance, coming within forty feet of the Vice-President as he fled to safety."

Sorry I didn't catch that, how many? And government informant? This is your source?

What is your argument? That not every person there was trying to kill Mike Pence?

There sure were a lot of people in that crowd chanting "Hang Mike Pence" but I guess if your point is just that not all of them were doing it then I suppose you're right.

College students posting memes online is not the same as a crowd of people (some armed) forcing their way into a government building chanting "Hang Mike Pence" knowing that Mike Pence was inside.

Be serious.

I am serious, given the chance I believe these students would assassinate an ice agent.

Do you see how you are on the lower end of a slippery slope?

If you don't understand the difference between a credible, immediate threat to someone's life and someone posting a meme online you're too uninformed to be having this conversation and I won't be responding further.

And when they do, they should be charged.

I wouldn't bother. denuoweb2 is trying to circumvent bans or something I don't know by creating second accounts or more. I don't know why or maybe they know they are losing karma or something, I don't know, but they are lying and acting 100% like a troll. I wouldn't engage and just flag them. They aren't worth investing time or energy in.

Sure seemed like it. All those people chanting to kill the VP? Sure seems like it.

> How come no one's been charged for assassination attempt?

Corruption? Doesn't change the facts. They were trying to kill the VP.

Pretend what you want, there were 1500+ that day that certain people said were just tourists.

It was a riot and attack on the capitol in support of an attempt to overturn a legitimate election result. Isn't that bad enough? Why do you have to lie and claim that it was an assassination attempt on Mike Pence?
Re:Shifts in U.S. Social Media Use, 2020–2024: Decline, Frag... by jasonlotito on Sunday February 08, 2026 @08:47PM (#46940653)
I didn't make the claim. They made that claim when they tried. On camera. For the world to see.

So you're suggesting there were 1,500 potential assassins? Record yourself and play it back and tell me if you agree with what you said.

"1,500 people were trying to kill the VP" - mentally ill person

Re:Shifts in U.S. Social Media Use, 2020–2024: Decline, Frag... by jasonlotito on Sunday February 08, 2026 @08:49PM (#46940662)
That's 100% not what I'm saying or claiming and you are 100% lying and making stuff up.

At best you are a troll. At best.

I do agree with what you, denuoweb, said though, you are a mentally ill person.

Edit: Oh, I see, you are trying to circumvent a ban or something and creating multiple sock puppet accounts or something? No.
