Breaking News January 6th Stop the Steal Rally & Capitol Breaching/Storming

[The Immortal Watch Dog]

I made a meme about this terrible day... Open to any buyers...

Oh hey Buenos Aires every other election!

You sure are trying hard to excuse the shooting death of an unarmed woman. Not to mention the lack of transparency in this case. You're not a Fed, are you?

 

[Bacle]

 

[DarthOne]

Oh boy. This will make everything calm down for sure!

I mean, there's no way that the Democrats won't use this as a way to squash dissent and make an example of 'troublesome and radicalized individuals.' Or put elements of the right, already on edge from the past year or so even more tense and defensive.

...in case it wasn't screamingly obvious, I was being sarcastic.

Officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt to reveal his identity in interview with Lester Holt

Gee, I thought that revealing his identity was tantamount to murder. It sure is convenient this guy changed his mind and is being interviewed during the Afghanistan debacle.

 

[ShieldWife]

These people are trash and tyrants. No mention, of course, of the leftists in power who have openly called for violence and terrorism, calls which have indeed lead to actual violence.

Officer who shot Ashli Babbitt speaks after months in hiding: 'I saved countless lives'

But it isn't right now. Why is that? Oh right, because those riots were ginned up by BLM and Antifa agitators.

 

[Arlos]

Even without any of the context surrounding it, saying of yourself that you « showed utmost courage » is a bit meh, maybe it’s a cultural thing, but even if someone had shown actual courage, that would probably still lower my evaluation of said person a bit.

"Today at noon, Look Ahead America will be holding a press conference outside the United Nations in NYC where we will be filing a formal complaint with the UN's Human Rights Committee over the Biden administration abusing the human rights of January 6 political prisoners. "

Spoiler: document image

I applaud Matt and Cara for at least trying a new tactic because Russia and others will not be silent on this because they can publicly embarrass the Biden administration with this. Our fucking Supreme Court abandoned us. We might as well try something outside the box.

4chan?

Doing something they think is inappropriate gets you turned over to an angry prosecutor and they'll give the prosecutor more than enough for a judge to say "the key to unlock your prison cell has been discarded and forgetten about."

 

[ShieldWife]

Wow, this is scary stuff. The Democrats are going full authoritarian with lightning speed.

 

[Bigking321]

Fascists are gonna Fasc.

I just hope the people on the left wake up to what's happening.

Otherwise in a couple years they're going to be talking about why they had to put anyone to the right of Lenin into concentration camps to stop the nazis. Without any irony or self awareness at all. Being nazis in fact to stop the people they claim are nazis.

"We need to control the elections to ensure the right people win so the democratic process remains intact and we can progress forwards." Is literally how they think.

In other news, I found a really cool article showing off how the media and Wikipedia are "correcting the record" and setting up the narrative.

When the Capitol Was Attacked, Wikipedia Went to Work | Washington Monthly

Inside the hive mind that works—and holds lessons for Big Tech.

washingtonmonthly.com

You only need to read the first paragraph to realize how full of shit it all is.

On January 6, Jason Moore was working from his home in Portland, Oregon and flipping between CNN and MSNBC as Donald Trump supporters gathered outside the U.S. Capitol. “Watching what was unfolding in D.C. on cable news, I found it initially fascinating, and then, later, terrifying,” he told me.

This "professional Wikipedia contributor" and "political commentator as a hobby" watched it all unfold on CNN and MSNBC. While in Portland none the less. Quite interesting picture for a "unbiased" source huh? Someone far away, watching on MSM progressive outlets from one of the most far-left cities in the USA. But what really kills any excuse is this later point.

This appeal to reputable sources springs from the ethos of Wikipedia content. According to English Wikipedia’s “Verifiability” policy, an editor can be sure something is true, but if it’s not verifiable with a reputable source, it shouldn’t be added to a page. The site has a chart of publications categorized by the current consensus view of their reliability. The consensus can and does change. In 2018, for example, Breitbart was “deprecated” by a consensus of editors, meaning it could no longer be cited as a reference for factual matters. A year prior, editors had made a similar decision about the Daily Mail, a British tabloid.

That links to Wikipedia's reliable sources link, and oh boy does it look EXACTLY like what you think it would. BBC, CNN, ABC, BuzzFeed, MSNBC and more are categorized as reliable and solid green. Fox is only reliable if it has nothing to do with politics or science, and you know all the other suspects are gonna be denied.

Justified shooting or fair game? Shooter of Ashli Babbitt makes shocking admission

He proceeded to demolish the two official reviews that cleared him.

thehill.com

To quote Instapundit:

In the eyes of the establishment — including those silent “law professors and experts” — she deserved to die because she was a Trump supporter. It’s all about that.

Plus, the usual apparatchik entitlement: “Politico reported that Byrd previously was subjected to a disciplinary review when he left his Glock 22 service weapon in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center complex. He reportedly told other officers that his rank as a lieutenant and his role as commander of the House chambers section would protect him and that he expected to ‘be treated differently.'”

Well, he wasn’t wrong. But he should pay.

Justified shooting or fair game? Shooter of Ashli Babbitt makes shocking admission

thehill.com

To quote Instapundit:

It's certainly a hard conclusion to buy. The usual standard for a justified shooting is "imminent threat", if someone is not on the verge of inflicting serious bodily harm to another person in that very moment, you cannot shoot them. Emphasis on serious harm, mere injury is not enough to make a shooting justified (this why regular rioters can throw rocks or tear gas back at police without fear of being gunned down, a rock can hurt but its not likely to cause serious injury, particularly not to an armored riot cop).

Hence why Byrd and the documents are so vague about what happened and why, as opposed to more clearly justified cases that we're used to seeing where the issue is obvious. A weapon, an injured person they were attacking, etc.

Context? In a bit out of rhenlooo today lol

Is this the guy who shot babbitt? Did Pelosi say something to him?

Mike Byrd was the guy that shot Babbitt, yes. I'm not clear what razor is referring to, though, and I think he's just being excessively conspiratorial.

The real issue is, obviously, optics. The rioters didn't intentionally kill anyone, and the few accidental deaths that can be attributed to them were other rioters. Babbitt was the only person who lost their life do the intentional actions of another human being, and it would look really bad if at the end of the day, the government had more blood on it's hands then the rioters, particularly given the ongoing attempt to spin the rioting into some sort of violent insurrection that nearly toppled the nation somehow.

Therefore, Babbitt's shooting must be justified, regardless of the actual facts.

I wish I was kidding you.

And that's the nicest description I could give of Bush right now.
