Do you consider the 1/6 Trump Capitol Hill riots to be a terrorist attack?

[Anonymous]

Do you consider them to be a Terrorist attack

Yeah I do see them as a terrorist attack

No I don't see them as a terrorist attack

[Dragonpurple]

I do not even consider them riots, more like a unorganized mob. Riots was what happened when people took over over state capital buildings, burned down police stations, conquered sections of a city and left unfettered to commit whatever crimes they wanted.

If this was a terrorist attack, then everything that happened in 2020 is also terroristic attacks.

Only difference is here a few hundred elected official got scared, but 2020 millions of people were terrified by what was happening and millions were hurt, attacked or injured.

[goaded]

"millions were hurt, attacked or injured" LOL.

Millions took part in the protests (25 million). Nothing like that number got hurt, attacked, or injured.

[888theGreat]

@goaded millions were effected by blocked roads and damage to property. i would have ordered them shot. I would have made examples out of them.

[goaded]

@888theGreat Nope, still not millions. Just like there weren't any "cities in flames". There were fires, but they didn't affect whole cities.

[888theGreat]

@goaded Portland was taken over by thugs , that effected millions

[goaded]

@888theGreat So a few hundred people "took over" all 130 square miles of Portland and, what, beat up all the residents? The claim, by the way, was: "millions were hurt, attacked or injured", not "slightly inconvenienced".

[Dragonpurple]

@goaded Your thinking too small for your tiny brain.

I'm referring to everyone who was hurt financially, if the riots cost someone even ONE dollar in higher insurance rates due to the payout, they were hurt by the riots.

Sorry your puny brain is too damn small to think of the big picture but millions were affected and hurt. Even those who were blocked in traffic were hurt and harmed had their time STOLEN from them and will never be able to get that back, EVER.

That is theft, sorry you don't think certain things don't harm others but your wrong. BLM is a terrorist organization in the highest order. We should be able to drive through those crowds when they block roads cause they are all too retarded to know that roads are for cars and sidewalks are for people.

I support freedom to protest but holding people hostage in their cars is called KIDNAPPING, OJ got charged for just for not letting someone leave a hotel room, now imagine not being able to leave your car. Same thing.

Any tax payer that has their tax funds to rebuild destroyed property is a victim of them, so now tell me again how many people do you think were harmed by this, tax payers, insurance customers and stolen time.

This is just a tiny bit of the pie, there is still another million ways that people were hurt indirectly.

[Dragonpurple]

@goaded Oh and don't forget about all the victims of crimes when stupid cities decided to defund police, they are also victims of 2020 and the stupidity.

[goaded]

Oh, so now "hurt, attacked or injured" becomes "financially inconvenienced". Tell me, how much more than they asked for was allocated to the military by congress this year? $24 billion, wasn't it? I guess the whole country has been "hurt, attacked or injured".

[Dragonpurple]

@goaded You think increasing the military budget is the same thing as a bunch of rioting terrorists? they aren't even in the same hemisphere of being the same. Your not even comparing apples to oranges your comparing an apple to a sky scraper.

Any financial damage is considered "injured" as a result there are millions of victims of the BLM rioters.

We know this because there is always class action cases where millions of people get payouts because they are considered victims or injured by something a business did. Even if your payout is only ten dollars, you were injured by the business practices.

Same thing with BLM rioters, millions of injured.

The government increasing a specific budget injured no one.

Your a hopeless loser, I won't be commenting to your idiot ass anymore time, go fuck yourself.

[Leonharted]

If it was, there'd be more than one dead girl to show for it. I do find it funny how their could be violent riots against a federal courthouse with molotov cocktails being thrown at it for over 100 days straight in Portland, and that wasn't taken as seriously by Congress as a bunch of people walking around the building they happened to be in.

[Slartybartfast]

By definition, they attacked the Capitol because Trump told them to. He wanted to effect political change (overthrowing our democracy) using his cult of violent brown shirts. Which by definition is terrorism, but as he was once president it can be considered old fashioned treason as well.

[888theGreat]

more bull shit by a liberal ass hole

[Slartybartfast]

@888theGreat go back to burning books and wearing a white sheet. The south lost the civil war , Trump lost the election and tried to overthrow our democracy like the traitor and Russian asset he is.

[888theGreat]

you are a total idiot

[888theGreat]

It was bull shit. You had FBI tricking people to go in buildings , then had them doing violent things trying to get others to do violent things , then we had a fake call by Representatives that their lives were in danger (like Hillary said she was almost shot down over Iraq) . Nothing burger liberals trying make worse than when they rioted the whole summer killing people and burning cities down.

[goaded]

Just a normal day in the Capitol.

[QuietRunner]

It was already planned ahead of that day, some of it years or decades in the making.

If the local governments of each State would have had in-person voting with ID checks, most likely this could have be prevented. It was more than 20 minutes of a speech telling people to protest outside the Capitol.

When you have sit-ins, from day one impeach calls from Representatives, a narrative of Racism and Russian collusion without listening to the voters. Something will happen.

The BLM and Antifa protests of the prior summer prove it. For 3 days they attacked the Lafayette Square surrounding the White House. If you listen to one group, you should listen to all

By definition, both are terrorist attacks. Using violence and terror to achieve a political goal.

[jshm2]

Just because it was mostly White people involved, does not mean it could not have been a terrorist attack.

[ManHater]

You have to understand why this happened. People think locking up these people will fix it when it will not. It will happen again because the USA is not a democracy. There are many many reason why it is not a democracy. Voting for two parties? Why not have 4 parties?

[goaded]

How was it not? It was an act of unlawful violence. It was to overturn an election, which is a political objective.

Terrorism: The use of unlawful violence against people or property to achieve political objectives.

[888theGreat]

another lie

[888theGreat]

why are these people having their constitutional rights violated and had trials if they are guilty

[goaded]

@888theGreat Which is it? Are they "having their constitutional rights violated", or are they standing trial? Hint, it's the latter. The minnows have been dealt with, the fish are getting bigger as the crimes get more complex. You should watch Garland's speech to the DoJ.

[888theGreat]

They are being held without process or speedy trial , which is unconstitutional.

[goaded]

@888theGreat They're being held with due process and with as speedy a trial as anyone else gets.

[VikingWarLord]

9/11 being an INSIDE JOB was a terrorist event.
What happened on 1/6 was a joke

[FunkyMonkee]

No, just a bunch of psychotic antifa and blm assholes stirring shit!

[Anonymous]

No. It’s a protest that had gone awry. Vandalism that became disastrous.

[Anonymous]

I don't call them the Trump Riots. Only a very biased leftist would do that.

[Asker]

Hiw about Trump supporter riots?

[Opinion Owner]

When Antifa attacks someone, do you call it the Pelosi/Schumer supporter attack? The Biden attack?

[joeldalton]

I’d barely even call them riots.

[msc545]

Yes, of course it was.

[Cringe]

No I don't see them as a terrorist attack

[Anonymous]

Yes it is

[Still-alive]

Yes because it is

[Wise4myage]

No I sure don't. It wasn't even a riot.

[Asker]

Why not?

[Wise4myage]

It was a protest that got out of hand.

[goaded]

After a couple of weeks of planning and organising firearms over the border to be available if needed.

[Still-alive]

More gaslighting shit…
