Interesting article. All over the board.Here is a military opinion
Former acting SECDEF blames media ‘hysteria’ for his response to Jan. 6 insurrection
Christopher Miller, now a private citizen, made his case before lawmakers.www.militarytimes.com
Still, he emphasized, the Guard arrived as quickly as is possible during such a large-scale mobilization, and only when it became clear that there were not enough civilian law enforcement to push back, after rioters began ransacking Capitol offices.
If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck! Call me king of the hill G!By the time the guard was mobilized, all of the "insurrectionists" had voluntarily returned home for supper.
You pick the damnedest hills to die on, Bob.
A 3 hour "insurrection"...lmao
If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck!
It doesn't even floatThat's the point, Bob.
It doesn't.

More than 2,000 were injured in last year's "peaceful protests" (riots). And that was only thru July.I don't know what video you were watching but you must have been watching with blinders.

They must have tripped over selfie sticks
See "assault weapon"It's like somebody thinks they learned a new big word, but they have no idea how to use it in a sentence so they shoe horn it in trying to sound smart.

Try reading my posts. I have stated that attacking police officers during BLM riots should be considered insurrection. They are attacking agents of the government who are following government orders.More than 2,000 were injured in last year's "peaceful protests" (riots). And that was only thru July.
Did they fall over their selfie sticks as well?
Read the definition G. You are the one who is twisting the meaning around. No one on here can show me how 1/6 doesn't meet the criteria of being an insurrection. You keep saying I don't know what insurrection means or how to use it in a sentence? Stop deflecting and show me where I am wrong. I didn't make the word up. Do you personally know a couple of the fruitcakes that were there? What is your fascination with them? Do you envy them and wish you were there with them? I don't get it.That's the point, Bob.
It doesn't.
No one on here can show me how 1/6 doesn't meet the criteria of being an insurrection.
What is your problem? Why complain about the BLM riots and give the 1/6 fiasco a pass? Why do you consider one better than the other? You think you are so smart? What part of 1/6 makes it not an insurrection? Just because you don't want it to be is not an answer. Because it will make the right look bad isn't an answer. It happened and there is no taking it back. Why do you want those goofballs to be members of your party? What good could they offer you?See "assault weapon"

What part of 1/6 makes it not an insurrection?
How irrelevant is that? You think there should be a one size fits all? How often in the history of the civilized world has there been a collection of idiots who thought something like this was a good idea? I will give you the attack on the police station in Portland this past summer as an example.It's pretty telling that in the entire history of the civilized world you can't point to a single "insurrection" similar in size, scope, duration, or results.
Where does it say anything about overthrowing the government?No one was trying to overthrow the government.
Did trump denounce the Jan 6th insurrection? NOWhere does it say anything about overthrowing the government?
"a violent uprising against an authority or government."
That would be a coup
"a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government."
The fiasco to me would have been worse than any BLM event ifWhat is your problem? Why complain about the BLM riots and give the 1/6 fiasco a pass? Why do you consider one better than the other?

It had to be something. If I wanted to blame Trump, I would said it was sedition. It was definitely not a simple case of trespassing. The Senate report which was released a week ago is the latest thing we have to go on. I read insurrection in it. They claim there was planning, violence and an attack on our government. I wonder how the Trump made me do it defense will play out in the courts?The fiasco to me would have been worse than any BLM event if
Actions of prepared individuals to take over government. There is always a leader
The preparation for a conflict to take over that build.
People holding portions of the building
Weapons to carry out a take over of that building
Everyone just left on their own. They even promoted themselves being there. Our Courts will decide what is in store for everyone.
Reminds me of Russia Russia Russia. You can put the two impeachment in there also. How about arresting Roger Stone. Spying on the Trump Campaign and on and on.It had to be something.

Charges and successful prosecution. That's the barometer. This whole fiasco sticks of Democratic rancor.It had to be something. If I wanted to blame Trump, I would said it was sedition.

What does one have to do with the other? The things you have mentioned are more open to interpretation. 1/6 is video documented. There is no doubt what was going on and you can see what was happening. Impeachment is a joke. Party before country. No honest effort to get at the truth. It was the same for Clinton. Just a waste of tax payer money.Reminds me of Russia Russia Russia. You can put the two impeachment in there also. How about arresting Roger Stone. Spying on the Trump Campaign and on and on.
It will come down to who is prosecuting and who and what kind of defense is offered up. Will politics be involved? Trial by jury or judge's decision?Charges and successful prosecution. That's the barometer. This whole fiasco sticks of Democratic rancor.
Maybe it was the fact that you suggested........You must have me confused with someone else.
when I was talking about the left playing games with what happened last summer and on 1/6. ("uprising" vs "insurrection")Or could they be wantonly dishonest in one circumstance but telling the truth in the other?
The thing about the Guard..Interesting article. All over the board.
"Under further questioning, from Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., Miller offered that while he did believed that Trump’s rallying cry to march on the Capitol did contribute to the riot, it was clear that there was planned coordination when it came to infiltrating the complex, based on some of the gear carried by the rioters."
Still, he emphasized, the Guard arrived as quickly as is possible during such a large-scale mobilization, and only when it became clear that there were not enough civilian law enforcement to push back, after rioters began ransacking Capitol offices.
“I fervently believe the military should not be utilized in such scenarios other than as a last resort and only when all other assets have been expended,” he sad. “I am a student of history and the Department of Defense has an extremely poor record in supporting domestic law enforcement,” including the 1970 massacre by National Guardsmen of four students at Kent State University.
Officials have said publicly since Jan. 6 that then-President Donald Trump had given Miller full authority to activate the Guard ahead of the planned “Stop the Steal” rally, removing the need for him to consult the president on the day.
There is a lot you can read into this article. Still sounds like the riot qualifies as an insurrection to me. President Trump apparently used the insurrection act by giving Miller full authority.
The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law[1] that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guardtroops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion.
Maybe it was the fact that you suggested........
when I was talking about the left playing games with what happened last summer and on 1/6. ("uprising" vs "insurrection")
Both examples were riots...... plain and simple.
Isn't it crazy we think about judicial system and politics? The Jan 6 event is good for political gain. Do you agree with me on that statement?It will come down to who is prosecuting and who and what kind of defense is offered up. Will politics be involved? Trial by jury or judge's decision?
