BL Riots White House:
As Protests and Violence Spill Over, Trump Shrinks Back
www.nytimes.com

You see these weren't the first riots in DC, the White House, or the Capital. But they are the first to be called an "insurrection" and used a political fodder to imprison those that don't agree with the totalitarian regime.

Lumpers create a circus then complain like the clowns they are.

"Normalization? It's far, far worse than that."

"Beatification" seems more apt.

@#4 ... Normalization? It's far, far worse than that. ...

Meet some of the violent Jan. 6 rioters Donald Trump keeps calling 'hostages'
www.nbcnews.com

... Trump has made his defense of those incarcerated in Capitol attack cases a central piece of his 2024 campaign. Many are accused of assaulting police. Some others fled.

The way former President Donald Trump tells it, the men and women who stormed the Capitol because they believed his lies about the 2020 presidential election are "hostages" and "unbelievable patriots" who are being mistreated by the justice system.

But an NBC News review of hundreds of cases against Jan. 6 defendants found that just 15 people charged in connection with the Capitol attack are currently being held pretrial at the order of federal judges. That number of pretrial detainees has decreased in recent months, as more and more Jan. 6 defendants have taken plea deals or been found guilty, and as federal judges have been hesitant to hold new arrestees in pre-trial custody more than three years after the attack.

Though Trump said on Jan. 7, 2021, that "those who broke the law" during the Capitol riot would "pay," he has made his defense of incarcerated Jan. 6 defendants a major plank of his 2024 campaign. Trump has called Jan. 6 detainees "hostages" and even opens rallies by playing a recording from the "J6 Prison Choir." Trump has said he'll pardon "a large portion" of the rioters "very early on" if he wins in 2024 and recently vowed to "free the Jan. 6 Hostages" as one of his "first acts as your next President." ...

" they are the first to be called an "insurrection""

Why are you pretending the only insurrectionists were the ones OUTSIDE the Capitol when Trump's speech of the ellipse began?

This seems to be a repeated pattern from the J6 apologists: ignore the other six corrupt routes Trump was taking.

We have a judge condemning the normalization of J6.

Not surprised it's come to that...even while he's sending a perp to prison.

There will continue to be a fight to designate/classify J6 in a way this judge wants.

It's an uphill battle.

I suggested on the day of J6 that it would get dismissed pretty quickly. In actuality, it's maintained a stronger presence that I would have thought. More people have gone to jail that I thought would go. I commend the stomach and tenacity of law enforcement and our criminal justice system to continue on with these prosecution in the face of Trump and his supporters and their vitriol.

Mike Johnson says Jan. 6 rioters just 'happened to be walking through the building'
www.rawstory.com

... Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says some of the people in the halls of Congress during the January 6, 2021 insurrection were "innocent" and just happened to be there, walking about the building.

Some are viewing his remarks as a further push by Republicans to whitewash the attack, which led to an impeachment of Donald Trump and later criminal charges for the ex-president. ...
