So YOU are guessing they would have hurt him?
Would that stand uo in court?

I asked Mott what he thought.

What do you think they would have done? Were the gallows constructed outside just for Mike Pence?

I've been to a lot of demonstrations but I never remember anyone bringing "zip ties". What do you think they were for?

Gallows?
They built a gallows?

Sure did; there's a nice picture of it here: https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/national-news/capitol-mob-built-gallows-and-chanted-hang-mike-pence/

There's also a video there where the rioters are chanting: "Hang Mike Pence!"

That's not a functional gallows it's a couple of pieces of wood that's not capable of holding anything without falling over, it's purely symbolic.

I assume the noose hanging down from it is "symbolic" as well?

Looks like it was capable of holding a human being on it: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9157323/Shocking-video-shows-MAGA-mob-rifling-paperwork-Senate-chamber-erecting-gallows.html

Sure there should be a full investigation of whether some CP aided the rioters.

If those rioters had caught up with Sen. Schumer what do you think they would have done? Given him a stern talking to?

is there any reason to think otherwise? Why do you think the dems wont release the video? why do you think the dems did not charge the fbi operatives involved with agitating the crowd?

"Any reason"?

I don't know - the 150 police officers injured by the mob? The "hang Mike Pence" chants?

The one who "agitated the crowd" is at Margo Largo.

Again with your stupid tactic of calling people "liars" when that can be easily shown to be false:

""In total, more than 150 officers were injured in the attack: 86 Capitol Police officers reported injuries, the sources said, along with 65 members of the Metropolitan Police Department, Chief Robert Contee testified in January."

Have you no shame?

The right wing darlings who pointed guns at protestors have struck a plea deal:

"He pleaded guilty to fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor. His wife pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment.

They were sentenced to pay the maximum fines: $750 for him, $2,000 for her. The weapons they brandished will be destroyed as a condition of their pleas."

https://fox2now.com/ ...[text shortened]... community service and than a dismissal of charges DA Kim Gardner was willing to give them last year.

Maybe somebody finally got through to them that waving guns at a crowd is naughty. Very naughty.

using fake news as a source doesn't quite cut it.

We are on to that game

LMAO!

Well it's not something likely to be reported on OAN, Breitbart or the rest.

How about "around 140 injured" according to Fox News in a February article: https://www.foxnews.com/us/capitol-police-union-riot-hearing-dysfunction-crushed-spinal-discs-traumatic-brain-injuries

I doubt it; he's running for the US Senate based on nothing more than this incident and his slobbering devotion to the Donald. I'm sure they are counting on a probable pardon from the Republican Governor.

But hey they had to get up in court and admit their crimes under oath. That's something anyway and something right wingers here didn't think they'd ever do (you notice it's awful quiet here from their defenders last year like Earl).

Did any of the rioters that broke down the gate and trespassed on private property have to stand up in court and admit to their crimes?
