And huzzah!

Or “Folsom Prison Blues”? How about “I Fought the Law (And the Law Won)”?

Snowball in hell. The words “Trump” and “Charity” don’t have a very good track record.

There are videos being shown from the January 6 insurrection and it shows police escorting the “shaman” around the building peacefully.
Saw this on twitter, he wasn’t treated like a criminal at all.

Tucker has released some of the video. Personally, I didn’t think Chansley was guilty of anything other than trespassing.

Trespassing . . . and walking around the Capitol with a fucking spear.

So that’s what that style of spear is.

I guess in retrospect it should have been obvious.

Your honor, I’d like to enter into evidence this video that shows my client peacefully mowing his lawn and playing football with his buddies. I know that the prosecution has shown video of him robbing a bank and tasing a guard. But it’s obvious from my specially chosen video that my client is just a peaceful family man.

I have to add, I found the wording very amusing.

“There are videos being shown”. Nice use of passive voice there. Sounds almost as good as “people are saying”.

And nice avoidance of anything about the source of the videos (lying liar who lies Tucker Carlson) and who he got them from (partisan hack), and which other media got access to them (none)

“There are videos being shown”. Freaking hilarious.

I’ve wondered about their level of racism since I noticed they had a lot of Hispanics in their group. While most people know Hispanics have a broad range of races, racists usually lump them all under the non-white category. The same with Muslims. Seems weird that they don’t outright ban them. Equally weird if they don’t ban gay people.

Enrique Terrio is still their leader, despite being a FBI informant. He also has said the following, so who the hell knows.

In regard to his views on extremist groups and ideologies, Tarrio has been quoted as saying, "I denounce white supremacy. I denounce anti-Semitism. I denounce racism. I denounce fascism. I denounce communism and any other -ism that is prejudiced towards people because of their race, religion, culture, tone of skin. In regard to his own ethnicity, he has said, "I’m pretty brown, I’m Cuban. There’s nothing white supremacist about me.

That footage shows the cops escorting Chansley outnot giving him a tour.

As with everything Tucker showed, the conclusion he hopes you’ll reach—that the cops thought that those who entered the Capitol on January 6 were just dandy—is a lie.

can you cite that?

I think this does a pretty good job:

Relevant portion:

Thats the same that I read before as well, I didn’t know if there was one that specifically stated ‘escorting out’.

I think “asking them to leave” and then following him around as he continues to be an ahole is in the ballpark of “escorting out”. They were outnumbered and afraid of escalating violence so they didn’t throw him on the ground and cuff him as they’ve would’ve done during “normal” times.

They could have told him to put down the weaponized American flag, and then shot him if he didn’t comply. Can’t help but think that if he were a person of color that would have happened. He would have been desribed as a intimidating voodoo witch doctor instead of some type of cosplaying Shaman.

Tucker has mislead people.

I get that - and agree with it.
