I think we're going to be see a lot of these people killing themselves.

This is such a tragic and f'ed up situation.

A lot of them are painting themselves into a corner. They are isolating themselves from friends and family. Many keep latching onto these Q happenings that never come to fruition. I saw something where they think the military is going to take control of all media on Sunday and they are going to air confessions and 500K indictments from around the world in 8-hour shifts for 10 days, and then they are going to install some sort of global leadership structure.

These people are incredibly deluded. I mentioned a couple days ago a couple of women in the post office were talking in hushed tones about how ALL media was going to be shut down that afternoon and that they had better make sure they have at least two or three weeks of food stocked up. I guess they thrive on this kind of shit.

These folks are the 21st Century’s version of the 700 Club adherents.

Here’s one for the Darwin Awards if this is true (only saw it the once so not sure how true this is).

i kept hearing about this, but didn't know the details. who knows in this day and age if true, but that's just a horrible way to go if so. but hey, if you bring a taser to a "peaceful rally", something's amiss, and maybe you got what you deserved?

These people are genuinely surprised they're getting in trouble. I think that's very symptomatic of the cult. They believe that Trump won as strongly as I believe I have ten fingers and ten toes. They probably believed either that the coup would succeed and Trump would have them to the White House for hamburders or that Trump and the GOP would see to it that they would be let go. Imagine their surprise when they're facing prison time and Trump/GOP, rather than coming to their rescue, is saying that they're Antifa. I don't feel sorry for them, but they really have been indoctrinated and the fact that they think Trump would look out for them when they are no longer of use to him is evidence of that.

Also, to steal from a Tweet I saw recently: They thought they were going to go into the capital, kill and/or kidnap Pence and Pelosi, Trump would be president for four more years, and they'd get on a plane the next day and then just go back to work and their lives.

I don’t like saying anyone that died got what they deserved (rapists and murderers being some of the exceptions), but as things were happening I did say that anyone that breached the building should be shot, and (supposedly) this guy made it to the inner chambers, so in that sense it was what he deserved as well as the (again, supposedly) fact he was armed.

yeah, being anti-death penalty, i lean towards that as well. but if you die while participating in a crime? maybe deserved is a bit much. but definitely no sympathy.

imagine the embarrassment of when people ask "so how did your dad die?".

Thanks for the clarification, so I have to walk back my last statement about this guy. I know it’s not a popular viewpoint here, but if he didn’t attempt to or actually breach the building he was just a protester in my eyes.

That said, the woman that was shot I still have no problem with, given the facts around her death. It’s sad that she died, but she made her choice.

Yeah there were clearly a lot of people that attended to protest without storming the capitol. I don't have a problem with those idiots.

do we feel sorry for extremists who have been brainwashed into hating america?

you know what we should be doing? start calling these fucks what they are: radical republican terrorists.

I certainly feel for their families and any other innocents in their lives.

Agreed. They have the right to protest, even if they are idiots for supporting Trump. But those who stormed the Capitol deserve everything that's coming to to them and that they show any surprise if further evidence of idiocy.

I also agree that it really must suck for those who are related to but don't adhere to the beliefs of these seditionists.

absolutely agree.

I was surprised that they used a real name in that story. Kevin Gleeson was a guy who did die last week in the riot, of a heart attack and not electrocution of the testicles. I didn't think any of that story would be true. Now any website with that picture and name floating around is probably open to a lawsuit. Our 10c dues just went up.

I bet he died before he had the chance to "storm" the capitol. I do not believe any loved ones stories regarding these people. They want to paint a nice picture of them and I would want to do the same if I was in that position. A quick search on his social media posts tells me he was all in.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-supporters-who-died-during-capitol-riot-left-online-presence-n1253400

“Kevin was an advocate of President Trump and attended the event on January 6, 2020 to show his support,” the family said in a statement. “He was not there to participate in violence or rioting, nor did he condone such actions.”

Greeson appeared to be active on Parler, the “Twitter for conservatives,” where an account with his name and picture lodged threats against Democrat and Republican politicians who Greeson said did not sufficiently support Trump.

Responding to a post that floated the “militia option” to keep Trump in office, Greeson wrote, “I’m in.. call me I have guns and ammo!” He interacted with posts from the far-right Proud Boys, telling them to give Antifa “hell.”

Greeson also said he hoped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would get Covid-19 and die, and on Dec. 17 wrote, “Let’s take this f------ Country BACK!! Load your guns and take to the streets!”

I wish his family luck with their lawsuits, and would also advise them not to hold their collective breath for a favorable outcome.

at first i had the same thought (why believe the wife?), i see what you're saying, but a lot of what people say online, as we well know, is mostly just big talk. when it comes to action, most just sit back and let others.

if the statements by witnesses, including paramedics, say he wasn't armed, and wasn't near the entrance of the capitol, i have no reason to believe one way or the other.

If you just take that day of his and judge him off of those actions then yes I agree fully if the reports are true. That said the online rhetoric is straight garbage and posts like that is the reason why Jan 6th ended up the way it did. I am not saying you disagree just that his action that day is not the whole picture.
