The latest anti-liberal rant thread (get your daily dose here)

[Forward Observer]

@Chilon.

Officer Sicknick did not die from injuries received on Jan 6th as was widely misreported by the media. Your link is from an old article that evidently never got corrected. At one point the media even reported that he suffered injuries form being hit with a fire extinguisher--once again false. He did get pepper sprayed but the coroner said there were no lasting effects from that. An autopsy revealed that he had no injuries but instead died from two successive strokes which occurred the day after the riots. For some reason the coroners report was kept from the public until April which is probably why some incorrect original reports still can be found on the internet.

On April 19, 2021, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of the District of Columbia issued a press release about the death of Brian Sicknick. It said that the manner of death was natural and the cause of death was "acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar arterythrombosis" (two strokes at the base of the brain stem caused by an artery clot).^[31][29] The term "natural" was used to indicate a death caused by a disease alone; and if an injury contributed to the manner of death, it would not be considered natural.^[31] It took more than 100 days to release these results from the January autopsy.^[25] The full autopsy report was not released to the public.^[31]

Whether the stress of the event contributed to the stroke is pretty speculative at this point.

The reason for the occupation was to stop a legislative process they didn’t like but couldn’t stop through democratic means

Yeah, I didn't follow this closely (why should I) but in that aspect the actions are similar, and it's the most important aspect. Even if "business continued" the close proximity of a large mob has to be intimidating. Maybe less so than when they want to come and hang you, but still.

[chilon]

They need to prove what they’ve been claiming for months, which is that Jan 6 was a coup.

That's not the purpose of the commission or the hearings. The purpose is to investigate and lay a foundation for potential DOJ prosecutions of additional criminal activity related to Jan. 6 and make it public.

@Chilon.

Fair enough. Thanks for the correction. It doesn't change the overall point though.

[Lord Thesaurian]

The committee including the chairman has explicitly called it a coup and claims to have evidence Trump and his allies engaged in a criminal conspiracy to accomplish that, so your assertion is false.

The only useful thing in that video (I didn't watch it all) is the part where those idiots (<=== gender neutral word) say that misgendering someone is not the end of the world.

Sooo... the whole thing about Trump lashing at the wheel and the secret agent was not true. Waaaay to shoot your credibility on the foot people. Now a ton of people will claim everything else is bullcrap.

Not true?? All I saw was claims by former Secret Service agents. In fact one of the agents directly says that Trump lunging for the wheel wasn't impossible just unlikely.

Very unlikely because there's a divider. So, if it is unlikely he could squeeeeeze over the opening of the divider to grab the wheel, the allegations that he would bring his other hand to grab the throat of the secret agent is impossible.
Not to mention that if the agent was fighting off Trump, he would have crushed the car.

The agent doesn't say very unlikely. Even if the claims of this agent were true at best these allegations are unlikely not impossible. It's only impossible if Trump lunging toward the wheel itself is impossible which the agent admits is not impossible to achieve.

[Cyclops]

The choking story is hearsay from so e cloen who wasnt there. Lets hear the Secret Service details evidence. Is that allowed?

[Cope]

It's a fantastical story based on hearsay which first-hand witnesses claim they are willing to testify against under oath. So of course, senior Democrats rushed to promote it as credible and "courageous".

[Pontifex Maximus]

Remember when Kavanaugh was a serial frat boy rapist until he wasn't? Remember when Trump paid Russian hookers to piss all over him in a night of decadence? Remember when Russia stole the 2016 election from Killary? Remember when the mainstream media ran with all of those stories for months and years despite all evidence to the contrary? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[Sir Adrian]

This whole ex special agent story is transparent light accelerates when passing through it.

[Heathen Hammer]

Every article from Western media" According to sources we can't present person our owners hate is very very bad and does very very bad things. Only conspiracy theory incels would question us. Just trust us."

BLM is too quick to make police the enemy. In this case, the police IMO acted reasonably. It took a mixed race woman that was victimized by the man the BLM were supporting for this story to make headlines. If she was white, she would be ignored as a Karen by the protesters.
Deplorable situation.

Indianapolis Colts General Manager Chris Ballard expressed his disappointment and anger at all of the mass shootings that have been happening across the United States Tuesday afternoon shortly after his team reported to Grand Park Events Center in Westfield for training camp.

"It blows my mind away that an 18-year-old kid can walk in and buy an AK-15 automatic weapon. It makes no sense. Zero."

These moonbats are beyond parody.

"Moonbats" being people who don't want mass shootings to happen, correct?

Nope, just anti-gun activists, that want to make mass shooters life more easy by disarming their potential victims.

Their statements aren't grounded in reality. It isn't anywhere as easy as he makes it seem to go out and purchase a weapon like an AR-15 or Kalashnikov-type rifle.

The AK-15, however, is a real weapon, but is a fully automatic proper military rifle used by the Russian Forces. There is no way this model of weapon will ever show up at a US gun store, between the embargo on Russian-manufactured weapons as a consequence of the Ukraine Invasion and the the Firearms Protection Act of 1986 which makes it illegal to sell or own full-automatic weapons manufactured after 1986.

Just because he isn't well-versed in military hardware doesn't make him a "moonbat". He was likely referring to the Robb Elementary Shooting, where an 18-year old did purchase an AR-15 style rifle to use for the shooting that very day.
