They vandalized, trespassed, broke and entered, and at worst assaulted people.
It was a riot. Rob and others keep calling it an "insurrection", but if it was it was a really shitty attempt.
Maybe a small handful can be rightfully accused of kidnapping, lock them up and throw away the key.
As for why I can't simply accept it on a personal level, this is why;
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JournoList
Responding to the Jeremiah Wright controversy surrounding Obama's campaign, one JournoList contributor, Spencer Ackerman of The Washington Independent, stated "If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they've put upon us. Instead, take one of them – Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists".[7][8] Chris Hayes of The Nation was requesting ideas from other journalists for best ways to criticize Sarah Palin in an email thread.[9]
This is "Spanish Inquisition" level stuff. They're zealots, not rational men.
I could go on, show Shattered Glass shite, the point is seeing the zealots here like Whirly and digging into the lengths the various people on that side will go, and the almost desperate belief that they are after the devil himself.
Combine that with Alex Jones and bigots on the Right (Yes I'm not blind)
It's all wrong! It's too convenient, to have such perfect polarization and zero legitimacy in opposition parties.
I don't know what it all means but it's just not right, something is very screwed up with our way of life.
From a quick Google search on the differences between masculinity and femininity;
https://www.andrews.edu/~tidwell/bsad560/HofstedeMasculinity.html
Masculinity is seen to be the trait which emphasizes ambition, acquisition of wealth, and differentiated gender roles. Femininity is seen to be the trait which stress caring and nurturing behaviors, sexuality equality, environmental awareness, and more fluid gender roles.
How did they even come up with this??
So achievement itself is masculine? Career climbing, innovation, making money, all masculine?
While femininity is defined by what, subsistence farms the 1960's hippies did? And why the emphesis on gender fluidness, that's crazy talk, it's like attributing gayness to masculinity they are COMPLETELY UNRELATED.
Jadan, another reason for my paranoia;
According to the Uber files, some at the company appear to have seen an upside in the attacks against drivers. When attacks occurred, Uber moved swiftly to leverage the violence in a campaign to pressure governments to rewrite laws that stymied Uber’s chances of expansion.
It was a playbook repeated in Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland, but it was perhaps most evident in France. Before dawn in Europe on 29 January, the Uber chief executive, Travis Kalanick, was messaging on how best to respond to the chaos in Paris.“Civil disobedience,” Kalanick fired off in a rapid burst of messages. “Fifteen thousand drivers … 50,000 riders … Peaceful march or sit-in.” Uber’s vice-president for communications, Rachel Whetstone, responded cautiously, noting “just fyi” that Uber’s head of public policy for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Mark MacGann, was “worried about taxi violence” against Uber drivers.
Does the term astroturf apply here?
Well anyways, my main point is if protests and sit ins and riots nothing more then tactics for Uber, who else uses these tactics for personal gains?
How could I know Black Lives Matter wasn't some scheme? Or #Metoo? Or to be fair the Proud Boys or NRA activism?
What if it's all smoke and mirrors?
This even spreads to public partisans, I often wonder if most people like TheLoneRanger or Whirly know it's all bullshit and have ulterior motives for emotional partisanism (Like maybe LoneRanger or Whirly have axes to grind and the people they hate most happen to be Republican or Democrat?)
I mean I'm a simple guy, who sees a lot of deception and lies and wonders if it's worth getting emotionally invested in anything anymore. Maybe it's all nothing but ambitious hucksters and cynical bandwagoners.
I have to have open heart surgery next week or die.
In case I do die, you’re all a bunch of queers and I love you.
I made a GoFundMe if anyone is feeling generous.
If not, please share so as to speak awareness.

My grandfather had a triple bypass, he was one of the first to ever get one. His doctors said he probably wouldn't make it to 40. He passed away a few years back at 94 years old.
They've come a long way since then, you should be in very good hands.
I'll say a prayer for you, and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Donated. I won't be saying a prayer for you though because I'm a Godless heathen.
Hope you don't die though. If for no other reason than who'll get rid of all the spambot threads if you're feeding maggots and worms.
All the best, big fella.
