That Antifa guy the facial recognition supposedly caught false-flagging the Capitol yesterday turns out to be a well known QAnon douche from AZ.
Longtime Arizona QAnon supporter in horned helmet joins storming of U.S. Capitol
Among the supporters of President Donald Trump who mobbed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, one – unmistakable in his fur, horned hat and painted face – was Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year.
Angeli was seen in photographs from Washington, D.C., amid protesters who turned violent and stormed the building, causing both chambers to suspend their intended action of the day: certifying the results of the presidential election for former vice president Joe Biden.
This dopey photo is making the rounds as if it offers some kind of proof.
The three people in that photo:
- Jake Angeli, the QAnon douche from AZ
- Jason Tankersley, founder of the Maryland Skinheads
- Matthew Heimbach, National Socialist Movement

What I'm saying is that this was an unruly mob of protestors. Yes, things got out of hand (as things tend to do with all mobs), just like they did in the BLM riots, where people also died. The BLM riots were generally a lot more unruly, more widespread, of longer duration, and violent. What you saw at the Capitol was a tiny fraction of disenfranchised voters.

Yes, there was violence at BLM protests. That violence did not prevent our Congress from executing it's Constitutional duties, and therefore, is not terrorism.

All highly dependent on your version of the term "terrorism" as previously mentioned. The BLM violence met the definitions of terrorism to a larger degree than the protest turned mob at the Capitol. Your definition is skewed, if your main sticking point is that it interrupted Congress.

Get bent fascist pig. Rioting != terrorism. You're just desperate as fuck to not admit that Trump is a fascist and his followers are fascist. Likely because you are a Trumper given everything you've posted in the last 4 years, and you are not ready to admit you joined a fascist cult.
The truth hurts bitch, deal with it.

How were these criminals "disenfranchised voters"? Because their anointed messiah didn't win the election?
If they voted and their vote was counted they were not disenfranchised.
Answer now is don't give in; aim for a new tomorrow.

One could call the BLM rioters disenfranchised voters and be correct too. The difference is that I think the anger was much better placed at the Capitol, than in residential neighborhoods, and shopping strips.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, and I was so disenfranchised that I stormed into a Pizza Hut, tried to get into the basement, and made two trips to the Salad Bar. I believe my violence was totally justified. Of course, now even W has denounced Trumpers. It think, they might be, illegals.

FTFY.
Their vote, if the cast one, was counted.
