#1 We mocked CNN et al. when they took this precise tack on the George Floyd riots of 2020 in Minneapolis

And yet it worked. You keep playing by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules in politics while your opponent is practicing Marxism. You lose.

#2 "The adjective meek likewise seems inapt for people who entered the Capitol without permission..."

When a Uniformed Capitol Police Officer visibly opens doors in the Capitol Building and visually directs people into areas of the building, it seems reasonable to presume at least some level of tacit "permission". Thus a blanket assertion of knowlingly illegal entry is specious.

#3 We just want the video so that we can decide. We are for accountability, especially for the instigators. We have questions about whether it was coordinated, manipulated or acerbated by the Feds. Show me video of Qanon Shaman doing some heinous violence and I am down for his long sentence as long as all the BLM rioters are held to the same standard. Equal Protection is guaranteed. Also Brady Material like this video needs to be lawfully surrendered to defendants.

#4 Some time ago, [oh no here comes a story!] I was standing near the White House entry gate guardhouse. Three CAPOs were lightly chatting with a fellow in a fashion to 'draw him out'.

Sitting on a (1)desk corner, (2)leaning in a doorway, (3)walking to the fellow with a fresh hot cup of coffee, the three were doing a covert interview. All ready to move on the guy.

"Oh, you with a tour group?"
"What time is the tour?"
"Where are you from?"
"I'm John, what's your name again?"
"That your backpack? What's in it?"
"When did you get here? Come with anybody?"
"What kind of medicines in the bag? You get carsick?"
"That pack looks heavy, got a bottle of water in there? Why don't you set it down."

All pointed, each CAPO carrying a theme but redirecting the last question, listening for conflict, confusion or verbal response triggers.

Turned out the guy was on a personal 'day in the park' break from his meds for schizophrenia. He had a thermos of soup and a sandwich in the backpack. He had left his gun at home that day because they didn't allow guns on the tour bus.

Some CAPOs police, some just shoot tourists.

#5 Myself and the comment section of Powerline do not have a very high opinion of the articles author, Scott 'little pecker' Johnson.

"Scott... clutching pearls and swooning towards the fainting couch is so unmanly. Don't spend your remaining days as an invertebrate."

"Thanks for your opinion Scott. Out of 15,000 people, a few hundred got out of line. And those were a bunch of misdemeanors, with a few exceptions. Pay your fine and go home. Not years in prison. The whole leftie proposition that this was a “wiolent inthureccshun” is beyond preposterous, but it sure fits their narrative."

My snark of the day is from Powerline comments, ha!:

"Is it too soon to speculate that Tucker won't be showing any new J6 video footage?"

#6 Powerline is in the same orbit as CONservative treehouse. Pretends to hate McConnell but actually doesn't and insists DeSantis is head of the deep state.
