Imagine if back in 1984 a black 17 year old guy drove across state lines with AR-15 during the Detroit Tigers world series riots and shot three white people in self defense to "protect property". I'm sure the far right would be congratulating him on being found innocent......

This Capitol rioter is 3-D: deranged, demented and delusional – same as somebody else I could name:

Prosecutors slam 6th try for release from riot defendant who said the people who stormed the Capitol were like 'Disney World crowds'

You shouldn't name (or hint at naming) people.
It's time for us to get back to the no politics rule here at the DRC.

Avoid the political posts.

We're going to be more active in moderating. Posts will be deleted. Warnings will be given, and if necessary, suspensions will be issued.

Okay, got it.

Isn't that how Tom Hanks found Wilson?

I may be a bit foggy on plot points in that movie.

This was a bit more intentional. And the driver isn't stranded. Otherwise, it's exactly the same.

Tom Hanks didn't find Wilson. Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor found Wilson.

This video is fun. Also cool how when the anchor in studio throws it to the reporter on the street (who is at the scene, but hours after it happened) there just so happens to be a school bus driving by.

 

[Channel98]

Heck, busses are probably easy to steal. How about a tank? In 1995, U.S. Army veteran Shawn Nelson stole a 60-ton M60 Patton tank from a National Guard armory in San Diego and went on a rampage, He destroyed 40 vehicles before being shot and killed by a police officer.

What she did was wrong. Perhaps she could've gone about it in another way, like contacting someone in congress who would have access to the report. But her intent was good (I think).

On the other hand, Edward Snowden (who many hail as a hero) is an absolute piece of shit (I think). He obliterated years of planned, approved, intentional programs for keeping the US safe, for no good reason other than he felt it was wrong. He basically told potential terrorists "here's how the US is monitoring you, so now that you know, you can get around it".

But here's the real question: WTF were her parents thinking, by naming a kid "Reality", when your last name is "Winner"?

 

[JHDK]

I watched that piece in between the late game and SNF and basically thought the same thing. But we are WAY too lenient on traitors these days. She should have been shot. Just like everyone who took one step past wherever the barriers were on January 6th. Intent shouldn't factor in when dealing with matters of treason. I assume Snowden thought he was doing something good...hell I'm guessing the wacky Q capitol people really thought they were defending the country or whatever. Doesn't matter. Treason = death.

Another (much more important) takeaway from that 60 minutes piece. WOW prison did not do that girl any favors. She's like 30 and looks rough. She used to be kinda cute.

Doesn't Kentucky only have like 150 total people to begin with?
