The Free Press has a sharp eye and withering criticism for the fringe left and their hypocrisy, antisemitism, and excesses. However you turn a blind eye to similar behavior across political spectrum. You correctly asked about a recent rally at UCLA, “where police and security guards are regularly assaulted in the course of doing their jobs?” Yet just a few days before, at a Trump Rally, the crowd booed the officers who helped defend our Capitol on Jan 6–and further Trump did nothing to quell such outrageous behavior. I looked for your sharp criticism on June 7 or 8. Crickets. I find it hard to take your support of the American project seriously when you elevate the vile reaction of a fringe mob but fail to even notice the enthusiastic anti-LEO behavior of a substantial part of an entire party in America, and the complicity of it’s leaders.
Wow. Jan 6 was a violent insurrection where Capitol Police were assaulted. Trump whipped up the insurrection that day, and continues to egg on the vile disrespect of the police. And yet, no comment from someone who claims to support the American project.
You declare - twice - that what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was an “insurrection.”
Insurrection is a federal crime that is codified at 18 U.S. Code § 2383. Of the more than 1,450 persons who have been charged with crimes in connection with the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol, NONE - NOT A SINGLE ONE - HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH THE FEDERAL CRIME OF INSURRECTION.
So what is the basis for your assertion that happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was an insurrection? Do you know something that the Democrat U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, and his battalion of prosecutors, do not know?
Please substantiate your “insurrection” assertion, or stand revealed as a blowhard who should stop watching MSNBC.
Common sense, and if you want to parse definitions, look at Websters. As implied by GSL, charging decisions are not necessarily a good proxy for defining the underlying activity--there is many more factors considered in a charging decision. Just as a parallel, do you think that since Hunter was not charged with anything further than a gun charge, that he is clear of all else?
But more importantly, this discussion is a distraction from the unambiguous violence directed at police by MAGA adherents, the recent enthusiastic denigration of those officers by the mob at a Trump rally, and the lack of any response from a journalist who claims to support the American project and has plenty of bandwidth to call out a fringe mob in LA, yet no interest in calling out the appalling and violent state of affairs in a party that represents a significant fraction of Americans. Let's keep that in mind.
I understand why you question it, and I suspect political reasons may have somethign to do with it too....along with why Trump wasn't charged earlier with the Stormy Daniels-related felonies (because he was Prez? Unprecedented and all that?) and why Hunter Biden wasn't charged sooner either. Both appear to have been 'slow walked' through the justice system.
I suspect politics had a lot to do with no insurrection charges, but I can't be sure.
Bari,

ничего не слышал об этом. первоисточник? был ли там полицейский, застреливший безоружную женщину и позже оправданный?
You're conflating assault and booing?

Because it's very, very hard to prove:
