They weren’t even unarmed. That’s the most absurd lie. There was a wide array of charges related to many weapons from clubs to knives to bearspray and chemicals to guns among the terrorists and many charges of them assaulting police on video and putting them in the hospital. But somehow it’s supposed to be appropriate they use weapons to attack police and they call it nonviolent and unarmed. Insane

Amen. They were definitely armed with many weapons, including flag poles they used on police.

Pretty much. Practically anything is a weapon. Hell a couple of dudes kicking you in the stomach and head are plenty enough to end you even with protective gear on. In that situation guns aren't a requirement, they're just dessert. An out of control mob of MAGA tried to break into the room that held congressional lawmakers and there isn't a doubt in my mind that they'd have killed Anyone they got their hands on in there.

Let's not forget the multiple people caught on cameras with zip-ties.

Yup police seized a huge cache of weapons and got the white nationalist MAGA to admit the plan was to capture and kill and hold the building for days until Trump was put into office. That’s not a nonviolent protest

Trump told security to shut off the metal detectors because "they're not after me." Damn shame there wasn't even one single disgruntled cult member among them.

Babbitt herself had a concealed folding knife when she attempted to breach the inner chambers. Blades of any length are prohibited inside the Capitol for non-staff personnel.

The dipshit that took selfies sitting in Pelosi's char with his feet kicked up on the desk had a stun baton in his belt in the picture.

Yeah, unarmed. Okay.

Don't forget the literal bombs they found, with videos of them being planted.

People on the right when a mass shooting happens: that one dude could have done just as much damage with a knife! Baseball bats kill more people than AR15s!

People on the right a few months after this happened: that crowd of thousands wasn’t dangerous at all because they weren’t all packing guns.

They were absolutely packing guns. Loads of video and audio evidence of cops seeing guns and snipers taking up spots. They are just straight up lying.

u/UnfairPrompt3663 Jan 06 '25

Oh, yeah, I didn’t want to get into the finer point that there is in fact evidence that there were in fact guns, so I didn’t clarify that just because they weren’t all carrying guns doesn’t mean that none of them were. But some of them were.
