>> blind or a hypocrite<< He's a blind hypocrite. People in cults can believe in opposite ideas.

>> She was party to breaking down a door protecting the US Congress from a violent assault. There was no violence. A "violent assault" starts when there is violence by the assaulter, not when one is murdered by cops. >> I don't recall if you were among those promoting the notion of armed teachers but, had a mob broken through the door of a schoolhouse, I'm certain you would be giving the teacher a medal for shooting. I don't think teachers who don't know about firearms should be carrying firearms. Just as this cop clearly didn't know about firearms. I grew up in a town where every kid who had a truck had a gun rack with two or three rifles in the parking lot of the school. No idiot would have dare tried to carry out an attack with a gun in our school. But it would have been student defenders more than teachers (we actually lost one our teachers in my junior year of high school, teacher was standing outside his truck when his two year old pulled the trigger of his rifle which was on the gun rack of his truck. Shot him dead. A tragedy for sure). But today's teachers in the cities do not need to have guns. They are as much against the children they teach as would be the attackers. I generally consider union teachers as equivalent to attackers of children.

Why make this an "or" statement? I think it's probably "and"- "You're either blind or a hypocrite" I'm sure the blindness helps the hypocrisy leap to even greater levels.

>> She was party to breaking down a door protecting the US Congress from a violent assault. She was leading the mob over the red line and she got shot for it. If she had a brain in her head she would have realized that YOU JUST DON'T DO THAT. If she hadn't been so wound up in the moment she might have realized that she didn't by any stretch of the imagination belong there doing that and she would be alive today. It's too bad that she isn't but it is what it is. She is no more a victim than if she had gotten shot while robbing a bank. You would not have defended what happened to this woman five years ago imo.
