Apparently that furry Viking really likes going to protests. It appears that he was also at BLM in Arizona...š¤·āāļø maybe he needs to pick a less conspicuous outfit š Heās a QAnon supporterĀ www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2021/01/06/arizona-qanon-supporter-jake-angeli-joins-storming-u-s-capitol/6568513002/āAmong the supporters of President Donald Trump who mobbed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, one ā unmistakable in his fur, horned hat and painted face ā was Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year.ā Also, that Amuse Twitter acct is very clearly a MAGA/KAG supporter, so of course heās going to try to put the blame on antifascists. Theyāre all idiots. Antifa, qanon, itās all literally bullshit. And people die because of it.

NBC reporting the woman who was shot has died. If so, her blood is on Trumpās hands and the hands of his collaborators and supporters. I believe she was one of his supporters. The story I read showed her in a MAGA hat and shared several tweets she made about going to the protests to support Trump.

Iām relieved she wasnāt an innocent Capitol worker. I saw a *graphic* cell phone video yesterday afternoon on Twitter, and it appeared as if she had a Trump flag tied around her neck like a cape at the moment of the shooting.

I am anti-fascist (as all Americans should be), but there is no antifa organization.

I just saw that video. The windows were all smashed, people were yelling to stop, and she climbed through a broken window towards a guy pointing a handgun from just a few feet away. Yikes.
Not my circus, not my monkeys, but man this whole thing looks like such a messed up situation.
Yeah, the "both sides bad" crowd don't seem to get this.

Pelosi just said if Pence doesnāt invoke the 25th immediately, Congress is prepared to impeach again. It's all a mess, of course, and I don't think there's any not-bad option. But I do think his own cabinet 25th-ing him is less bad than [Democratic] congress doing it, so I still hope the cabinet finds the courage to do it. If Congress ousts him, I truly fear extremely wide-spread, lasting civil uprising. I'm not sure that regardless of what happens, we haven't reached a point where we will now see semi-regular political violence. I keep thinking of Ireland, as one example, and wondering if that's close to what our future looks like. At this point, I don't think even Trump could stop it (if he wanted to which he of course does not). If he came out and said, "look, upon further review, the election was absolutely fair, and I lost fair and square and wish Biden well and hope you can all stand behind him", they'd just claim he was threatened or manipulated or replaced with a look-alike or a robot, or some other Q-**** (Does typing their name bring them?) bullshit.

Antifa has as much responsibility for this as Trumpers did for the protests and riots 4 years ago. Or 8 months ago. Or last week in Portland. People on both sides get pissed, let them own it.
Listening to right wingers call this a staged false flag is about as gross as the same claims with Sandy Hook. Viking guy isn't a crisis actor, he's a known right winger in AZ who was at BML, protesting it. He'd likely be out there protesting if Trump had won and it was the other side losing their shit.

I can't agree that BLM and a fascist uprising attempting to overturn election results are in the same universe of action.

Fuck that narrative

Yeah. We have had protests throughout US history like the BLM protests - against injustice - that have had varying levels of violence. None of those are remotely the same as a band of armed rioters breaching the Capitol to try to overturn a legitimate election, incited by the president and possibly with help from other higher-ups. Not even close.

Yup. I am disgusted with the racist narrative that BLM in their fight for basic civil rights is anywhere near equivalent to white supremacists attempting to overthrow democracy.
