In my humble opinion this reads largely like propaganda for what was certainly not a gathering of "good and decent people". Take Robert Keith Packer for one, who proudly wore his "Camp Auschwitz" shirt to the rallysprintcyclist wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 12:30 amOn Wednesday January 6th 2021, over a half a million Americans gathered to peacefully rally and petition their government to honor and protect our election from fraud and corruption, and to restore the integrity of the 2020 vote. It was a gathering of good and decent people. They came forth as the best of our nation and shouldered the responsibility of petitioning our representatives to protect our elections and ensure that our vote was clean and legal and the election open and transparent. They gathered in hopes of preserving our Republic for all Americans.

Take the two pipe bombs that were planted out front of the RNC and DNC

Take the multiple references to the holocaust, racial slurs, etc. that appeared on livestreams of the event. Bullshit these are "good people"
The threats and abuses hurled at them? I call that 1A rights, personally. I haven't heard of the DC mayor's actions, but If you could provide a source that would be appriciated. Either way, I encourage you to look at the 1968 DNC protests and realise that these isssues are both Bipartisan and go back a long way into history.sprintcyclist wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 12:30 amThe over half million rallied as they have done for the last decade. They were of good spirits and positive despite the abuses, threats and violence inflicted on them over the last decade. They are the best of America in so many ways. The DC mayor removed the hundreds of portable bathrooms during the night from around the Washington Monument. The restaurants were shut down and the food truck vendors were banned. She acted in ways that are indefensible for a mayor to treat Americans depraving them of access to bathrooms, food and water. The weather was sub-freezing with a strong north west wind of 20 mph and gusty. The grounds were soggy and the cold crept through the moist grounds through shoes and socks after 6 hours of standing out in the elements, but throughout all of this, the crowd remained in good spirits.

I do agree however that the protestors who were at that point peaceful should have been adequately prepared and catered for, provided you can prove it to have happened.
You're a bonafide Goebbels with how you make Trump sound here... If the evidence was so irrefutable, I'm certain one of the courts would have loved to have heard it. Instead, they called it "Frankenstein's Monster" becayuse of how poorly it was cobbled together.sprintcyclist wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 12:30 amPresident Trump was masterful in presenting the case of massive coordinated voter fraud on an epic historic scale throughout the nation and in particular, in the 6 contested states. The evidence was compelling and irrefutable. It reminded all of the efforts by the major media organs and the social media platforms to suppress, shutdown and censored the fact and evidenced from ever reaching the light of day. At the end, the president asked the faithful to present themselves to the Capital peacefully. We are and have always been law abiding and supporters of police, so there was no issue about the right to petition our representatives on the matter of protecting our vote and the results of the 2020 election. WE looked restoration of the vote of millions of legal voters.

again, voter fraud is probably a different topic, but one I'm happy to address elsewhere. I'm sure the cop who died as a result of the actions of trump supporters will love to hear that you always supported police. As will the black police officer who was chased through the halls:

As will all the other cops who heard the calls to "kill all... cops", amoungst "n*ggers" and "jews" in the livestreams

Wasn't it? I thought all the trump memorbilia, Trump flags, MAGA hats, and the like might have said otherwise...sprintcyclist wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 12:30 amThe violence and mayhem that occurred was not connected in any way to President Trump or the patriots that assembled. As Chairman of the Virginia Tea Party, I condemn lawlessness and violence that occurred at the Capital as I have condemned the violence, looting, arson, assaulting, killing that our nation suffered through all last year by the left-wing hate groups like Antifa and BLM.
Participation in democracy should always be rewarded, and all peaceful protestors should be heard. But I don't believe you can so easily sepparate yourself from the violence. Again, I don't believe the election was stolen, neither do the courts, but I respect your right to believe that it was.sprintcyclist wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 12:30 amSo we who assembled for this DC Stop the Steal MAGA rally are proud of our participation and involvement and condemned the incidents of violence that distracted from our good faith effort to protect the voting rights of all Americans and to seek restoration of the millions of legal votes that were negated in the voting fraud operations conducted and orchestrated by the democrats.
No regrets from the many who attended. I applaud all those peaceful and conscientious patriots that gathered on Wednesday and I am proud to be counted among the faithful who stood that day before our President and our Congress. I was honored to be able to help bring a group from my area and neither they nor I ever regretted that decision to come to DC and make a stand for our Republic.
