Individuals can believe anonymous internet posters parroting Qanon/Breitbart/RT/LindseyGraham/TuckerCarlson/TedCruz/MattGaetz and ilk, or believe reports written by US intelligence agencies showing domestic terrorism is among the greatest threats to US society.
Reasonable individuals will ignore those pushing big lieS.

Th suspect was a Black nationalist follower of Louis Farrakhan.
Fighto!
What a coward and a loser. Its good news he was shot dead.
RIP to the poor officer.

The suspect is Noah Green, a follower of the racist black nationalist Nation of Islam group.

For reasonable Americans, Jan.6th was a day when the greatest assault on the remaining bits of US democracy occurred. Only anti-democracy groups want to ignore the day, want it whitewashed to protect their pro-authoritarian movements.

It’ll be interesting to find out what this pea-brain’s motive was for this murderous act.

It was a sad and shameful day. But so was the the nearly four months of armed assault on the Federal court house in Portland. I don’t mean to minimize what happened that day but it wasn’t the assault on democracy people make it out to be. There were no guns, knives or other weapons used. The officer was not killed by a fire extinguisher as was reported and later retracted by the press. The Capitol Police has still not disclosed the cause of death. The only person killed in the Capitol grounds was an unarmed woman. In Portland arms were present and arson was attempted while the attackers on the Federal property blocked exits.
America’s current form of democracy has been twisted and deformed over the last century by corrupted politics and judicial system. Democracy in America is running on fumes.

That's a worrying reality, especially when far right, white nationalist movements are growing more vocal through their media - and politicians - while whitewashing the hideous historical problems that continue to this day.

The far right efforts to minimalize aforementioned insurgency and murderous intent has been noted.

Sounds like the work of a lone wolf. My condolences to the families.

Definitely a serious and deepest condolence to everyone.
Seems like this guy was a follower of Louis Farrakhan as far as what the reports are saying. Don’t know how Tucker got into this, but...
At the current rate it might be, but Democrats at this point need to back away from the white conservative racism hype, recent events are showing us something quite different.
That’s a bunch of hogwash, when the situations don’t favor liberals, it’s always the conservatives are not taking this seriously, what garbage! Of course we do, we just don’t take a knee-jerk reaction to all of this snd just blame one ethnic group especially when all the facts are not in.

At least he didn’t have an assault rifle.
And yeah, we’re going to continue to reference an organized terrorist plot to over turn the results of a free and fair election using violence against a co-equal branch of government by domestic insurgents.
And no, there is no moral equivalence to Portland. Weak deflection indeed.

The murderer was posting on social media about the “terrible afflictions I have suffered presumably by the CIA and FBI, government agencies of the United States of America.” and that he "suffered multiple home break ins, food poisonings, assaults, unauthorized operations in the hospital, mind control". He said in his social media posts that Farrakhan saved him. Not sure you can hang any of this on anything but mental illness.

They also carried the Russian collusion narrative, so now, not buying that. Especially after seeing so many agents fired for lying.
No, it just shows that it crushes the liberals narrative that all of these attacks that have been happening recently are all propagated by white nationalists and we are finding out that is absolutely not true, so once again the FBI seems to have dropped the ball on this and the media knows it and that is the reason why they are completely silent on the issue.
You need to talk about the people that live off the grievance industry, look over at MSNBC there are two people there that dwell in it and make a living off victimization.

MSNBC erroneously reported that Capitol attack suspect was a 'White male'
Sources identified the suspect as Noah Green, a 25-year-old Black male and supporter of Louis Farrakhan

So now that the White conservatives Trump supporting narrative is debunked, what are liberals going to do now, what other bogeyman can they use? They’re not going to go after minorities or blacks, the FBI definitely won’t do that. The problem is, liberals need to stop invoking the race issue in order to garner votes, it doesn’t help them and as we have been watching over the last week it undermines the credibility as a party that pretends it’s strides for unity when it actually doesn’t
