Good. They are a menace to society. Let them sit in jail until they get their day in court, and subsequent convictions.

What's become clear is how much planning was involved in this. The storming of the Capitol building was planned well in advance, and not a spur of the moment mob response to Trump's words. He asked them to "stand by" - in retrospect, the meaning of those words is clear, at least in how they interpreted them.

No, no they were not. That is right wing deflection propaganda.

On the other hand, there are documented cases of the bugaloo boys infiltrating a BLM protest and ambushing a police officer, and examples of rightists causing property damage and getting caught at BLM protests.

What a bunch of losers.

An Oath Keepers member also takes a plea bargain and jail in return for testimony against other members.

Apparently, a prod boy member was also an informant!

As they should be. Leaders of a hate group that attempted to subvert the democratic process.

Good. Hope they find some nice ethnic husbands in there.

and by "natural causes" I also sadly included the peaceful protester that was shot to death by the police. that the DOJ decided it doesnt matter cause she was a white Trump supporter and no need to investigate any further nor identify the shooter.

Good. These thugs are no better than the "black right-wing vans" in Japan that posters here are obsessed with. At least those right wingers in Japan, no matter how obnoxious, are not actively looking to engage in physical hostilities and beat up those they do not like.

ROFL cannot get over the fact that the leader of these idiots was a snitch, who was ratting them out the same time he was provoking them.

Yeah, lock 'em up. Now for the fat guy.

Hopefully we will start to see a lot more vigilance by the police regarding these deranged, right-wing conspiracy terrorists. But part of me thinks it might get worse before it gets better.

Glance at the top picture and you're looking at the primary terrorism threat to the US....

Far-right extremism has surpassed radical Islamic fundamentalism as the No. 1 terror threat....

These far-right, pro-Trump domestic terrorists did something on Jan 6th that Al Qaeda and ISIS only dream about - violently attack the center of our democracy...

And they were incited by their own version of Osama Bin Laden...

and who attacked the Capitol in April, murdering a police officer?

so she gets murdered?

strange you dont have the same thought process when its an armed criminal being arrested by police who dont do what they are told and ignore instructions.

She was told numerous times not to break the barricade and she ignores all of them.

What does that have to do with anything?

In other news, peaceful protests continue across the country. Why can't these far right lunatics learn how to exercise their first amendment rights from those protesting the rotten state of the US law enforcement and judicial system?

Like the "SA" stormtrooper militia of Hitler, the Proud boys were Donald Trump's "Brown Shirts"! Hey they have no uniforms, should Donald trump financing them over the uniforms? These guys seems very unprofessional of doing political intimidations!

This same thing can be asked of you. Why do you think black people who the police deem not to be obeying them deserve instant death, but a woman trying to break into the Senate to kill elected officials and destroy US democracy by installing Trump as dictator for life is actually just a sweet little lamb who needed to be catered to at all times?

Ain’t no Pabst in the big house, and informers get a rough ride.

Black: oh yeah like THAT is an accurate description of what was going on

Well the video is out there. Surely you've seen it.

Republicans: Brianna Taylor, a woman asleep in her bed, deserved to be shot to death for so wantonly not being awake in the presence of her betters.

Also Republicans: don’t be mean to the Qanon death cultists they were just erecting gallows and chanting “hang Mile Pence” while they stalled the halls of the Capitol hunting for Nancy Pelosi and AOC as they attempted to stop the certification of the will of the American people, a victimless crime uwu

I hope they throw the book at these traitors.

I hope they throw the book at these traitors.

It'd be the closest a Republican has ever come to a book.
