Twitter has a huge team to work on that and removes them when they see them.
> Downvote me to hell, but study history of other socialist / Marxist take overs; you will see the same pattern.
You're right, a lot of socialist revolutions do start with people storming a capitol building and trying to murder government officials.
Here's a video from a lawyer (a Canadian one, but he's been pretty good about American issues) that describes the Amazon response:
Trumpism came close to inflicting a hemorrhaging wound on their business models, but it missed, and now it will be eliminated with extreme prejudice.
Then these boomers rode up to DC to unwittingly put more wind in the valley's sails.
Patriot Act II, here we come!
But no, it must be because of committees, no way it could be the other thing.
In our heyday, our representatives would duel over points of honor. Nowadays, all it takes is a swarm of elderly neckbeards to make them cower beneath their desks.
Doesn’t matter who’s wielding the AR15, it will still be lethal.
Good job, however, that the representatives learnt their school shooter drills.
Firing no shot in his defence, his troop numbers swelled until they became an army. On 5 March, the nominally royalist 5th Infantry Regiment at Grenoble went over to Napoleon en masse. The next day they were joined by the 7th Infantry Regiment under its colonel, Charles de la Bédoyère, who was executed for treason by the Bourbons after the campaign ended.
An anecdote illustrates Napoleon's charisma: when royalist troops were deployed to stop the march of Napoleon's force at Laffrey, near Grenoble, Napoleon stepped out in front of them, ripped open his coat and said "If any of you will shoot his Emperor, here I am." The men joined his cause.
A bunch a idiots stormed a building, for anyone to think they could have “taken over” anything other than space is insane. And how fast I’m getting negative Karma is also insane. But it is what it is, I guess no discussion allowed unless you tow the line. Hacker news ain’t what it used to be.
Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick died from injuries suffered in the Capitol attack, apparently from being beaten by people in Trump paraphernalia.
The US Attorney's office has opened a federal murder case.
So yes, I can believe someone was murdered.
In fact, under the doctrine of felony murder, anyone comitting a felony during the act in which someone died can be charged with felony murder, so prosecutors are considering charging everyone in the entire attack that committed any felony with felony murder. So there may be hundreds eventually charged with felony murder from the attack - all were complicit under the law.
Well, I'm guessing that those posting on Parler that they were there to "HANG ALL TRAITORS" and such (there's more and more of this coming out - I'd wait till the court cases present evidence before you claim such certainty no one was planning murder), coupled with the weapons they brought, and the fact that someone did indeed get murdered, will make it clear that some did go there intending to murder someone, despite your not being able to believe it.
If you and your group write some violent manifesto, then attack some place, and someone dies, even if it is not the person you wanted, you will be charged with murder.
Accidental deaths are charged with homicide. The current charges are murder, as in pre-planned killings.
No need to reply. I think our sides are clear enough.
I'm certain the family of the cop that was beat to death[1] or the aides hiding in their offices, some of which may have had their panic buttons removed prior sometime prior to the rioting[2] or Nancy Pelosi, who had an opposition senator live-tweeting her location[3] during the insurrection, or the guy who drove up from Alabama with a list of names, 3 handguns, an AR15 and a cooler full of molotov cocktails [4] would all beg to differ.

"Unfortunate"?
> but I doubt they meant to murder someone.
What?
They dragged him into the rioting mob and hit him in the head with lead pipes and left him for dead.
I've also read the many death threats to/about specific Democrats that were posted on Parler.
"probably unintentional"? They dragged the police officer into the mob and proceed to beat him up with lead pipes.
> even so that’s not representative of the whole.
I get that a portion of the mob were simply playing the role of useful idiots, but you're talking about a mob who brought bombs, weapons, zip ties, and a freaking gallows.
How on earth is anyone still claiming the riot was remotely peaceful?
