Oh for fuck's sake. Of course Officer Sicknick was killed by the January 6th Trumpist mob.

No, a physically fit 42 year old Capitol police officer did not coincidentally suffer a stroke completely out of the blue right after he was in the thick of everything on January 6th.

And no, he wasn't surrounded by peaceful guys that day who were playing guitars and hackey sack and singing Kumbaya that day. He was surrounded by guys with sticks and clubs and bear spray and zip ties who were displaying nooses and shouting about how they wanted to kidnap and/or kill the Vice President and Speaker of the House, and who were all too willing to crush Sicknick's fellow officers to death if they had the chance.

How fucking obtuse are these people, and how stupid do they think we are?

Jesus shit.

Not to mention the dozens of other police officers who were attacked by those violent traitors.

They were beaten, suffered concussions, lost eyes, fingers, etc. And the beatings are on video, so they can’t deny it either. It’s a miracle more didn’t die at the hands of these deranged lunatics.

There’s no excusing what this scum did, as hard as they’re trying to do so.

not as protection if they were attacked, they brought them to attack anyone who got in their way while they ransacked the Capitol Building. That shows premeditation.

Among the things I won’t forget is being accused of homophobic slurs for abbreviating his name in post titles. Long names get abbreviated — duh.

So wherever they’ve gone, I hope they stay there and have a happy life. Or something.

Actually, there do seem to be some particularly contentious and thin-skinned newbs of late, plus one person who reminds me so much of someone whose name I can’t remember. So maybe some have come “home.”

I read that Officer Sicknick called his brother after the insurrection and he said was okay.

The next day they found him dead possibly from the bear spray he inhaled.

If he was hit on the head, it wouldn't require immediate head trauma. Let's not forget the actress Natasha Richardson, who hit her head while skiing, went back to her hotel room with nothing more than a mild headache, and died the next day because of internal bleeding.

He was in critical condition. He died in the hospital something like 2 days after the riot.

No reasonable, sane, intelligent person believes this.
But then Trump's base doesn't contain a lot of people who fall into that category.
It's just like the idiotic claims that the insurrection was an Antifa false flag operation.

And, if not, why not? That would seem to be pretty important in this case.

Read it's believed he was a Qrump fan/follower, so did the family want to hid from public view that
Qrumpers were responsible? Always more questions than answers.

of killing them if they suddenly die. Y'know, if a mob attacks somebody, and the person dies of a heart attack or stroke, it's the person's own fault: they shouldn't have been so over-excitable. It's like when you stab a hemophiliac, who then bleeds to death: the person should have been more careful"

any type of official briefing on this death. This is honestly bizarre. I am certainly not saying this conspiracy is correct but I do think we should have had a briefing long before now. We still don't know anything about how he died or who killed him. It has been almost 2 months.
