(20 posts)I find it humorous because of the rashness of the action, the inflated self-belief of the participants. On the other hand, it is also a tragic topic too.

I respect your feelings. We at least agree it will be good to see justice done, and now with Trump out they will start getting arresting.

It was chilling to see the evil ideology the boogaloos, oath keepers, militias and the white supremacists are using to grow their movement. Their intent to overthrow our societal norms and institutions to install fascist and a race hating agenda is gathering strength and we have to be prepared to deal with the worst of the worst.
It was obvious they really do not respect good law enforcement and are working to recruit the worst of the worst into our military and law enforcement agencies. They are jack booted thugs who are egged on by that bastard tRump with insurrectionist and treasonous lies and intent. AG Garland and the Joint Chiefs of Staff need to deal with these traitors harshly.
