Insurrection-friendly rightwingers are planning a "Justice for J6" event on September 18, a week after the 20th anniversary of 9/11. “J6" isn't an unfairly maligned boy band, but the date — January 6 — that a violent mob stormed the US Capitol at the behest of Donald Trump, who is still at large and still somehow a serious contender in the 2024 presidential race.

The pro-coup rally will take place at the scene of the original crime, the Capitol grounds, and support the jailed insurrection suspects. Repulsively, the rally will supposedly honor the victims of 9/11, another dark day for America. We're not sure you can simultaneously support and oppose terrorist attacks, but “J6" is probably an overall “we don't like brown people" rally so that might track.

So far, hundreds of Trump's supporters have been arrested for breaking into the Capitol on January 6 and, in many cases, later bragging about it on social media like morons. A growing rightwing narrative has emerged that these criminal suspects are actually “political prisoners," because apparently breaking and entering and aggravated assault are partisan issues. White supremacist personality Tucker Carlson and even some Republican members of Congress, who are not any more reputable, have promoted this lunacy. Back in April, Carlson wondered why January 6 suspects were still in prison while “murderers walked free." (No, he's not talking about the cops who killed Tamir Rice or Terence Crutcher.) Last year, Carlson denounced celebrities who contributed to bail funds for people arrested during racial justice protests. None of whom were charged with murder or attempting to violently overturn an election.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn from North Carolina has called the MAGA mob members “political hostages." Cawthorn apparently doesn't know how hostage situations work, because no one at the Department of Justice has sent him someone's ear with a letter demanding several million dollars in untraceable bills.

"The big problem is, we don't actually know where all the political prisoners are," continued Cawthorn. "So if we were to actually be able to go and try and bust them out — and let me tell you, the reason why they're taking these political prisoners is because they're trying to make an example," he said, cutting himself off.

1. Fools

Different President.

[snort]

2. This time

SHOOT THEM.

[Texaswitchy]

3. Start with rubber bullets.

Gas them.

The police should not have to be hurt.

The Republicans in charge are more then willing to kill off their voters.

[SCantiGOP]

4. In this order:

Police;
National Guard;
Military.

I don’t think we will have to go beyond police to handle these wanna-be warriors, but we have a guy in the White House who will not hesitate to call in whatever force is needed.

5. I doubt they'll get close to the Capitol. The Biden admin, the Capitol,...

Metro Police and Nat'l Guard are not going to allow a repeat of Jan. 6. And the 18th is a Saturday so who will be in the building anyway?

6. I hope they mount as big a force as they did against all those

awful kids with their signs.

Which was about 10x what they mounted against the white guys in tactical gear with bombs.
