It wasn't an insurrection because no guns were used, and insurrectionists running thing is preferable to Antifa or BLMa real piece of work.

Is because the goons had the face the mags despite Slobby’s objections

https://news.yahoo.com/cassidy-hutchinson-january-6-trump-weapons-rally-mags-183111081.html

When we were in the offstage tent, I was part of a conversation, I was in the vicinity of a conversation where I overheard the president say something to the effect of, ‘I don’t effing care if they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me, take the effing mags [magnetometers] away, let my people in, they can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in, take the effing mags away,’” Hutchinson said in a prerecorded deposition.

Totally diasgree with the post that person made but did we really need to delete it and ban the guy? Seems pretty mild compared to some stuff on here. Just sayin

As you didn't read it, I find it confounding that you would have such a strong opinion on the matter.
You do understand that what that poster was saying was not an opinion a liberal Democrat would have? Right?
You do understand this is a discussion site for democrats? Right?
Exactly what value would be obtained by leaving one random, misinfored post running counter to liberal thought?

Enjoy your confoundment I guess? The attitude is just oozing off of your post too with all of the "Right?"s. Can't we remain calm and respectful?

So on this site we're apparently only listening to opinions that agree with our own? Right?
So this is a pro-censorship site? Sounds eerily similar to the way that right wingers are working to remove books, etc.... that differ with their own opinions. Right?

It's your opinion that the post which YOU provided a summary of...was misinformed.
Your opinion. I don't have an opinion since I didn't read the original. Still it's MY opinion that the action taken to remove it and ban the guy was excessive. Geez, at least give the guy a warning.
My point is that we don't want to become what we abhor which is to become like the GOP.

American Embassy in Paris. As she is waiting for the elevator, two Embassy employees are talking. One says, "I bluffed the Old Man with a pair of deuces." The other says, "What is the problem?" He replies, "If I can do this, what are the Russians doing to him?" (the movie is early '60's, height of the Cold War)
