Look at how much he seemed to enjoy posing for this picture! More than happy to spread his cape and pose. He was definitely looking for attention.

And he found a way to get it while minimizing the possibility of anyone being able to identify him later on (just in case he had decided to do something illegal). Good for him, I guess?

remember that part of the Nazi's "final solution".

That's probably because they deny it ever happened. White supremacists tend to think that way.

they were first taken out when Hitler, et al had firmed up the absolute take over of the gov't. The Brown Shirts had no central leader, just a large group of people grousing in the coffee houses over the Treaty of Versailles and the continued depreciation of the currency.

No friends no job no home - and ironically enough, no freedom. Not even if you spell it freedumb!

You jerks assaulting the Capitol and breaking windows with sticks and bats and flag poles and hitting people AND cops, doing bodily injury - one cop actually died from the trauma the NEXT DAY - acting like rabid agitated baboons in a tribal gang war, you’re UNHAPPY about the results you EARNED?

You think it’s so unfair that you or your other hoodlum friends have to face consequences for what you did??? That this should have been some sort of moral freebie? That the end justifies the means? Well, your wet dreams of a violent overthrow didn’t get you the end to which you presumed you were entitled.

I find myself wondering how the worst offenders were brought up. I’m a mom so I’m stuck. I go there. Were you spoiled and coddled as a toddler and allowed to throw loud kicking stomping destructive tantrums in the middle of the grocery store? Were you allowed to do that without punishment - or worse, given your way just to shut you up? What does the ne learn if they throw a big loud inconvenient fit ‘cause they’re not getting their way, and because they did that, they wind up getting their way? They learned that such miscreant and antisocial behavior gets them their way.

Well maybe that works when you’re three years old. Grown men (and it WAS a vast majority of men) don’t get that kind of over-pampered forgiveness. They wind up force-learning the three-year-old’s lesson at age 42.

I can just hear the outraged, aggrieved rationale shouting in the back of their minds - “WHAT??? You mean I have to PAY for this???”

Yeah sorry for your harsh lesson that in the place called the real world, there's no such thing as "freedom from consequences". Using Godwin's law to enact an extreme false equivalency just makes your position all the more absurd.

Other speakers included family members and friends of various people charged in the storming of the Capitol. One read aloud a letter from a “concerned mother” of a man who’s been denied bail despite a nonviolent offense and, the writer said, has been suffering in prison. “He’s lost his job, lost friends, and is in the process of losing his home. He’s been denied visits from family. His jailers treat these men like scum...


I cannot tell you how good this makes me feel, knowing they're being treated like the grifted scum that they are! TERRIFIC! We told you so, but you ignored us for 5 years. Trash gets what trash deserves, is how I look at it.

Let's see if DOJ can send more to keep these idiots company.

These people need to stop invoking the Holocaust when most of this ilk would spit in the faces of Jews.
