BitchATL and the rest of the board goose steppers have been awfully quiet about what’s going on at these college campuses.

I guess this is (D)ifferent?

I mean, it is different.

Insurrections require an effect on government. These campuses, even if public, have no government authority to alter.

These are just your typical leftist protests/riots that have been going on since Civil Rights Era protests and Boomer hippies protesting Vietnam. They're not changing anything.

*ETA: for smoothbrains. I don't support either of these "protests" and think they're all dumb. That doesn't mean there aren't fundamental differences in an insurrection (which did not happen on J6) and political protests.

Yes, you're correct. These pro Hamas riots are far more violent and destructive. This is what Communism is.

Was it really an insurrection on Jan 6 ? I don’t think the people had any intention to overthrow government. If they did they would have brought weapons. It was basically fed up people protesting election integrity that got lured into the capitol by people like ray epps .

So were the riots in the summer of 2020. Still not an insurrection.

Those "boomer" hippies sowed their "seeds" into the psyche of society years ago and are now "reaping" what they sowed. It is now time to bring in the tillers and turn the "harvest" into mulch!!

I clarified in my ETA to state it was not.

But, even if someone argues it was, what's happening today cannot be.

What’s hilarious is how horrified they pretended (and still do) to be at the “treasonous acts”….. but they are silent with ripping down the American flag, hoisting a foreign flag, and yelling “death to America”.

Most of them support this. They claim the Republicans are being hypocritical about free speech, and everything else is just a false narrative.

Indeed, but you'd be hard-pressed to define a protest that ended when everyone left after a few hours and no one was arrested an "insurrection". The desire of the common leftist to equate Jan 6 to Bastille Day is laughable.

The OP is not the only one drawing this comparison, and AP News is not having it!!!

AP News

Trump’s comparison of student protests to Jan. 6 is part of effort to downplay Capitol attack


quote:

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump on Tuesday lamented the possibility that Columbia University’s pro-Palestinian protesters could be treated more leniently than the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, marking the second time in a week the former president has invoked the ongoing campus protests to downplay past examples of right-wing violence.

Speaking in the hallway outside a Manhattan courtroom where his criminal hush money trial is taking place, Trump questioned whether student demonstrators who seized and barricaded a campus building early Tuesday, some of them vandalizing it in the process, would be treated the same way as his supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 to stop certification of the presidential results.

“I think I can give you the answer right now,” he said. “And that’s why people have lost faith in our court system.”


As noted earlier in the thread, what has transpired over the last week at Columbia and other institutions has been more destructive, violent and protracted than what happened on Jan 6. These students will face no legal action beyond disorderly conduct, destruction of property, and perhaps a few other misdemeanor charges. Those arrested this morning at Columbia will sleep in their beds tonight after Mom and Dad post bail.

Agreed, we've never had an insurrection.

The 2020 race riots were worse than any civil rights riots from the 60s.

Might want to tell that to all of the presidents who’ve invoked the insurrection act over…rioting

But I’m sure some ambulance chaser on a message board knows more than they did

Yet I've never seen you decry the lawfare from the Left prosecuting J6 protesters while simultaneously calling the BLM riots in 2020 as innocuous pop-up, mostly peaceful protests. I've never seen you denounce the Kangaroo J6 special committees to politically prosecute J6 participants. Actually on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I saw you giddy like a school girl on this site reveling in the J6 indictments and prosecutions.

Absolutey textbook liberal response. Confront with precedent, get a diversion.

Using this logic, neither did any of the protests on January 6. What effect on government would it have to occupy the congressional chambers? Just because you occupy one building (admittedly an important one) of one of the three branches of government does not mean you control things. To use your words, you have no government authority. It's not like the occupiers could submit a bill to the executive branch for signature, and the military will not recognize any authority from the occupiers. Even if the occupiers could find a quorum in both houses and force them to vote on a bill, and then a supposedy rogue executive branch signed said bill, the supreme court would strike it down immediately.
