Ex-Proud Boy Testifies Group Sought ‘All-Out Revolution’ in Capitol Riot

[g5000]

Trump supporters have repeatedly claimed that January 6th was no an insurrection, yet this is coming straight from the horse's mouth. How much more evidence is needed as to the intentions of the capital rioters, especially when it's coming from the Proud Boys who practically the equivalent of Saddam's Republican Guard?

WASHINGTON—Members of the far-right Proud Boys were preparing for “all-out revolution” days before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and eyeing the potential for supporters of then-President Donald Trump to violently oppose the peaceful transfer of power, a former leader of the group testified Wednesday.

Jeremy Bertino, 43 years old, took the stand as a star witness for the Justice Department in its trial against former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four other members of the group who were charged last year with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack. All five have pleaded not guilty to that and all other charges.

Jeremy Bertino is clearly working for the FBI. And Antifa. And BLM.

He's a RINO. A groomer. He drinks the blood of babies.

THe US can be overthrown by a small number of unarmed people? Anyone who was going for "insurrection" wouldnt attempt it without a lot of guns.

There were thousands. Not a "small number", dipshit.

A coup by law doesn't exist. the two words are mutually exclusive. A coup is an extra-legal seizing of power held by an existing government.

They had no ability to do so, because the Constitution doesn't set a date for that vote to be held, and there was 2 weeks before inauguration. The 12th Amendment wouldn't come into play, because the body that would have to trigger it IS THE SAME BODY that would have to have been interrupted and held by the so called revolutionaries trying to stop the vote in question.

You don't even see the circular logic you are employing.

All they needed to do, by any of, or a combination of the 3 mechanisms put in place to prevent congress from counting to 270 for any single candidate.

Insurrectionists interrupting the vote.
Pence invalidating disputed votes
Congress invalidating disputed votes
Double sets of electors invalidating the votes

By all or any combination throwing the election into congress via the 12th.

An all out revolution with unarmed people.

Your self-delusion is profound.

140 Officers were Injured in Capitol Riot, Officials Say​

‘I hope you suffer’: Ex-D.C. officer confronts Jan. 6 attacker in court​

​

A member of the mob that launched a series of violent attacks on police — including D.C. officer Michael Fanone — in a tunnel under the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, apologized Tuesday as a judge sentenced him to seven years and two months in prison.

Kyle Young, 38, is the first rioter to be sentenced for the group attack on Fanone, who was dragged into the mob, beaten and electrocuted until he suffered a heart attack and lost consciousness.

“You were a one-man wrecking ball that day,” Judge Amy Berman Jackson said. “You were the violence.”

[snip]

Young and his 16-year-old son joined the tunnel battle just before 3 p.m., and Young handed a stun gun to another rioter and showed him how to use it. When Fanone was pulled from the police line, Young and his son pushed through the crowd toward him.

Just after that, authorities said, another rioter repeatedly shocked Fanone with the stun gun, and Young helped restrain the officer as another rioter stole his badge and radio.

Young lost his grip on Fanone as the mob moved. He then pushed and hit a nearby Capitol Police officer, who had just been struck with bear spray, according to documents filed with his plea.

Young also pointed a strobe light at the officers, jabbed at them with a stick and threw an audio speaker toward the police line, hitting another rioter in the back of the head, prosecutors said.

Man Who Dragged Officer Into Jan. 6 Mob Is Sentenced to 90 Months​

As part of his plea, Mr. Head, a 43-year-old construction worker, admitted that during the violence outside the Capitol, he grabbed Mr. Fanone around the neck and told the crowd around him, “I got one!” Mr. Head then forcibly hauled Mr. Fanone down the Capitol steps and into the mob, where he was beaten, kicked and attacked with a stun gun.

Some in the crowd tried to strip Mr. Fanone of his service weapon as one rioter threatened to kill him with his own gun.

What were you doing on January 6 while the rest of the country was watching the insurrection live? Hiding in a cave?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Stormed or were allowed to enter?

You tell me

 

[Catsnmeters]

Yes. If they had stalled long enough. That was the plan as I'm sure you know.

That aside, by law, yes, even a small amount of people can commit an insurection.

Do you not have access to dictionaries?

 

[jc456]

Wouldnt have been much of a revolution with 5 people.
How disappointing.

Like Hans Solo going into the death star to take them on.

What an incredibly stupid question. Where were you on January 6 while the entire country was watching the insurrection live? Hiding in a cave?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yet only 5 people were there to take over the gubmint

And you have spoken to them all and know why they were there?

I am pretty sure his 5th grader teacher did not allow them to watch it

Our democracy was almost overthrown by a few thousand people. It took shooting one of them mounting the last barricade, and the Secretary of Defense calling out the National Guard to stop it.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump sat jerking off in front of his TV for over three hours while his family, his staff, his lickspittles in Congress, and his media propagandists were all calling for him to DO SOMETHING.

Trump instead chose to stoke the mob by siccing them on his Vice President.

So they found someone they could intimidate. Nothing new there. His testimony means nothing.

You should post this at least 10 more times - maybe it will seem even more clever to you.

RESPONSE:
"Look, son, if you are unable, unwilling, or simply do not.......act like an educated adult who was instructed by quality parents.....then why are you on an adult discussion venue?
You make your avatar look foolish.
You make your parents look unqualified and ineffective.
You look under-educated.
Why do you do that?"

I give what I think people deserve, and you deserve nothing but scorn.

 

[Blaster]

And you know why they were there?

Sightseeing?

Laughing......and the tinfoil has spoken!

Anyone who doesn't ape the conspiracy....is part of the conspiracy.

Well, you deluded fools were clearly all being given instructions by your propagandists to deny what everyone else in America saw with their own eyes!

"Derpderpderp...they wuz just trespassin!"

"Derpderpderp...it looked like a normal tourist visit!"

"Derpderpderp...they wuz allowed in!"

Etc., etc., etc.

 

[martybegan]

Why do you believe more police support you. Especially after actual police were attacked and some died? POlice, like everyone, tend to frown on that.

Like being shot at out of a tent by some eco-nut?

Right now far more police die are at risk from direct lefty aggression and lefty mandated criminal coddling than anything the right is coming up with.
