only somebody who is stupid or evil, motivated by the devil would lie and say they could “overthrow the government.”
"Overthrow the government"????
That wasn't the goal Franklin.
Rather, it was to 'keep' the current government. The Trump Administration.
Not everybody who participated in the January 6th attack on the Capitol planned to do so. Sure, they were mad because Don Trump told 'em to be mad using the big lie about a crooked national election to make 'em mad. Many of those folks got into a 'mob-think' and went with the flow. Some of 'em clobbered a police officer. Some of 'em stole laptops and office items. But they didn't come to DC with the intention to be violent or thieves.
However, Proud Boys and Oathkeepers ...DID .....come with the intent and the preparation to do so.
And therein lies the difference. They were organized. And organized with a purpose. Such is sedition.
And lastly, Franklin there is a difference between assaulting the Capitol of the United States of America and a police precinct station in a midwestern city. One has ginormous national ...even world.....implications. The other is a local issue. That's a distinciton that makes a difference.
*BTW, You might be interested in knowing that it was a RWNJ Boogaloo Bois , Ivan Hunter, -who drove from Texas in order to 'stir-the-pot' and accelerate the unrest ----well it was that nutter who set the fire, who got arrested, for the 3rd Precinct destruction. Boogaloo Bois ain't BLM.
