I'm sure many of the people that walked in the Capital that day, as well as the vast majority of those on the streets this summer during the riots, are just very dumb sheeple sucked in to the mob mentality. Play stupid games win stupid prizes for sure, but putting labels on people without having the full scope of their involvement or intention doesn't help anyone. She could have simply walked in to the Capitol buildings and taken some pictures and left, who knows. But like everyone that walked in she was on camera.
True terrorism is gruesome and incredibly violent. This woman's an idiot but she isn't enslaving and torturing families, beheading people alive, committing mass genocide, blowing up shopping centres in OKC, or even mass shooting country concerts or gay nightclubs. Let's bring some perspective back instead of trying to grandstand and pour more gas on the inferno.
| They are literally terrorists, as you see in the definition posted above. Not all terrorists are suicide bombers or airline hijackers. There's everyone from recruiters, to propagandists, to harborists, bankers, dealers, etc.
This isn't "stupid games" 5 people died that day, including a cop who was beat to death with American Flags, MAGA flags, Blue Lives Matters flags, and a fire extinguisher. It was gruesome and incredibly violent.
She may not have been the one to smash that cop's skull in, but her tolerance / acceptance / encouragement / provocation of Trump's fictitious reality is what allowed it to happen. And it's causing more people to escalate, which is why Parler got shut down. They were literally planning more terrorist attacks based on people like the fantasy coordinated by Trump, his goons, and allowed to grow by people like her. As someone said "the worst is yet to come". There may be bombers (someone brought a bomb to the capitol btw, but failed to set it off) hijackers, kidnappers, shooters. There will also be propagandists, sign holders, people like this woman. All intent on terrorizing America in order to overthrow democracy and fulfill their cult fantasy. They're terrorists.
This can't be tolerated in any way or it's only going to get worse and worse. This isn't a case of random looters piggybacking off a huge protest movement. These are True Believers. |
