I wonder if any famous runners were among them too?
Who do you think the most likely runner to have been involved is?

I kinda feel bad for the guy. Gonna get crucified by the public for doing the same thing many people did in the summer who received no repercussions and were considered heroes for looting and violence. Guess that's what happens when you mess with the almighty powerful government, alongside their allies known as the sheep who suck up whatever narrative the government/media summons.

No at most he will get is a small up to $100 fine for trespassing, if he does not have a criminal record, he wont even get that, the judge will just say I will give you a warning, but don't do it again.
Olympic Gold Medalist's are TRUE AMERICAN HEROES regardless of their political views. -

The trump terrorist should be in jail for being part of the mob who attacked our government and killed a cop.
Rioters should be jailed too. Rioters are criminals but they didn't plan a coup to keep trump in power.
I don't feel bad for terrorists. Odd that you do. -
He should have worn a costume instead of his Olympic jacket.

Swimming in a sea of stupidity. In his element, apparently.

Yes, and Addicted... and his attitude, are a real problem in this country. The failure to be able to condemn domestic terrorism when its supports Trump, is appalling. His/her switch of the discussion to the rioters (who yes are criminals) is an obvious diversion. Government is not the problem here. The sheep are not those who follow the laws of this country, its those can't call out Trump or his terrorists. -

Pretty sick of hearing this completely ridiculous analogy.
BLM:
1. The actual BLM protests were largely peaceful
2. Bad people took advantage of the situation and looted stores. It's unforgivable and they should be prosecuted.
3. BLM was always about protesting systematic racism and the killing of Black men and women by the police. There is very clear evidence this takes place.
Trump Coup Attempt
1. The President felt he lost an election by fraud
2. He tried all legal avenues to him to challenge said election and failed
3. He's didn't like the results and has been saying lies for the past 2 months the election being stolen and he and his supporters would "win" in the end
4. He tells his 88m followers on Twitter to show up to DC on 1/6 for a rally
5. Goes to rally - has all his people get up on stage and say things like
A. Rudy Guilani - “Let’s have trial by combat.”
B. Mo Brooks - "“Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass,
Are you willing to do what it takes to fight for America? Louder! Will you fight for America?”
C. Donald Trump -"So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love
Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try and give… The
Democrats are hopeless. They’re never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we’re
going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need
any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they
need to take back our country.
6. Rioters go to Capitol just like he told them to do and attack it
7. 5 people are killed based on The Presidents words including 1 police officer.
8. Trump Supporters running around with zip tie flex cuffs, a gallows erected outside the capitol and Trump Supporters telling find and hang Mike Pence.
I really don't think I need to go on but I can. If you have 1 shred of decency and morals you can't compare BLM Movement to what happened on 1/6.
Our way of life, our history, our future were all attacked on that day. I hope the president is removed from office by the senate and if not then I hope they vote post 1/20 and make sure a person like him can never hold office again. -

Setting a dumpster on fire in south Minneapolis or stealing athletic shoes in Los Angeles, summer, 2020 was not the same as attempting to overthrow U.S. government. People were there to kill Pelosi, kill Pence, kill A.O.C. and hold other U.S. Congresspersons as hostages. Keller was part of a huge federal crime. Not the same as a dumpster fire. -
Why is it bad that someone was “at the rally”? There were thousands and thousands of people there peacefully protesting. Only an extremely small minority “stormed” the capitol.
Protest is essential. Being heard is essential. It’s the same concept as BLM. -

3. BLM was always about protesting systematic racism and the killing of Black men and women by the police. There is very clear evidence this takes place. - yet, it devolved into chaos and angry mobs burning buildings and looting stores. I mean,, my goodness, a black police officer was killed trying to keep the peace at one of the BLM riots. If that’s not irony, I don’t know what is. The capitol march were people protesting what they also believed to be an injustice. That’s their right.
Please stop the moral posturing. Your cause is no different or less important to be challenged/expressed than theirs. -

Largely peaceful as the CNN anchor woman said as buildings burned in the background.
The media, the Left, and BLM all legitimized violent political protest in the summer. At the same time you increasingly cancel and silence anybody who disagrees and then shake your heads and blame Orange Man when a minority of the opposition becomes violent??
All the words you quoted by Trump is fairly routine political language. He did not call on his followers to use violence or enter the Capitol. The only reason they managed to is because the police let them in and because security wasn't expecting trouble as Trump protests are nearly always peaceful compared to the Left's. If every politician using words like 'fight' and 'struggle' was condemned you wouldn't have any left. -

I would agree that being at a rally supporting your president isn't bad if that was your only intent. If you desire to hang Pence, kill Pelosi, overthrow the government even if you didnt break into the capital then you may be special and loved by Trump but you're a traitor. -

People were not considered heroes for looting and violence. Not by any appreciable amount of citizens. -

+100. Thanks for this, but you know , there are none so blind as those who will not see. Maybe they'll begin to see now their leader has thrown them under the bus. -

Are you now going to post about all the athletes and celebrities that were at BLM protests and riots? And the celebrities and politicians that donated money to pay bail for people arrested for rioting and looting? vWhat about the athletes and celebrities that have been a protests at the Capitol and elsewhere supporting the Left? Or is it only as issue if they are on the Right that you have an issue?
