Hate to break it to you. It is not an insurrection until someone is charged and found guilty of it.

You should already know my opinion on this. Each man and woman is responsible for their own actions. Agree or not with the reasons everyone had a right to be there and to peaceful protest. Those that are found guilty of breaking the law MUST be punished to it’s fullest extent. However it’s my opinion this committee is of no real use whatsoever to ‘we the people’. IMO it’s just another self serving government boondoggle and dog and pony show.
Meanwhile, as prices are rising and people are struggling to make ends meet, 4 million dead from a virus. I heard that poor lawyer and street activist from Chicago is planning a big bash for his 60th birthday at his new 30 acre estate, 11.75 million dollar 7,000 SQF mansion in Martha's Vineyard.

Again, in order for there to be an insurrection someone has to be charged and found guilty of it.
What people have been charged with are to name a few: aiding and abetting, conspiracy, obstruction, resisting arrest, theft, entering restricted areas, disorderly and disruptive conduct, assault, parading or picketing in a capitol building, violent entry, obstructing an official proceeding. Of the 591 people charged only 17 have entered guilty pleas.

Fun Fact: the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest in Seattle (remember the Summer of Love?) was an actual insurrection, although it only lasted a month. |

The problem is that federal prosecutions all too often aren't about the rule of law - they're about politics or punishing people who do things the feds don't like even if not unlawful. We're at the point where pretty much the entire *implementation* of the federal government needs to be done away with and a do-over needs to occur that gets back to first principles. The *intent* of the US form of government is solid, but it's been abused and corrupted by people "serving" in government who are in it only to serve themselves - and its exponentially gotten worse starting in the 1960s. The DoJ and FBI can't be trusted to go after people who break the law because they have been proven to have *instigated* the crimes they arrest peopke for. A big mouth internet tough guy who wants to kidnap a governor has no means of doing so until the FBI provides material support and encouragement, then they arrest the person they pushed into doing the illegal activity and then act as if they've just done great police work and stopped crimes from happening - that's no different than a firefighter who commits arson so that they can look good responding to the fire... |

"The zone was a self-organized space, without official leadership. Protesters united behind three main demands: "Cut Seattle's $409-million police budget by 50 percent. Shift funding to community programs and services in historically black communities. Ensure that protesters would not be charged with crimes."" You can discuss how much sense some of those demands made (), but it sure was not a planned plot to overthrow the constitution of the USA.

You're not seriously claiming that Jan 6th was a planned plot to overthrow the US Constitution. What's next, you going to claim it was worse than 9-11? You wouldn't be the first...

The Jan 6th "insurrection" was nothing more than a one-off protest that got out of hand. to describe it as anything different is hyperbole to increase ratings or political power period. |

I do think there was a plan by the militia groups to prevent the counting of electoral votes minimally. There were also people there looking for Pence and chanting hang Mike Pence and the like. There is plenty of cell phone video of that if you choose to watch it and after breaking into the building a threat like that must be taken seriously.
