Trying to figure out how Black people singing to protest the Senate’s failure to pass voting rights laws got arrested yesterday while Jan 6 insurrectionists walked freely out of the building after they violently overran it.

1. Never ceases to amaze

16. Because...

One's Civil Rights appears to be inversely proportional to an individual's amount of Melanin.

17. Nailed it!

2. So fucking wrong.

I am so angry and frustrated by these injustices that I just want to scream at the top of my lungs! What can we do about this? I feel so helpless.

15. Sorry there was no injustice being done, it was simple politics......

Congresswoman Joyce Beatty or someone else called up all the news agencies and told them to be at the
Senate Office Building at such and such time and I'm sure they told the Capitol Police also. Beatty knows
what's against Senate rules (singing?) and wanted to get arrested along with her co demonstrators to bring
national attention to the For the People Act. She was successful as all evening TV news reported on what
happened. It's how politics works, bring exposure to your side of the debate.

3. intelligence failure?

they sure like to rub our noses in their bullshit.

4. I asked that last night.....

and who did the arresting? Was it the Capitol Police?
Weren't they the ones pizzed because the RepubliQans wouldn't honor their lost and wounded comrades?
You would think that this would be the time to step up and make a point.....

9. Critical Race Theory Will Have A Field Day

With 1/6 because of how it drives home the whole concept behind Ceitical Race Theory and the fact that the condition is just getting worse and worse.

11. Same here, Joyce, same here

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. As are we all.

Screaming at the tv when they showed those insurrectionists leaving the capital and walking away. I was furious they weren’t being thrown into paddy wagons! Just screaming!
