Showing Original Post only (View all)How to reconcile the "quite legal" J6 Rally and the "quite illegal" J6 Riot? [View all]
I see MANY people conflating the rally and the riot, as if the planning for the rally was planning for the riot.
The rally was permitted... gatherings near the Capitol were also granted permits.
What evidence is there of an organized conspiracy to attack the Capitol building, other than a couple 3%'ers or PB's texting each other?

Not a riot, it was a text book insurrection seeing the goal was to stop or overturn the election

The Biden DoJ calls it a riot... you better let them know so they can correct themselves.
