A Week About Limiting Domestic Terrorism, A Week Before Thanksgiving.
We have spent the weeks watching two trials on domestic vigilanty terrorism and murder, the rare censure of a Congressman for passing on threats to a female colleague in the House and to the President, and his party almost totally supporting him in the House, and vowing revenge for his censure.
In one case the three defendants were explicitly told to stand down and let the police take over. In another, the misled, out-of-state juvenile, armed with an AR-15, was passed by several police vehicles bent on protection.
What lessons do these send to other armed vigilantes? Irregardless of the technical details and verdicts of the trials, without vigilante interference, three innocent men would be alive today.
This is the result of our past President condoning domestic terrorism to get his way, calling for the terrorist insurrection to prevent his opponent from constitutionally being declared the victor in a very fair election, carrying on his Big Lie for an entire year, and enforcing with revenge absolute loyalty to his losing and out-of-office self.
This morning, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges. Tying these two stories together, Rep. Gosar has invited Rittenhouse to go to college in Arizona, and other threatening Republicans in the House have suggested that he become a House intern.
Speaking of deaths, in House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s eight hour macho opposition of the humane BBB act, notice the lack of endorsing masking by other Congressional Republicans to fight the pandemic which has taken 765,000 American lives. By now, everyone knows that the virus is spread and received through the nose.
Have a Thankful Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Years America.
