Spare Me The Theatrics

John Petrolino
5

The subject of the so-called “Insurrection of January 6th” is one that really does not need much coverage. One commenter recently referred to discussing the capitol riot in a certain light, or whatever you want to call “the event”, as a “RINO-type capitulation of First Amendment Rights” with the article in question “effectively ‘carrying water’ for the left.” And then went on to explain it was a trap of Admiral Ackbar proportions. However, we wish to classify what occurred last year, there is no denying that there was illegal behavior and several misguided persons acted (of their own free will and accord). There is a stain in the rolls and records of American history because of it.

Can we speculate about how many set-ups were involved surrounding the 6th of 2021? Sure can. Were there allegedly so many FBI informants and people working with the FBI that FBI sympathizers found themselves perhaps in a car with another FBI sympathizer, unknowingly reporting on one another to the fuzz? Yeah. From what can be gathered, that happened. Speculate until the sun comes up, we can do that for sure. However, at the end of the day there were adult human beings that made conscious decisions to engage in illegal behavior. Some of it was sophomoric. Some of the “actors” looked simply like tourists in the Capitol building. The other side of the coin, and what many could consider a more terrifying portion of “the event,” is the fact that so many have been jailed without having their cases heard in an expeditious manner and other allegations of bad treatment of those imprisoned from arrests that resulted from more alleged involvement. How many of these prisoners were arrested with the charges of “insurrection?” Anyone?

That’s not what this is all about though. What this is all about is the constant rallying cry that the “pinkos” are bellowing out, using “THE INSURRECTION” to better position their shaky pulpit. There’s so much coverage and hyperbolic garbage coming out from the progressive anti-freedom caucus that it’s disgusting. Mainstream media is just gushing with envious joy while putting on a terrified face, talking about how we damn near witnessed the death of democracy – never mind the republic.
