Well this makes me the outlier, I guess , and I cannot dismiss the violation of the capitol building using violence ,
But this was a demonstration of people’s right to dissent in a society that is suppose to allow free speech .
And yes , I am one of the crazies , that believe the conspiracy theories about 9/ 11 . And will wonder about the facts forever.
Bu t did no one ever consider that these knotheads probably figured they were exercising their own version of free speech in some radicalized mindset . Now that I have probably alienated everyone.
There is one factoid missing , These people did have a permit for their protest, that they got before their activities .
Abeit a bit on the extreme side….
You haven't alienated me, but I think you are missing the differentiating factor of breaching the Capital building itself, with the intent of interfering with the process of government. That piece isn't free speech anymore, and I'm not sure how anyone can see it as such. I believe that is the turning point on the merits of our differing views. Even so, you are entitled to see it as you see it ... and I am entitled to tell you I think you are wrong.
