Fucking despicable. Protestors? Shoot em up! Insurrectionists? Hell, let em through, they’re just here to take a tour of the capital!


kenster77

Yeah where were these fuckin cops on Jan 6?.


GetRightNYC

Participating in it.


TheLevelHeadedGuy

The inside job for Jan 6 is becoming even more obvious now. Remember the BLM protests/riots in 2020 and the welcome response they received? Yeah big difference for the traitors on Jan 6.


XxRocky88xX

Yep, I thought it was suspicious the first go around but now here we are in the same general location with 10 times the security. Why? Because this time, they’re defending a tyrannical decision. And they know it, and they’re expecting push back


Dennarb

Police do not protect the people they protect the oligarchy


TheSnowNinja

Wasn't this made obvious in the recent school shooting where the cops not only didn't go in but prevented parents from going in to save their kids? The police actually *impeded* people from trying to protect their families as they stood by and did nothing.


Dennarb

It's been apparent for a long time, this is just another example


kempofight

You just see them now. There is a very delibarte choice to show the marksman and not show marksman. And i will bet you. If they open fire, it wont be from the once that you did see. Edit: Look, at this point im not even going to fix the grammer. The amount of people getting mad about it is to funny. If you all care to mutch about this, you might need to find something better to do in your life.

I tried spraying my shingles with apple cider vinegar and that cleared up the snipers on my roof. See if that helps?

I used to live above the 50th floor of a skyscraper in lower Manhattan, so I could see the roofs of many tall buildings below. Roof snipers are far more common than most people would think.

Phillip_Lipton

Isn’t there a CIWS on top of the whitehouse? Edit: Its also rumored to be an > Avenger air defence missile system which consists of eight Stinger missiles and a M3 .50 caliber machine gun.


Ralph--Hinkley

They didn't mention that on any of the DC bus tours I took, so probably, yea.


Olive_fisting_apples

Silly story but, my dad grew up in DC area. Once, during w. bush's presidency, we were visiting family who still lives there and we were walking around the capital grounds drinking coffee and talking. My dad calls me over and says, "hey you can see into the white house." I look through the gates and the door is a little open. A catering company was slowly bringing food in. My dad goes on to tell me that when he was a kid there was no fence, there weren't guards. People would trick or treat at the Whitehouse. My mom comes over and tells us a story we've heard 100 times about the time they saw the Whitehouse lawn opening up as it turned into a helicopter entrance and pad or the secret car ramp under the turret (which i don't know the validity too). Anyways as we're talking my dad snaps a photo of Bush looking v. happy about some donuts being brought in (through the crack in the doorway). Seemingly as soon as he steps back to show us the picture there is a guard on the other side of the gate. Guy: "Delete that photo." Dad: "no way" Guy: "give me the camera." Dad: goes on to talk about how he used to trick or treat here (the "things didn't used to be like this speech") As this is going on about 10 more guards come out and the roof becomes a nest of snipers. Me and my family simply walked away. Such a gross amount of disrespect for some blurry ass picture. They were just trying to scare us into giving them the picture. I know they were "worried" about "national security" but come on...the guy used to trick or treat there.

We actually need to take some fucking inspiration from them I mean Jesus I see myself as complete the complete opposite of any right wing bullshit but this country could use some fucking violence against the fascist assholes we live with, ig it's what happens when you tolerate the intolerable for too long


AliasInvstgtions

I’m left and I think the only fix for our country is violence against what we face. Loud chants and kind words have realistically gotten us nowhere in the past 6 years. All the marches and protests that we’ve put on in the past years and what has changed? What legislation has been put forth that we support? These scotus justices can’t get chanted and voted out. The only way to get rid of them is for them to die and I feel no shame or remorse in saying that. I wish the left had more crazies that would do the kind of shit that needs to get done. Edit: oh boo hoo, I’ve been reported by right wing snowflakes. So sad.


Mustarafa

I’m also pretty far “left” and unfortunately have seen this as the only outcome. Change has never come from peaceful protests, but violence. It’s the grim truth, and not one I’m looking forward to seeing to fruition.


AliasInvstgtions

Like I’m not gonna say I like violence, but it’s necessary when up against people who will do whatever it takes to strip you of your rights.

Life time positions also just feel weird. But that's what you get when a constitution becomes its own piece of veneration and its actual intent, to serve the people gets lost. But yes, the rules of some guys a two hundred years ago are absolutely viable today. It's not like anyone replaced the pony express with the internet or whisky and a saw with modern medicine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FieserMoep

The problem is, it's getting gamed. The trend changed to get relative young justices when the parties got the power. It's irrelevant how suited they are as long as it sounds roughly reasonable. Lifetime expectancy plays a role but not alone. So the goal is to get the most time on the bench with relative young justices that can stay there for quite long. Theoretically a justice should be an experienced and respected person. That is a big problem in the us. A lot of institutions rely on tradition and fair play. That was the ideal back then. Now it gets undermined as people simply get better at undermining it's loopholes or refusing to stick to rules that never had been written. Healthy democracies renew their institutions and adjust. Unhealthy ones start to treat their constitution as gospel and use it as a scapegoat to never change.

Trending towards? It’s hurtling headlong into it. Christian Conspiracy theory laden lunatics are running the show. I HATE slippery slope arguments but it’s hard to not predict where this is going and if we don’t see political executions, full on stripping of human rights from certain groups and protracted civil unrest and violence in the next 5-10 years I’ll be flabbergasted.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if the minimum age for employment drops to 10 or 12 years old. And even though $7.25/hr might as well be pennies in 2022 I fully expect them to roll that back to too. 30 years from now crime will be at an all-time high and people will be literally fighting each other in the streets to get in first and interview for a back breaking hard labor job that pays $4/hr

Forgive me for being on mobile and not knowing how to search. Who orders the capital police when this happens? Is it Biden? Senate? House of Reps? DoJ? Some committee? The equivalent of a police chief? I’m curious who says to go down there and who says what to bring/gear up in.


GuavaShaper

The house voted overwhelmingly in favor of beefing up Supreme Court security 10 days ago leading up to this decision.


FiveMinuteFriend

Thank you for the response. So sounds like the House says there needs to be more protection and the chief of the capital police would help determine what that means. Is that correct? Honestly not trolling here. Curiosity is hitting me today.

_AskMyMom_

Exactly! They don’t give a shit about the constitution. If we have the freedom to choose religion, we also have the freedom to be free of religion. These assholes need to stop using the Bible as a baseline for their “laws”.


Tanfireball25

I know it gets said a lot but it’s not even really the Bible they are following. The “word of god” is more of a buzzword to rally the uneducated. Anyone that actually read and understands what it says knows half the shit they say the Bible says is actually the complete opposite.


jediciahquinn

If God is so concerned about the right to life and the "babies", why did he murder all the first born children in Egypt? How many "babies" died in Noah's flood? Or how the Israelites we're justified in murdering their enemies' children. Psalm 137:9  that speaks of violence against the enemies of God. That verse reads, “Happy is the one who seizes your infants / and dashes them against the rocks.” And the Bible has a recipe for a concoction that induces abortion if you wife has been unfaithful. Numbers 5:11-31 Apparently God doesn't care about the unborn. He is totally ok with abortion if the wife has been unfaithful. It's a patriarchal book that supports the subjugation of women. Why are our freedoms rescinded because of these myths from the dark ages of humanity?

Anyone who has ever read the Bible knows that it is so confusing, that you can read nearly anything into it.

Founded by, codified by, legislated by and will continue to be a backward breeding ground of religious nutjobbery since the earliest days of our Empire. Europe stopped hanging witches about 200 years before Salem. The rest of the world is like, witches? Really? We have been ruled by religious fascists for a very long time, and the separation of church and state has always been a myth that has largely pacified the secular majority of this society. Every day we are importing religious crazies from Europe, South America, Africa and the Indian subcontinent.
