I'm assuming long prison sentences will follow...right?

Right?

Seven demonstrators were busted Monday after they barged into and briefly occupied House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) office, according to Capitol Police.

The protesters were seeking a five-year reauthorization of PEPFAR, a George W. Bush-era program that provides government funding for HIV and AIDS treatment, prevention and research.

“Pass PEPFAR now,” the group chanted as security personnel warned that they would be arrested if they remained.

The activists were later stood up against the wall outside McCarthy’s office and handcuffed.

They kept demanding PEPFAR’s renewal as authorities escorted them away, in a scene captured on video by Politico reporter Alice Miranda Ollstein.

I read about a Jan guy that got 22 yrs and wasnt there so I'm guessing at least three decades

[Dr.3D]

Did any glue themselves to the furniture?

[TheTexan]

Definitely a Class C insurrection

These people look extremely guilty. Yes, they should be fined and possibly imprisoned.

The J6 people faced the insurrection charges, these people won't and I don't think were attempting one.

Yeah the J6 people got excessive sentences. I feel bad about that, but blame Trump for their problems.

And whom do you blame for these people's lack of problems?

[dannno]

Did they get his aids?

[TheCount]

If people can go in a bank while it's open and walk away scot free, why do people who go in a bank while it's closed get charged with a crime?

[dannno]

Does anybody here know anybody who has died of AIDS?

I knew a guy who had it, he lived for 25 years and then died of a heart attack in his 60s.

[dannno]

Poor analogy, the Capitol was open, police opened the doors and welcomed in most of the people who got charged.

Which ones and how many of the J6 protesters were "attempting" an insurrection? What actions did they take to further this "insurrection"?

[Brian4Liberty]

...

Yes.

[69360]

The ones found guilty of it in federal court. Some were just tresspassing, some committed property crimes etc. I'm actually getting tired of discussing them. They were idiots who followed Trump. From what I understand a majority of them regret that.

So if a federal court found the protesters in McCarthy's office guilty of insurrection, then it would be true? I'm still not clear where this magical line is that divides citizens touring the building, from trespassing, from protesting, from disobedience, and from insurrection.

Seems like out of all of those, that "insurrection" is a thought crime, inferred and imposed upon someone by outsiders, and deemed to be true when indicted and convicted.

It's insurrection when The Party says it's insurrection, comrade.

[dannno]

Yes.

Are you sure that the AIDS was caused by the HIV virus?

Drug addicts can get AIDS, some AIDS medications can give you AIDS, anal sex can cause bacterial diseases that can lead to AIDS. Some top doctors and scientists don't even believe HIV virus causes AIDS. Not many are outspoken, but being outspoken gets you cancelled, so we know how that goes.

I feel like after about 2005, nobody even talked about it anymore. It was such a huge issue from the early 90s to the early 2000s. What happened?

I lived in a college town in the early 2000s with tens of thousands of promiscous students, not once did I hear of anybody getting even HIV.. and the only guy I know who had it was an old gay dude who was very promiscuous in the 80s in NYC.. and he didn't even die of AIDS, lived with HIV about 25 years, took mostly "alternative" non-FDA approved medications and died of a candy overdose (heart attack, but he was addicted to sugar and candy).

Remember, Fauci lorded over the AIDS pandemic...

[Anti Globalist]

No prison sentences for these guys. It's (D)ifferent when they do it.

I believe it is caused by the HIV virus. It destroys the immune system, and people die of other things.

I didn't know any straight people who caught it, just gay people. There were a variety of factors that made it worse back then. More than anything, the drugs to treat it (but not cure), became much better and much more tolerable.

Like COVID, many early "treatments" only made it worse.

Also back then there were false medical claims that made it transmit more easily. They claimed that Nonoxynol-9 prevented infection, when in fact it made it transmit easier.

Then there was the "movement" for all the gay people to give and catch it, thus they could continue with the bath-house culture. If everybody has it, then they could do whatever they wanted with whoever as much as they want. My hypothesis is that the people who continued in the bath-house culture died from it, while people who became celibate or monogamous survived because they weren't involved in that. Instead of being infected one time with one variant, the bath-house people were continually exposing themselves to new strains and a variety of infections (while having a damaged immune system).

Well, in a manner, of speaking that is exactly what government did on 9/11.

If two people say the same thing, should I reply twice?

Right... that's what you do. Everyone is saying the same thing except for you.

[TheCount]

Oh well if everyone else is saying the same thing then I must definitely be wrong...

[A Son of Liberty]

Uh, no. Apparently your sarcasm detector is broken.

Everyone isn't saying the same thing. But you selectively respond to the low hanging fruit. Almost every time...

Zippy did it much better.

He never should have been banned.

The whole argument is low hanging fruit. All the J6 threads are basically the same: "Why is this completely different situation treated differently?!?"

[Anti Federalist]

How many threads do you think we'd have if the sun burnt out and stopped shining?

I doubt anybody here is asking "why".

We all know why.

People are just pointing out examples, and how those examples are becoming more blatant and egregious every single day.

When the system drops all pretenses of "justice", when it starts jailing political prisoners by the thousands, well, that is big news.

At least to Boobus anyways.

[TheCount]

People are just pointing out examples, and how those examples are becoming more blatant and egregious every single day.

People's examples are stupid.

These two actions are not the same:
1) Entering a place that you are permitted to be on a day that place is open to the public
2) Entering a place that you are not permitted to be on a day that place is closed to the public


You can legally go in the lobby of your bank when it is open.
You cannot legally go into the vault of your bank when it is closed.
