The video is good (the cut to black stuff is not needed) But there is no footage from the victim's side: security camera video, police body cams (if they even have them) I thought that was odd. And I would have loved to hear the officers who were insulted, attacked and beaten
By now we know that there were organizers, instigators, tourists and gawkers but just a few interviews from the 5 victims' families would have shamed the GOP. By removing the emotional and human context of the riot we let the previous admin literally get away with murder.
Ultimately this is about a dethroned criminal organization victimizing and defrauding all voters and murdering people who were doing their job. There can be no mercy for someone who was elected, swore to uphold the constitution and then grossly violated it.
A criminal organization defined by RICO may be a more appropriate charge. The President recruited, cultivated and directed a vast criminal organization on top of his own family grifts. Did the rioters inside become part of that criminal organization? nolo.com/legal-encyclop…
If a crime boss of a multi-layered criminal organization motivates a crowd into violated a federal offense..Who is innocent and who is guilty? Who is to blame if that action leads to deaths and federal laws violated because the leader needed a mob to disrupt an event? #LockHimUp

YouTube well intentioned attempt to show the world on my birthday. Ridley stole Rick Smolan's "Day in the Life' jam and called it "Life in a Day" .
Smolan had a small industry based on cranking coffee table books called Day in a Life" inc.com/daniel-wolfman…
for many years the ultimate ego stroke was a vanity coffee table book that you would pay for and use a promotional item. Now books are just those things you see in the background of blurry zoom calls. architecturaldigest.com/story/should-y…
"Less than one percent of Americans do what you do: put yourself on the line for the rest of the 99 percent of the Americans you represent."
The actual number of active duty is 1.3 million which is less than one half of 1 percent of the U.S. population. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The number of active duty troops could expand with just under half a million national guard members. In active theaters like Centcom there are 1.5 contractors to each military member. America also have a vast military industrial complex. csis.org/analysis/us-mi…
If you add "Homeland Defense", US-based contractors, and the supply and service system it becomes increasingly larger. Here are 2018 numbers: washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…

Those of us who have spent time inside and on the ground with terrorist groups understand the rhetoric and motivation tools perfectly. The president of a nation invented a fake terrorist group and a fake crisis to justify terrorist acts by his followers. journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…

The corruption began in 2015 with George Nader who consorted with Prince, Broidy, Kushner, Bannon and many others to inject corrupt ideas/bribes into the previous administration. Once the UAE/KSA/Israel had their hooks in, hundreds of bizarre deals flowed. thebulwark.com/maga-grift-goe…
While Kushner, Broidy and Prince milked the Middle East, Rudy and crew were sent to the Ukraine to invent kompromat on the Bidens. Their Weiner weaksauce laptop scandal rehash was punted to Bannon and Guo. #FuckeryFailFestcnn.com/2021/02/10/pol…
