Erie county NY has the second highest arrests out of the entire country for the January 6th DC rally.

It was a protest against a stolen election, nothing more.  Nobody "stormed" anything and nobody was armed.  The only person killed was an unarmed white woman, shot by a black Capital cop.

A lot of people have been arrested.  how many have been convicted?  As far as I know only a few pleaded guilty to get the govt off their case.

This is leftist intimidation of conservative free speech, period.

hmmm im a republican but yes people had pepper spray, people had bats and other hand weapons and yes they stormed the capitol broke out doors and windows and over powered a police line and tore barricades down, you sound like the left news saying BLM protests were peaceful as there was buildings in the back ground a blaze.

Trump got 'em all worried that he will make a comeback...I hope he does, wins (again) in a landslide, and stomps out the leftists. Why can't these leftist idiots buy a one way plane ticket outta the country and leave us alone? just set up shop in Cuba and go away. This crap has got to stop.

If the majority of the protesters did that, and that was the goal of the protest, you might have a point.  If the entire crowd "stormed" the Capital building, they would have taken it apart.  That didn't happen.  There will always be a few people in every protest that take things too far, but the majority were there to make a point, and that's all they were there for.

The majority of those arrested did nothing violent.  They set no fires.  They assaulted nobody.  All they did was occupy the Capital building.  If they wore masks like the leftist ANTIFA crowd always does, the govt wouldn't even know who to arrest.  Arrests are rarely made when ANTIFA or BLM riots, burning looting and killing people, or trying to destroy federal property.  And if they are arrested, leftist politicians post their bail and then rally to drop the charges.

I stand by my assessment.  This is a case of leftists in power, persecuting Trump supporters for exercising their right to assemble and protest against a stolen election.  The left is trying to silence that. 

This is a perfect example of leftist hypocrisy, manipulation and propaganda to vilify the opposition.

None are so blind as those who refuse to see.

What's worse is people that think they see and that their view is the only one.

No people who assume things like that are the worst.

People who form an opinion based on analysis of all views and their flaws, have objectively looked at all sides and rejected some.  Unlike the folks who swallow what they're handlers tell them to.
