ok ok it's not just Americans but they lead the field in falling for this kind of thing. Can they not see they are just the mark in a con by people like Alex Jones?

7 y fella here:

A jury found Mr. Reffitt guilty on five felony charges in March, including obstructing Congress’s certification of the 2020 presidential election, carrying a .40-caliber pistol during the riot and two counts of civil disorder. Unlike others who breached the building, Mr. Reffitt did not go inside.

He didnt hang around the senate chamber waving tie-backs and shouting "where is Mike Pence I want to hang him" - I thought he had.

He was armed tho

Some on the Donald thread have strikingly similar views as Jones.
They scare me more than the shooters.
The shooters can be taken out with extreme prejudice, those who deny such events are beyond any medical help.

My thoughts too fatticus. It's not the actual clowns that are scary - Trump, Jones, TV evangelists, etc etc.
They're laughable.

It's the people that follow them that are frightening.

Jones called the parents liars. They sued for defamation and won, because they weren't liars. They were, in fact, the parents of a murdered child.

Some would like to portray Jones, rather than the parents he defamed, as the victim ...

Peter Pedant: "...carrying a .40-caliber pistol during the riot "... "He didnt hang around the senate chamber waving tie-backs and shouting "where is Mike Pence I want to hang him" - I thought he had." @22:25 Sat 06th Aug 2022 --- were you 'mislead' Peter ?

At least, and last, an accurate description [ riot ] of the politicized brouhaha of 6 Jan 2020.... almost an Epiphany.
