    Too bad that the effectiveness of that protest was so much lessened by the lack of tactical gear worn by the protesters, but the industry just has not caught up with new styles that are appropriate for such occasions.

    Ok. If that's how they see it, the then there will almost certainly be another attack.

    Absence of military gear, absence of violence, absence of destruction of property, absence of theft etc

    If this protest happens the effectiveness of it will be to hasten people to support the law

    BLM is a political movement, the riots were political riots. That is why they often targeted courthouses and police stations.

    So what we're allowed to protest in this country.

    Baby prior to idiot Capital police that let the people into the capital and it seems to be guiding them around unlocking doors for them I saw the video.

    I see gives people didn't really want the capital to be breached that day it wouldn't have been.

    But I've always bit of the opinion that it was essentially a Reichstag fire.

    So the silly little Democrats kids sit out there and have their stupid little theater.

    Yes, it did happen in Oklahoma City, that is where the Oklahoma State Capitol is located, as are all state Capitols in their respective State Capitals.

    Protesting laws regarding minimum safety standards for children. Seems they might just be paid opposition

    Anything you wish.
    The DC police is irrelevant to the Capitol events.
    How were they supposed to exclude them from the city?
    Was Washington DC under attack?

    Personally I do not support any kind of riots, but I think most people know they were about social justice (claims about racism and police brutality), not about overturning elections, or to promote any political parties or figures as was the case in Jan-6. I don't recall police stations being targeted, but even if they were, how would that make it "political"?

    Anyway, going back to the topic, do you agree with the OP that this trans protest qualifies as an insurrection / riot / threat to democracy?

    Maybe they protested for the sake of protesting. Who knows, but since there was no violence or destruction or property, it started and ended without incident.

    That can only mean you condone the events of Jan-6.

    Social justice is by definition, political in nature. Police stations were targeted and in some instances they were taken over by protestors (all police left) and protesters even set fire to some, Seattle & Minneapolis come to mind in regards to police stations that they burned down. Then there was the whole CHAZ/CHOP thing where they took over the entire Capital Hill zone in Seattle forcing out all government workers and forcing businesses to give them money while committing arson, assault, rape, and murder. And attacking courthouses and police stations is political because it is targeting political institutions and burning them down in acts of civil disobedience by attacking the government that they disapprove of. It's basically domestic terrorism.

    We were told that on January 6th that people who "occupied" the Capitol were guilty of insurrection and even those who were not violent should be charged. In fact, people who were allowed inside the Capitol by security and were not violent were charged on 1/6. I don't believe the people who "occupied" the Capitol engaged in an insurrection. There were people who engaged in riots on 1/6 and they should be charged appropriately. But, people who wanted to paint everyone with a broad brush on 1/6 will have some cognitive dissonance here.

    Outside of vandalism an idiot cop shooting somebody in the protest what happened? Did somebody put their feet on pelosi's desk and destroy the nation?

    What ever you say. My point: not about overturning elections, or to promote any political parties or figures as was the case in Jan-6.

    Anything on topic? Was this thing in OK a riot / insurrection / threat to democracy as the OP claims?

    Video evidence shows they did a tad more than that. If you want to defend their actions, then so it. I do not support any kind of rioting.

    I would like to challenge these T people and have them scientifically prove to me that surgery and pills can turn a man into a woman but I don’t think they have the balls to do it.

    Ok. Fine with me. But, since this is political speech, I'd suggest that the FBI et al need to engage as well, because, it is the way that the FBI have handled these little things before...

    I recall you suggesting that hunting a supreme court justice was good in your book too.... It's like you have a track record or something here...

    True that. But... when it comes to parental insurance concerns, which is why the age went to 26 it seems. Perhaps if you can convince Obamacare that adults are required to produce their own medical indemnification.... Dems always want their cake and to eat it too...

    I'm afraid you'll have to quote me saying it, because I don't recall saying it.

    Not mandatory. Anyone under 26 can opt out of their parents plans, even you.
