    I think he lied to Congress so he is most likely lying about this. This is the guy who claimed Trump never knew Pence was in danger on Jan 6th, and couldn't pronounce Philadelphia.

    I don't have "guys" - I represent only myself. I have no problems criticizing the idiot Antifa or the idiot MAGA rioters without
    fears of hypocrisy.

    Irrational progressive visions of reform and revolution have crafted the reality of totalitarianism and genocide. Big Government is an existential threat to American and humanity.

    "The great high-modernist episodes that we have examined qualify as tragedies in at least two respects. First, the visionary intellectuals and planners behind them were guilty of hubris, of forgetting that they were mortals and acting as if they were gods. Second, their actions, far from being cynical grabs for power and wealth, were animated by a genuine desire to improve the human condition - a desire with a fatal flaw . . . optimistic views of progress and rational order . . . ecumenical character of the high-modernist faith."
    James C. Scott, SEEING LIKE A STATE, How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Conditions Have Failed, Yale Agrarian Studies, New Haven - Yale University Press, 1998. (342).

    Yes, all of the lawyers said that everyone who invaded the Capitol should go to jail. I am sure they loved hearing that.

    Black Lives Matter/AntiFa must know that if black lives mattered to DP politicians they would have removed the Jim Crow gun control laws that have disarmed black Americans in the violent urban hell holes ruled by the DP.

    I'm not going to call you a hypocrite because with that statement you don't seem to be. The hypocrites are the people who called last summer's rioters peaceful, the people who urged on the rioters, the people who said destroying property is not violent, the people who threatened to sue Trump if he tried to stop the riots, the people who said all sorts of things from Harris to Waters to news anchors, the people who said using the national guard to stop the riots was the act of a Nazi while they used the NG to protect the capital.

    You understand he said that BEFORE any violence erupted? You’re about as informed as the Democrats were editing video clips together with partial quotes completely out of context. It’s just so pathetic and sad. Why don’t you include what he said before that phrase ? Oh that’s right. Because it blows your false narrative and lies up. So pathetic.

    Instead of looking at this as "who's more violent, the right or left", an we just agree that harassing someone for doing their job is LAME as was implied in the OP?

    No that character's House should not have been attacked AND Trump should not have excited or enticedTrump's Terrorists to attack the House of the Government aka the Capitol. Neither is an excuse for the other one.

    Lame is too soft of a word to describe an attack on the House of a defense attorney or any attorney.

    I'd have at least went with "And that goes for those Portland rioters too" but I do admire your transparency nonetheless!!

    Just a thought. Until the bad actor(s) are discovered anyone could be credited as responsible. For those who claim victimization (ref. your suggestion that the "rioters" may feel betrayed), I think it best to look within oneself for the explanation of one's circumstance as a consequence of individual acts or decisions. Blaming others, seems to me, is the unwillingness to accept any personal responsibility for one's behavior and current circumstance.

    I think it is par for the cancel culture course and, yes it has to stop. It will stop when some of the people who do this sort of thing become familiar with the inside of a jail cell.

    Just about every high-profile person involved in anything remotely political and scandalous these days claims to be getting death threats and vandalism.

    There’s a lot of awful people on both sides.

    Really they just wrote on his sidewalk.

    Seems like a false flag to me. I can't believe anyone watching the trial had any personal animous against Van Der Veen that would drive anyone to vandalize anything.

    I'd almost bet money he'll get one tattooed on his chest, if not already. ;)

    Wrote on his sidewalk ! Talk about childish. But would Trump fans stoop to such false flag actions? Let me think for a nano second. Yup!

    Is there any real proof that this guy's house was actually "attacked"?
    As I said earlier if this is true then of course it is wrong. If this is a Trumpian type lie then that is beyond despicable.

    Nobody but the people involved know if it's true or not. Nevertheless, why would someone lie about something like that? I'm not saying they wouldn't. I just don't see what is gained by speaking out about it.
