Yeah and guns kill people and McDonald’s make people fat.
Speaking to reporters, Senator Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, said that, after reviewing footage of the riot, “It’s plain to see that this was just a bunch of middle-school kids who got a little rowdy.”

Take responsibility for your own actions.

Not solely, but in a massive way. Hear me out, I think you'll agree.
There can be arguments all day about who is responsible for the events at the Capitol.....Yet there is clear violation of free speech at present, running individual rights into the ground under a mountain of beaurocracy and legalese.
Suppression of opinions and ideas which have the right to be voiced, instead force-feeding us cherry-picked propaganda fuel.
Such corrupt tactics have no place in a world and age that claims to fight for the rights of free speech and expressive liberty.
--------------------------------------------
Manipulation of our collective communication technologies, especially social media, is destroying our ability to malleate and react realistically to social traumas.
We can't share the whole story so we can't react according to the closest version of truth, only one side of it. Their side.
Of course, the only voice control freaks want to hear is their own, especially when they aren't the ones speaking.
This sort of rigidity is always dangerous when it comes to social freedoms because it doesn't allow the depressurization that comes with variability.
It doesn't allow the true voice of the social mind and human experience to express itself or exist in benefit of itself.
Enclosed pressure will always seek an outlet of weakness to force itself through. People do much the same when pressed en masse.
What does a firecracker do when detonated in a closed hand? The open palm is barely phased while the tight hold loses fingers.
By allowing only one narrative, the frustrated unspoken are driven to more extreme methods of expression.
Back an animal into a corner and it will have no choice but to lash out tooth and claw. This is nature.
Such is true for all these riots as well. It isn't the people's wanted decision, it's their manipulated reaction.

Our media platforms create such friction by disallowing free speech in the name of protection and suppression of violence and hate.
They bury controversial and sensitive topics under mountains of garbage and nonsense if they don't erase their sources first.
Seriously, just try Googling anything you know to be conspiracy, and then try it on DuckDuckGo and see how much they hide from you.
Watch a 5 hour documentary on 9/11 and just try to find any of the used clips or interviews on YouTube/Google. They're almost all gone.
Their suppression of the discussions we care deeply about
The way they shut down and disallow ideas alternative to theirs
Destruction and sabotage of legitimate vectors of free and fair conversation
Killing off of the human soul and experience in the name of profit and control
------------------------------------
this has built a pressure amongst tens of millions of people, and once again the pot boiled over and exploded given a small outlet of release.
And it doubtlessly will again.

Funny that,
And there's me thinking that this Capitol riot was in fact a conspiracy, and not an all day argument planned and acted out, with all the usual patsies, and nutballs thrown in for their historic colour, garnished by a President who has low opinion of just about everybody, but himself.
Just glorify Trump all you want, but he is/was the true suppressor of truth, a slobberer of lies ad infinitum intended for only those who wanted to listen to a slobberer of lies...infinitum.
Yu's were all told by most media that Trump was a very bad choice, and yes, it ended badly, and in fact the whole Trump episode was a feck-up!
Trying to find bamboo in ballots to prove they were made in China is just stupidity piled on racism piled on ignorance piled on stupidity piled on... I cannot even begin to document the depth of it here, but I will try:
First you have to believe the election in Arizona was stolen despite no evidence of that and the election already being audited and certified.
Then you have to believe that China did it because China would somehow prefer Biden to Trump. Trump was pretty good for China’s territorial ambitions, so that’s already a stretch.
Then you have to believe that China specifically targeted Arizona as a vulnerable swing state and put an intelligence operation in place to change votes to Biden.
Then you have to believe that China somehow manufactured fake ballots and had a network of agents ready to somehow distribute them to every polling place AND (because the electronic vote count was proven to match the ballot count) also had software installed on voting machines to EXACTLY switch votes by the same amount as the paper ballots.
Then you have to believe that Chinese agents used paper made in China rather than find some in the USA and use that
Then you have to believe that they can’t make paper in China with zero bamboo content
And you also have to link bamboo and China like the Chinese are a bunch of pandas or something.
And then you have to stand up, explain this tortured chain of logic and
Then, other people have to nod and agree that it sounds smart and they should investigate.
Phew. There probably more here but I’m spent. Just legendary Dumb and Dumber level dumbassery.
Lawyers for at least three defendants charged in connection with the violent siege tell The Associated Press that they will blame election misinformation and conspiracy theories, much of it pushed by then-President Donald Trump, for misleading their clients. The attorneys say those who spread that misinformation bear as much responsibility for the violence as do those who participated in the actual breach of the Capitol.
