The Missing J6 Footage

I'll begin this post with a universal truth.  Under no circumstances is it ever legal or morally right to storm / enter the United States Capitol by force, short of Red Dawn happening.

The right wing was so proud of themselves on January 6th, 2021.  They'd shown the world they weren't going to stand for an election being stolen from their idol, Donald Trump.  Thousands of photos were posted to social media by those who stormed the Capitol by those who declared themselves to be patriots.  Then, they realized maybe not that they'd done something wrong, but that the majority of the country despised them for their actions.  The social media posts came down and the participants couldn't account for themselves on J6.  I don't for a moment think any were shameful about what they'd done; they just didn't want to go to jail.  

Under no circumstances is it ever legal or morally right to storm / enter the United States Capitol by force, short of Red Dawn happening.

Once they regrouped, the search began for mitigating factors.  In other words, they were looking for scapegoats to blame for their actions.  First, there was Ray Epps.  Why they chose him, I have no idea.  But he supposedly ushered the insurrectionists inside and was an FBI plant.  There were dozens of undercover FBI agents leading the charge, they said.  We weren't there; it was Antifa, they claimed.   That's my favorite one.  Clamoring all over these scapegoats is an implicit admission by the right wing looneys they don't think for themselves.  

Unfortunately for the insurrectionists, none of these lame diversions have stuck, so they're down to their last excuse, which is the tens of thousands of hours of security footage from that day.  They claim there's a reason that footage has been kept under wraps and that reason will absolve them of their blame.  

Under no circumstances is it ever legal or morally right to storm / enter the United States Capitol by force.  

There are two logical explanations why the footage hasn't been released.  First, beyond the hours of the siege, there's a whole lot of nothingness on the video.  Only an idiot would fight for the release of 10 hours of footage of the door to the ladies room that no one uses.  The second, and most important reason, is that there are most certainly cameras that show the routes to the safe rooms used by the members that day.  In other words, it would provide valuable information for their next try.    

The bottom line is this:  Unless there were signs posted at an entrance saying "Welcome Rioters", along with a tray of cookies, no valid excuse will ever exist for storming the United States Capitol.  

It doesn't matter if Jesus himself was in the building, spurring people on; it's still illegal.

Finally, it's dangerously close to treason in anyone's book to take over a chamber of Congress, smear shit on the walls, erect a noose and scream to hang the Vice President, or perform a B&E into Nancy Pelosi's office and trash it.  Any reasonable person knows doing so is flat out wrong and illegal.  

While we're on Pelosi, if you think she orchestrated it, congratulations, you're a fucking moron.  Trump held the rally, the speakers got the monkeys fired up, then Trump told everyone to converge on the Capitol.  Now, tell me again how Pelosi's to blame.  

Right wingers stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow a free and fair election.  But it seems the party of personal accountability has become that of whining and blaming others for their horrible actions.
