But they\u2019ve disappeared down the memoryhole because the mob was Democratic. So, therefore, they were the Good Guys, not the Bad Guys. It\u2019s hard to remember facts that contradict The Narrative.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the childish LARPers who got into the US Capitol today will of course go down in Narrative infamy, like the Charlottesville LARPers. They were the designated Bad Guys already, so their bad behavior plugs seamlessly into the prefab Narrative.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not fair, but that\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, do Democrats now favor the use of facial recognition software for prosecuting the trespassers?<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have objected to facial recognition\u2019s use in prosecuting tens of thousands of BLM looters videotaped doing Undocumented Shopping during the George Floyd mourning process. But perhaps they will now have a change of mind over facial recognition\u2019s utility.<\/p>\n<p>Another question: How much rioting would there have been in D.C. if Trump had won?<\/p>\n<p>We can tell who was the main threat by the behavior of D.C. business owners who boarded up their windows during Election Week until Joe Biden was announced the winner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From 10-6-18: &#8220;Protesters opposed to Brett Kavanaugh&#8217;s appointment to the US Supreme Court swarmed over Washington &#8212; massing at the Capitol, disrupting the confirmation vote in the Senate and banging on the Supreme Court building doors when Kavanaugh arrived to be sworn in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IRnmnxVtDqg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Comments at Steve Sailer:<\/p>\n<p>* A few hundred losers playing at being revolutionaries going up against losers playing at being cops and then chasing away a few hundred losers playing at being congressmen, all over a loser playing at being president.<\/p>\n<p>* This reminds me of that Jimmy Stewart movie, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington. But this is more heartwarming\u2026<\/p>\n<p>* The NYT coverage today went out of its way to call the protesters violent. To some degree they were, but the difference from how BLM and antifa are covered was glaring.<\/p>\n<p>The only solace i take from today\u2019s ridiculous events is that, by and large, the protesters WERE \u201cmostly peaceful\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s bad that they stole stuff and broke some stuff, but at least they didn\u2019t shoot or hurt anyone or set things on fire.<\/p>\n<p>But between the Georgia loss and today\u2019s incitement and the ammo that it hands the left for years to come\u2026 Trump is REALLY saddling his supporters with a lot of baggage on his way out.<\/p>\n<p>* Capitol cops don\u2019t really do much in the way of actual policing, so they aren\u2019t stress tested. Anything off the Capitol zone is DC\u2019s problem, the White House is Secret Service\u2019s responsibility, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I predict this woman\u2019s death will not be the spark for rioting; no chain big-box stores will be looted; no bridges across the Potomac will be blocked with barricades; no graffiti will be spray painted onto Federal buildings \/ monuments; no statues will be tipped over; no churches will be burned, etc. and etc.<\/p>\n<p>The cop who shot her will not be doxxed, no mob will be sent to his \/ her home to terrorize the family. There will not be an arrest, nor will there be demands for one.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the MAGA\u2019s will not act like BLM \/ Antifa, last year\u2019s pampered pets of the progtards.<\/p>\n<p>For this self control, we shall all be punished.<\/p>\n<p>* All the news headlines are reporting something like \u201cArmed Rioting, woman, shot and killed\u201d, making it sound like the rioters shot and killed a woman. You have to read the fine print before you find out it was the cops shooting an un-armed White woman.<br \/>\nIf it had been a Black woman shot and killed by cops in a left-wing protest, the headlines would be screaming, \u201cRacist White Cops murder Un-armed Black Woman!\u201d, the whole country would be up-in flames. <\/p>\n<p>* The Guardian has the word \u201cmob\u201d in no fewer than 5 headlines in the UK edition. Surely they\u2019re \u201cprotesters\u201d?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mob2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mob2-300x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"128\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-136324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mob2-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mob2-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mob2-768x327.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mob2.jpg 1195w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2020\/may\/31\/trump-flees-to-bunker-as-protests-over-george-floyd-rage-outside-white-house\">Guardian:<\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;The incident provoked a stream of derisive comments on social media, comparing Trump unfavourably both to the presumptive Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, who visited protesters and to the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. The hashtag \u201c#bunkerboy\u201d became a trending term on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Sargent, who writes the Plum Line blog for the Washington Post, wrote: \u201cPresident of the United States cowering in fear of delivering a national address while instead issuing deranged tweets from his underground bunker somehow persuades himself that the world is laughing at someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The activist and author Amy Siskind was equally scathing. \u201cTrump hiding out in a bunker Friday, and shutting off the lights at the White House Sunday \u2013 both over a few hundred protesters \u2013 will be forever remembered as defining moments of his presidency when he was revealed as a coward, not the strongman he advertised.\u201d&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* I keep hearing on the TV that violence doesn\u2019t work. What? The hell it doesn\u2019t. BLM spent the Summer burning and looting every major city in America. They were rewarded with hundreds of millions of dollars and more power than any political party in the US. Their adherents caused billions in damage and helped themselves to tens of millions worth of DIY reparations and no one lifted a finger to stop them. Whatever else, violence works an absolute treat.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and you senators and congressmen, cowboy up a little bit. You were afraid? There was a loud and angry crowd outside and you thought they were going to hurt you? That\u2019s how a store owner in Kenosha felt. That\u2019s how the McCloskys felt. Remember that emotion next time you feel obligated to barge in front of a TV camera to excuse rioting and looting. Next time you feel obligated to tell us you\u2019re proud of Jacob Blake. Next time you get on Twitter and exhort your followers to donate to a fund to pay bail for rioters. You created this monster. You nurtured it, sheltered it, and allowed it to grow. And now it\u2019s come home to eat you. Good luck and go fuck yourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friend: &#8220;Yesterday was a metaphor for Trump&#8217;s candidacy and presidency: said some stuff to stir up people, people act\/vote based on his rhetoric, he&#8217;s completely unprepared, has no one wiling to ruin career for someone who inspired zero loyalty.
