I don’t know. I’ve seen video of the fights, but I’m not the type of guy who sat down with a box of tissues and lotion to watch the trials.
Not trying to accuse anyone here of anything, but I haven't noticed anyone actually accused of violence.  It sort of makes me wonder who the specific people were that were involved in the "violence". 

Also, today I am hearing that capitol police start shooting non-lethal weapons into the crowd before stuff kicking off.

06JAN committee deposition videos used as evidence in the hearings are gone. The committee chair said he didn't feel they needed to preserve them.

If that is 100% true and not another extreme stretch of the truth conspiracy story, then all cases started by the Jan 6 committee needs to be dropped and the committee investigated. Prosecution of any member destroying evidence.

If it is false then the good doctor needs to STFU.

“We found out about this early in the investigation when I received a call from someone who was looking for some information off one of the videotapes, and we started searching, and we had none,” Loudermilk indicated. “I wrote a letter to Bennie Thompson asking for them. And he confirmed that they did not preserve those types. He didn’t feel that they had to.”

“But according to House rules, you have to preserve any data and information and documents that are used in an official proceeding, which they did. They actually aired portions of these tapes on their televised hearings, which means they had to keep those. But yet he chose not to,” Loudermilk added. “I believe they exist somewhere. We’ve just got to find where all these videos are.”

BLM arsonists given $500 fine. Sounds fair, man.

Note lower on the page, somebody else got 15 years for burning an LGBDFGHZ flag.

How about this one?
They figure 2 1/2 years on home incarceration (already served) is punishment enough for murdering someone

The Babylon Bee but not satire

Says ANTIFA people he recognized was in the MAGA crowd urging the crowd on to do something

Quote
The Babylon Bee sits down with Siaka Massaquoi to talk about how the FBI recently separated him from his pregnant wife at the airport and arrested him over charges related to January 6th. What really happened on January 6th and what was Siaka doing at the Capitol Building?

Dude was bragging about sending protestors and trespassers away for a combined 840 years. Also this is apparently now by far the largest FBI effort in the history of the FBI. If true, that would mean they dedicated more resources to this than to 9/11. That's disgusting.

9/11 - some people did something.

Speaking of J6

Quote
The family of a 35-year-old California woman who was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer during the Jan. 6 insurrection has filed a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government.

Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed Jan. 6, 2021, while she tried to climb through a broken door into the Speaker's Lobby outside the House Chamber, as a mob of dozens of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol while lawmakers were preparing to certify the results of the 2020 election. The shooting was captured on cell phone video. Babbitt later died at a hospital.

There's a bunch of other news articles but if you're have blood pressure issues stay out of the comments because the TDS reading is off the scale in many.

Actually it reminds me somewhat of the old Gecko45 Mall Ninja postings

MSNBC "news":

Also:

The segment came just one day after the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that defendants illicitly present in the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot can be convicted even if they were passively observing the events inside.

Also, from that court ruling:

Quote
"First, it is well-established that whether conduct qualifies as disorderly depends on the surrounding circumstances," the court wrote. "Courts consistently observe that ‘whether a given act provokes a breach of the peace depends upon the accompanying circumstances,’ making it ‘essential that the setting be considered.’"

"Second, it is equally clear from caselaw that even passive, quiet and nonviolent conduct can be disorderly," the ruling continued.

That's pretty Great Britian-ey, where you can stand in front of an abortion clinic and scream obscenities and use "violent language" as long as it's pro-abortion. If you stand in the same spot and pray in your head  for the children aborted there, you are committing a crime.

I am often quite pleased that with twitter's current interface, non-twitter people are unable to see comments or anything else below the linked post.
