NYT: FBI Has Singled Out Potential Suspect In Death Of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick
Leader of proud boys is hispanic. Go figure.
@Sylvain Robichaud Look up the Truman Doctrine. That should help you understand why we, the USA were and still are involved in everything that happens throughout the Americas. You don’t become the most powerful nation on this planet by being nice. You have to control the narrative. That is what we do. That is why we are the most powerful country on this planet both militarily and economically.
@American Paisa Returns so you admit that the US is a rapacious evil empire no better than the Russians or British were. Like all empires it is destined to fall and it won’t be pretty cause karma’s a b!+€h. Just looking at the news we can see it already happening with all those imbecile MAGAs and moronic QAnuses.
@Sylvain Robichaud I Admit that I live a happy life and I could careless about how that effects you or any other stranger on this planet. I love my country and we do what we have to do to stay on top. We control the narrative. Every other nation on this planet wants to do the same. They want to take that away from us. They want to be number one. That’s the goal. We will not let that happen.
@American Paisa Returns I and my compatriots live perhaps a happier life than the majority of Americans. So says most life indexes but again that is not a competition. We are all human beings no matter who we are or where we come from. I was lucky to be born where I live just as you were. You should look into the spiritual aspect of yourself. Perhaps you are just a pup or your soul is a very young one. I do not hate Americans or really anyone. I just hate to see Americans waste what was their good standing in the world for a bunch of psychopathic oligarchs. Anyways, be good and don’t do unto others what you would not want to be done unto you. Hope you and your family stays healthy and safe.
@Sylvain Robichaud Thanks. I wish you the best. Live long and prosper. Peace!
The Capital isn’t secure at all.
No kidding, i’m surprised there wasn’t Russian and Chinese tour Buses coming through when trump was in charge.
I hope they are taking their time to get this right and indict the big wigs that tried to hide their involvement. One of the leaders in that white supremacist group said he was in contact with senators and we have a pic of one at the white house the day before on a “private tour” but he says he was invited on his facebook page.
Biden is really very good at giving white people a pass. I wonder what he will d? This will be very interesting. not really on topic but look at these two videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SykyXC92SW0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i1fekgBW6Q&t=4s
social animals need to be caged and taught what was real freedom like.
Boomer Fun I am going to see this video again, it is something else.not really on topic but look at these two videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SykyXC92SW0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i1fekgBW6Q&t=4s
The Proud Boys brains has been shrunken with their heads to follow Ereek K.
Ttis that
https://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
oh yes
Shrunk to match the smallness of their package, no doubt. They always seem to be compensating for something small, anyway.
@SkyGemini true always insecure.
Prosecute the Congress people who aided the rioters. Murder charges would be the most appropriate.
@Dan Thehomelessman
You are wrong.
You are VERY wrong. Blunt force trauma is not a heart attack.
Take the blinders off while you still can or show the proof.
BTW having posts removed cause “you” don’t get the answers you want doesn’t change the truth either.🤔
@Vicki Daniels what blunt force trauma? Who was bludgeoned to death? You know the story of the cop being beaten with a fire extinguisher was a complete lie right?
@Dan Thehomelessman Bull.
Kind of hard when it was caught on video!
@Vicki Daniels his own mother has debunked that. You need to get informed better. No I will not do your homework you would not believe me anyway. He had a stroke.
@Dan Thehomelessman
Just out;
WTOP: FBI identifies suspect in death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, sources say.
https://wtop.com/government/2021/02/fbi-identifies-suspect-in-death-of-capitol-police-officer-brian-sicknick-sources-say/
By law It’s still considered M-U-R-D-E-R if it’s during a commission of a C-R-I-M-E which this and all the injuries from the insurrectionist were!
Nice try though within your fantasy land. Have a nice day.
why didnt they empty their clips into those criminals
I was screaming that very thing at the TV on the sixth. I was mad only one even got shot let alone died.
Everyone that was at the Capitol should be charged with 5 counts of murder.
@Chris Coles
No, why…
@Joe Schlotthauer Easy to say now but I believe it would…..
@Joe Schlotthauer The Republican senators were in contact with Trumps defence team. You know he’s guilty
@Joe Schlotthauer No there wasn’t and that’s why the NYT retracted their story about the officer dying the injuries he received from those storming the Capitol.
@Joe Schlotthauer The circumstances surrounding Sicknick’s death remain unclear and a final cause of death has not yet been determined. So no autopsy report. So who did you hear he had a stroke from, because it wasn’t an autopsy report.
Death penalty for domestic terrorists.
Knock it off. There are no circumstances when the United States should be using the death penalty.
Lol, “Enrique the snitch.” We know what happens to snitches.
And terror-ricks too!
They get protection, unless your snitching on cops.
Then your on your own like Dr. King was.
All present at the Capitol riot need to be prosecuted. Proud Boys snitch will roll over on his own people. Trump invites the best people.
“Enrique tario, whos a known snitch” lmao literally leader of the proud boys is a snitch
Yeah, from way back. And not just a snitch but a “prolific” snitch.
Of course they have an inside man
Ironic isn’t it….🤔😉
He very good at telling
SnitchBoy is worse than Snitch9ine🤣🤣🤣
Felony murder doctrine would not require proof of intent and could be applied to every person involved in the attack.
does anybody know how come they don’t use the felony murder act which is if you’re participating in a felony and someone dies everyone’s charged with the murder
Thumbs down always seem confusing, are they toward the person responsible for the death or because they are mad he got caught?
I see a few thousand of the traitors responsible for that officer’s death, along with an orange one and the losers who took that stage.
“The tragic results” were injuries and death to Capitol police officers. Specific intent should not be the linchpin pin in this case. The hostile acts of the perpetrators caused the death. Enough said.
These conspiring congress critters should be given a tour of the Hotel Leavenworth.
Auschwitz
Yes, who were those people who broke into the Capitol building wearing *Trump* shirts and *Trump* hats and waving *Trump* flags? It’s such a mystery…
They should all be charged with the death of Officer Sicknick.
That would only be the law with black citizens trying a coup!
You would think. Other cases if you rob a house with other people and someone dies, everyone is charged regardless of intent.
