A key narrative about January 6 just collapsed

It is simply non functional. And the appearance of being full size is a matter of the camera angle.

I agree that it is unlikely that anyone could have been killed on that gallows.

But it was definitely full size.

■■■■■■■■■ Well, maybe if you are 3 feet tall it could be considered full size. Your camera angle is ■■■■■■■■■

That’s a simulated gallows. You couldn’t actually hang anyone on that unless they were only two feet tall.

I gave them an extra foot.

[TheDoctorIsIn]

That platform is six feet off the ground.

Definitely enough of a drop to break someone’s neck.

[RTchoke]

And the rope is how long?

You can’t logistically push anyone off that platform and have them fall 6 feet.

Good grief.

So they weren’t dangerous… they were stupid

That’s what you were going with?

[RTchoke]

You going with that mock up being dangerous and a real live working model and want to talk about who’s stupid at the same time?

Go right ahead.

Here you are making up fairy tales again.
You have no idea what would have happened. You have your fantasy of what you wish would have happened.
What happened on Jan 6th is not new and will happen again someday. Stop the pearl clutching.

So this guy

Just there for a good time?

And yes. What happened on Jan 6th a brand new thing. Not new for the World… but new for the US.

Wasn’t it found out that the reason they had zip ties is that they picked them up after the capital cops dropped them? Thought I read that somewhere anyway.

You just keep on thinking that’s the real deal.

Honestly, I think a really strong wind could take it out.

Oh it’s fake… and that’s why it’s stupid lol

to correct an election result they believed was overturned by fraud.

@TheDoctorIsIn

If a bunch of guys, dressed like that guy, broke into your house in the middle of the night and started zip-tying your family members, would you give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they just wanted to detain your family, and not harm them?

No, of course not. But the Capital Building is not anybody’s residence. Surely even you knows there is a difference.

@CanadianJudo

people trying really hard to defend people trying to overturn the elected government of the united states of America.

Sure. An unarmed insurrection. Those always work. The people in DC that day have more weapons than some small Armies. But they left them at home for what reason?

They are poor planners?

Or much more likely, had no plans to overthrow the government.

You didn’t account for tightening the noose.

Give it up. That was not a working gallows no matter how hard you try to pretend that it is.

That’s what you were going with?

Far closer to the truth than the tall tale that they were there to overthrow the government and hang some of the leaders of the vanquished government.

Have you never seen some of the signs carried by leftist protesters?

No. What’s stupid is pretending to believe it was real.

So building a gallows on US Capitol grounds and shooting “Hang Mike Pence” is a good look?
