Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Amendment 14, Section 3

I am about to blow some big holes in the idiotic rant of the OP. Buckle up Boys:

1) Nobody, including Trump, has been charged with insurrection. Not one. That means nobody, including Trump, will face trial for insurrection which in turn means that nobody, including Trump, can be found guilty of insurrection. Since nobody, including Trump, can be found guilty of insurrection by a jury of his peers then nobody, including Trump, can be prevented from running for office due to insurrection.

2) Insurrection is, by U.S. statute, a 2 part offense and it must begin by an act of rebellion. Per U.S. statute, rebellions must include the use of arms. Not one of the protesters was armed in any way. The only bullets fired that day were by the Capital Hill police and the only person shot was an unarmed woman. Since there was no ARMED REBELLION, there can be no, per U.S. statute, insurrection.

3) Trump has been accused of "inciting" the violent protest but the actual words of Trump, which were not included in the grand jury evidence, show him (on video and per transcript) calling for peaceful protest in accordance with the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. At no time did he call for violence or illegal actions on the part of anybody.

4) There were numerous reports that the FBI and other govt agencies were informed that there were agitators from outside DC coming to cause mayhem. The FBI even arrested several such cells in NYC prior to Jan 6. Because of these reports Trump offered the Natl Guard to Washington DC and the Capital Hill police to help keep order. The mayor of DC and the Capital Hill police (who report to the speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi) turned him down. Additionally, extra forces for the Washington DC police dept and the Capital Hill police were not prepared to be mobilized on short notice, despite the warning of trouble. This is a leadership failure of both law enforcement entities and is not the fault of Trump who offered forces to be at their call if needed and they ended up being needed. The offer of troops renders the accusation of insurrection invalid because the troops were offered to strengthen the govt and not weaken it. Insurrections by their very definition are done to weaken, or negate, a govt's hold on power.

5) There are numerous videos of the Capital Hill police opening the doors to the capital building and allowing people in. The doors of the capital are magnetically sealed and can only be opened from the inside. While there was some breaking into the building via windows (remember the outside agitators) many of the people that ended up being arrested were allowed into the building, and even escorted around by uniformed officers of the Capital Hill police. This is all on video. Additionally there was a news crew (headed by Nancy Pelosi's niece) that just happened to be in the building when it was "breached" through doors held open by the Capital Hill police, who report to Nancy Pelosi. Convenient right?

6) In order for there to be a rebellion and an insurrection it had to be done with the intention of overthrowing the sitting govt. Trump was president on Jan 6 and he was president on Jan 7. Was he trying to overthrow himself? All the members of congress that held office on Jan 6 also held office on Jan 7. There was NO attempt to overthrow the govt. The only day that could have happened was on Jan 20 when the office of POTUS was to be turned over and it was turned over in full accordance with U.S. Law. Since Trump did not attempt to stop the lawful transfer of power, on Jan 20, 2021, legally there was no insurrection.

7) Lastly, the OP is an IDIOT!
