Well, no, you are not presenting a sane point at all. Since Tucker Carlson is showing real, actual video, he is not doing the same thing as the people who say the multiple city riots were peaceful. We can actually look at the video of the capitol riot and see that nearly everyone was simply walking around taking pictures. We can actually see the capitol police escorting, waving in and opening doors for people who certainly should not have been there, but were not stopped. We heard the Biden voting former head of the capitol police telling us that the powers that be knew of potential problems but chose not to inform the capitol police, and not to ramp up security. Nor were his calls for support and instruction answered. We can actually see Ray Epps, the only human who is ever heard on a video calling for people to go into the building, yet he is one of few who has not been charged. We heard the head of the FBI refuse to answer how many FBI agents or informers were within the crowd in advance of the incursion. I am fine with your word, but you are still refusing to see the forest for the trees. When you look at video and refuse to see what is there, you are no more sane than those calling it an insurrection. When you don't see that people who are being held in jail for over two years with misdemeanor charges and still haven't been tried or granted bail are political prisoners, you are not sane. When you can't at least entertain the possibility that there were agents deliberately finding the people who could be instigated into breaking windows and pushing past police, you are not sane. I was and am furious that people could be manipulated into doing the things that were done that day. But in any large crowd there will be enough people who can be riled up that it isn't hard to make something like this happen. Now if "our side" could be smart enough to recognize what really happened rather than jumping on the same bandwagon as the ones who wanted this to happen, we might get somewhere. I am not holding my breath though.

Now we see the other side of those same tapes. We can decide for ourselves that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Either way, many of those that were arrested should be getting a trial and they're not.
