I’m going to reserve some judgment because I don’t know what preceded this alleged assault. Everyone deserves the presumption of innocence. (I thought you all thought all cops were bastards, right?)

If guilty, she shows very poor judgment. But I don’t support prosecuting in the court of public opinion.

Not everyone in the building broke in. Some were let in. Every American deserves the benefit of the doubt. Totally understand charging her, which is the right call. But I’m not jumping on a bandwagon of hate without context.

Let in by a)Cops who were getting sprayed in the face by chemical irritants and beaten with brass knuckles, or b)Individuals illegally inside a building.

No, by c. There is clear video of groups of people peaceably let in by law enforcement.

The context is in the pictures: this domestic terrorists was part of an attempted coup, and broke several laws by even being present.

That’s a lot of buzzwords to say “presumed guilty”.

When there’s video evidence, along with other evidence?

No, you’re just a domestic terrorist sympathizer.

I’m reserving judgment until I know the full extent of her guilt or innocence. That’s the right of every American. But if we’re talking “terrorist sympathizers”, how do you feel about Antifa or all the BLM riots and looting?

There's literally zero reason to reserve judgment in this case. Read my reply to another person on this thread, she is a textbook domestic terrorist (along with everyone else present at the Capitol at that time).

People like you need to stop downplaying the severity of what happened and what it means for our democracy.

I’m not downplaying. She allegedly assaulted a cop and I take that seriously. But as a matter of law and rights she has the presumption of innocence until this is proven, and I need proof it was willful, and not retaliatory for something police instigated, for example. There’s good circumstantial evidence this is unlikely, but it still fella gross and unAmerican to me to drag her through the dirt online and cheer her losing her job and “other” her before her case is heard. However, I do support her arrest because it seems to have merit.

Abd I am fairly consistent in this philosophy regardless of the accused. Amber Heard is an abusive piece if crap, but I don’t support removing her from Aquaman as retribution, for example.

And “domestic terrorist” is a very serious accusation, One which I refuse to use lightly. As yet I haven’t seen evidence of terrorism. No, being present at the Capitol is not enough.,

Yes, it was given the context. She was there unlawfully, everyone there was told it was unlawful, everyone was told to leave and didn't. Stop downplaying and defending domestic terrorists.

Done responding to you, you're obviously commenting in bad faith.

So trespassing is terrorism?

When will we see prosecution of the punks setting off explosives and blinding police night after night at the federal building in Portland? THAT was domestic terrorism.
