[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am truly afraid that utter chaos will ensure with the election this year. As a DC resident, what are politicians doing to keep us safe? Have they thought about calling out the national guard? I noticed the uptick in non-DC residents on the dating apps during the insurrection. Is there a way to predict it with the increase is cell phone usage on the towers? I prefer to be safe, rather than sorry. DC cannot afford another insurrection, in November, or January.[/quote] Is this a troll post? Besides the one [i]protester[/i] or, as so many on this site prefer to say [i]insurrectionist[/i] who was shot by an officer via questionable circumstances— there was no violence that lead to death. “Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer.[c][28][38] Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months” Unless they left a note blaming Jan sixth it’s pretty awful to just assume the police self-harm was due to that. Why would anyone include “natural causes”?… by the very definition they’re… natural and not due to Jan sixth.. And a drug overdose? Really? No clue why you’d be afraid of of D.C. in November or January. Unless you’re a police officer who just doean’t want to deal with any protests. Regardless of which candidate is being protested against. This iz the kind of stuff that makes me, as a LGBTQ economically progressive millennial REALLY question the mainstream media, democrats, my peers, mainstream republicans, etc.. What other protest anywhere… ever.. counted natural deaths, drug overdoses, suicides MONTHS LATER, in any sort of offical count that supposedly proves how “serious” a protest was?… Honestly. Like I said, I naturally lean more towards progressive economics and am a gay male so Igenerally frown upon anti-lgbtq conservatives… but this kind of “technically honest but intellectually dishonest and obviously only investigated because of the agenda”… makes anyone willing to research facts regardless of if they’re favorable or not… roll their eyes at this irrational fear of whatever happens next November or next January. Is it possible to have a serious conversation about issues (of which riots/protests of this scale regardless the topic ARE issues) without blatant gaslighting, manipulation of facts, or ad-hoc sttacks? Come one![/quote]
