Yes, what I said - it's on video, and played at my trial, your CNN gods play 2-3 short clips of the same thing on repeat, and you believe it' was a 6-hour skirmish.
20,000 hours of video 5, maybe 10 minutes, of actual physical contact , vs 1,200,000 minutes, dang you got me there. WOW !
And Yes, WE WON, and there will be 4 more years of WINNING. Unless you succeed in your 4th assignation attempt. But I understand you are mostly peaceful.
First off, glad this is over for you. I have no sympathy for those who were violent, but many who were there got a raw deal, and there was a big effort to make Jan 6 to be a lot more than it really was in order to push a narrative, for reasons I don't fully see.
This is one thing most people don't understand. Of the 20,000 hours of video, how much has 'the public' seen? All together I would say I saw less than a half hour's worth of footage, most of the time it was the same clips regurgitated and re-edited and shown over and over again. Who was in charge of the clips that were released to the media? Was it anyone who might have been wanting to push a narrative?
Remember the buffalo hat guy? Maybe a nut case, maybe not, but either way, he was used as the poster child of evil, portrayed as someone running amok in the Capitol building causing wonton havoc and destruction.
HOWEVER, after the fact, and after he was in prison more video was made available to the public, and there was video of him walking around quite peacefully, with Capitol Police right next to him, both acting cordially to each other, with no effort shown to get him to leave, or restrain him, even when he was outnumbered 5-1. This jives with the many reports I have heard of people walking in through open doors, and the guards/police inside talking cordially to them, not telling them to leave or warning them that they are trespassing, and more or less leaving when they were told it was time to go. Yes, there were idiots and criminals in the midst, but they went to great lengths to arrest not just them, but anyone they could, and went after them with great ferocity. One thing many do not understand is that when you are charged by the Feds, it is going to cost you about $1 million on up just to defend yourself. Can't come up with the money, what do you do? Work out a plea. What about gofundme type things, or lawyers working pro bono? Fine for a couple people, but doesn't work when thousands are charged.
Also, the way the Feds were letting people off the hook for their role in 'The summer of love' and going after the Jan 6 people screams political prosecution (although I have heard some say it was OK to go after the Jan 6 people harder because that protest had more 'whiteness' and the Floyd protests were more 'diverse').
Example, after the summer of love riots in Minneapolis/St Paul, a grand total of 23 people have had Federal charges brought against them by the DOJ, according to CBS News. That is not how many people were jailed or even convicted, but charged. When you hear about the 'thousands' that have been charged with crimes, it was by local/city/county/State courts, not the DOJ. If you count the total number of people Federally charged in all the riots across the entire country that summer, the number is under 400 (headlines say 'more than 300' and it is hard to find an exact number).
Compare how many people died, how much Federal property was destroyed, and how many people crossed State lines in those riots to Jan 6, and it seems disproportional to me. Again, not trying to claim Jan 6 people were innocent, just that they were treated much differently.

WCCO reached out to the Department of Justice for information on those arrested and federally charged in the wake of the destruction. The department said 23 people have been charged.
