"Assisting" is not the same thing as "protecting." 

If he had ordered the National Guard to assist the rioters to take the Capitol, he'd be sitting in an isolated high security cell right facing various sedition charges. The National Guard would not have accepted the orders and Trump has enough brains to know that giving such an order would mean his immediate end.

Here's a better video- you can see them drag him down the steps, crack his skull in with an American flag, then give his lifeless body the finger.

Blue lives (don't) matter, eh @Ginguy?

 

 

Wow. The fidelity is uncanny. You can so clearly see what is going on.

Anyway here's a video of them beating him to death.

 

I've checked CNN and other reliable sources and that cop has not been identified as Sicknick. I don't think it was him being beat here, Sicknick died from injuries resulting from being hit by a fire extinguisher.

Melania points out who the real victim in all of this is ... herself:

Quote

I am disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week. I find it shameful that surrounding these tragic events there has been salacious gossip, unwarranted personal attacks, and false misleading accusations on me – from people who are looking to be relevant and have an agenda. This time is solely about healing our country and its citizens. It should not be used for personal gain.

A Capitol Officer committed suicide yesterday.    Did they feel so overwhelmed with guilt that suicide seemed like the best way out.  It’s probably really inappropriate, but I wanna know the why to this

When I heard about this, those were my first thoughts too.

I felt really bad thinking that, but supposedly so many police, military and even elected officials were there, I can’t help but wonder.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses....

The terrifying part is that we don't know who is loyal to who within our military, police or even security agencies now. The security agencies are appointments and would be rather easy to clear out as far as Trumpists go. But white nationalists and other extremists have been encouraging their membership to join the military and police forces for years: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/11/military-right-wing-extremism-457861

I guess we're going to have to wait a few more days to see what happens. I am somewhat expecting a few counties to fall in line with Trump since the sovereign citizens movement is popular with many sheriffs who see themselves as the highest officials in the land: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/constitutional-sheriffs-cops-who-think-government-our-greatest-threat-n557381

I still think that most of these types are little more than keyboard warriors, but we have had private citizens training in militias and amassing arsenals for decades now, waiting for this moment. Considering my party preference is listed as "Democrat" in a heavily Republican County, I'm hoping they don't succeed in taking the courthouses. They could go through county voting registration and find who voted how.

can't people already do that, without overtaking the courthouses? i thought voter registration data was public. anyways,

the bar has been closed for 2 months so i don't have access to all the local gossip right now, but it does appear to me (anecdotally) that the volume of aggressive trump support has waned over that time. i'm not discounting the possibility of some pockets of armed stupidity next week, but i think the likelihood is decreasing overall.

This should certainly spice things up a bit

that's the story making the rounds right now anyways. i can't find a whole lot on the guy, a couple pictures that are supposedly him from before he retired. could be him, could still be someone else.

This is not the suspect in the death of Sicknick. The cop in the video being beat on the steps was not killed. This is why you can't rely on amateurs to find suspects, particularly anonymous ones online.

The guy that wacky posted was the suspect they're seeking: https://www.fox13now.com/news/national-news/photo-released-of-suspect-possibly-linked-to-death-of-capitol-officer

Also so far this morning 2 Republican congresspeople set off the metal detectors and refused to let capitol police check them.

So thats cool.

*Edit- sorry, was wrong.  That was yesterday, it was 5 of them, and one had previously brought a gun.
