I don't want to say I have a favorite part of January 6th but "the part where hundreds of people miscalculated and didn't think there would be someone in their life who knew them and disliked them enough to turn them in" is definitely my favorite part of January 6th.

That and the shaman dude's drip.

One of my favorites is the one who got turned in by a bumble match after bragging to her about entering the Capitol on Jan 6th 🤣

William Cotton, 53, Hopkinton.

I love that they are tracking down every single one of these insurrectionists and charges are sticking.

I imagine rival schools are busy looking for photos of the guy wearing that shirt at the Capitol, and thinking up witty tag lines for a fake Bryant promotional campaign they’ll slip onto the Internet overnight …

You mean these patriots? The founding fathers were insurrectionists.

That’s not how the Revolutionary War happened. There was a lot less obese diabetic boomers with cellphones and Nazi tshirts, and a lot more boring CSPAN-style debates, petitions, and speeches.

William Cotton of Hopkinson is a traitor the the USA and a disgrace to the state of Rhode Island.

It’s just disgusting to know that Mr. Cotton so rabidly wanted to overturn the election that he helped violently attack the Capital. Spreading lies of stolen elections, trying to destabilize the US, Bill Cotton might as well work directly for Putin.

What an entitled snowflake.

I'm surprised that there haven't been a few more up in Northern RI considering how they were bragging about what they did on Facebook.

I think the sheer volume of tips probably overwhelmed resources and the justice department has to go through each one, verify whether or not it's true, whether it's provable, and whether they've got enough to win a case. Gathering that much info takes time and it'd be a terrible look to have a false ID. Hell, even someone who could stand trial and has a good chance of "not guilty" is amont the worst case scenarios.

I'm not sure how long that will take, but I think there's going to be very few people who went inside the capitol that somehow escape punishment.

Idk about that, I was in the Capitol and no one's come looking for me yet.

But then again, I was in there on a guided tour in the 90's, which might have something to do with it...

WPRI reported that his defense was that he "couldn't recall" being there. It was one of the biggest events of our lifetimes, and the dude can't remember being there.

There's stupid, and then there's whatever this guy is.

The comment section is always great because you can see the sheer number of lonely boomers whose grandkids don't talk to them.

He then proceeded to put his hands over his eyes so the judge wouldn't be able to see him.

I saw the ratings for the J6 “committee” circus were pretty bad but I didn’t know that there were so many people from RI that believed that shit until I saw this board. Read up a little on the History of Rhode Island, maybe you’ll be a bit more conscious of the false narrative you’ve bought into…

You don’t believe that Trump rallied his mindless base to not let them certify the election results? It’s all on video, these people bragged about it, and are getting arrested.

ah_notgoodatthis t1_izish8s wrote

Believed what shit? The videos people posted of themselves insurrecting? What in RI’s history reveals a modern day false narrative? Just say what you mean. Plainly.

They can't say what they mean plainly because everything is an exciting circus for them, they have to speak in riddles to sound cool and in the know

Wide_Television_7074 t1_izoilpb wrote

Or is it that you are too lazy to learn the history of the state that you live in? Possibly too lazy to even read the comments you reply to? You have to work for knowledge, it’s not just given to you. The contemporary misstep may be to accommodate this warped concept of entitlement for all, but education is earned and that can’t be changed even if the scales are tipped for equality of outcome. The fundamentals don’t have “for dummies” books, I’m sorry, if you need things dumbed down you’ll have to exit the conversation. There’s nothing cryptic about routine discourse, as there’s nothing unique about the incoherent shouts of those seeking to be relevant from the periphery. Bring something of value or be gone.

But wait, let me guess your response. These are all lies by the deep state and liberal media?

Just Google "weapons at jan 6th" in an image search and you'll see loads of photos.

Have a nice day.
