Something had to cause people to want to start a rebellion. I think that the events in Minneapolis and Portland both had an impact on the January 6th event. These extreme right wing people, IMO, were fed up. I guess they felt storming the Capitol was how they would get their point across. We both know it was a bad move. Those going to prison now probably think the same thing.

What rebellion? Gangs are not a rebellion.. the only thing you can say they're remotely rebelling/protesting against is their rival gang. This has nothing to do with the Jan 6th Capital riots. Where in the world are you getting these protest/riot claims from? They have nothing to do with this specific situation. Gang violence has always been a problem, for several decades. Gang member starts shooting at other gang members, innocent people sadly get caught in the crossfire or accidentally hit. It's not new, certainly been around longer than the riots you're talking about.

Are you referring to drug gangs ? Or gangs that vandalized Portland ? Or just referring to January 6 people as a gang ?

>Are you referring to drug gangs ?

Yes, the ones named in the article specifically are called the Norteño and the Sureños

>Or gangs that vandalized Portland ?

No. This article doesnt have anything to do with Portland. You were the one that brought that up.

>Or just referring to January 6 people as a gang ?

This article has nothing to do with Jan 6. Again, you were the one that brought that up. QAnon types are more cult-ish rather than a gang anyway, so I personally wouldnt refer to them as a gang. They're more like a dangerous cult.

So are you as passionate about about the gangs in big cities like Chicago that kill kids? Or just the one that stormed the Capitol. They didnt kill any kids.
