The gallery was a last line of defense between the insurrectionists & violence against legislators. No one is "cheering" the death of any American. But the intent of the J6 criminals was a rampage. *A noose was erected on the grounds.* Sharlet is wrong. These semantics are a nonsense.
FFS: I am (then, *was*) "cheering" the death of an insurrectionist. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
What struck me is that (on here, anyway) he left the caveats out.
We need a bit of moral clarity here. Law enforcement deploys violence in situations with MUCH lower stakes than an armed attack on the Congress -- and is allowed to do so.
