  or collusion
context: They believe that since the election was stolen, that it’s their constitutional right to over take the government and during this coup no U.S. laws apply.
  
  Weird, and also terrifying. I don't recall the amendment where believing something without any supporting evidence supersedes the constitution and us law. But, they also didn't believe highly educated and widely respected doctors about covid either, and that worked out about the same for Republican supporters.
  You know who isn't being investigated and going to jail for storming the capitol, or dying significantly more often from covid?
  Republicans ignore evidence and fact when there's mountains of it and get whipped up into a frenzy when there is none. >
  
  According to the article you posted, 21% of the adult population is unvaccinated, and 42% of adult Covid deaths are of unvaccinated people, am I reading that right? >
  
  According to the Jan6 Final Report, the FBI, local law enforcement and Homeland Security knew about the threats. What they did not have intelligence on or took seriously was Trump calling on his mob himself to attack the proceedings and the fake electors ploy Trump planned. Then he tweeted at 2:46 against Pence, which further riled the insurrectionists. However, the military was wary of sending in the National Guard, because they were afraid Trump would issue an illegal order.
  Just a big treasonous mess. >
  
  Reddit had articles that announced the plans in what... Nov. the beginning of Dec? They made the statements, I believed them. >
  
  this.  anyone who was on this subreddit between the election and 1/6 knew what was going to happen. >
  
  I woke up that morning and immediately tuned into the speeches, knowing that something bad was about to happen. I imagine plenty of other people woke up that morning KNOWING something was coming. >
  
  Anyone who was paying attention knew it was going to happen weeks in advance. >
  
  It was literally all over Twitter. >
  
  No shit....it's almost like the leadership of the capitol law enforcement was more concerned with political appeasement than protecting the rank and file. >
  
  Clue # 1: The intent of organizing a stop the steal rally on the same day that the congress was scheduled to certify the electoral college votes. 
  Clue #2: it was organized steps away from the Capitol.
  Fuck, there are more cops stationed during a BLM March than were scheduled here. >
  
  Because those who were grieved were white, if they had been black the police force would have been tripled, and if the black protestors took one step into congress it would have been a blood bath. >
  
  I remember a couple of days before, one of the Proud Boys was arrested in DC. It was discussed on this sub as well as others. Comments in those discussions (again, two days prior) mentioned the discussions happening on Parler and other places, and that people should avoid that whole area because they were expecting it to become violent. 
  So yes, there were warning signs.
  It wasn't subtle, either. It was all right there in the open. >
  
  It's only a "warning" if those with the means and duty to protect actually do so.
  Otherwise, it's known as coordination.
