Bomb Threat on Capitol

[McAvoy]

I'm not sure if I find the False Flag narrative more or less disturbing than the "it's high spirits, nothing to worry about, he was just having a bad day" narrative.

No the false flags on school shootings is disturbing to me. Much more so. A conspiracy on that level is just not realistic. Like Sandy Hook. You basically have to buy off families and the child to basically go in hiding so the evil Democrats can create a fake shooting where your child is 'killed'. But not only that but buy off the entire school and the students who 'lived' to say all of that. And buying off the local police, hospitals, firefighters, funeral homes, nearby witnesses etc. We are talking about thousands by this point. All of which have yet to spill the beans. And this would have been incredibly expensive. Like it would probably cost close to a billion dollars. No one is going to keep their mouth shut for $1,000 for example.

Just dumbass bullshit reasoning you would expect from people born without a brain.

Yeah, I notice that any time an Anti-Fascist counter-protester punches a Nazi there's right wingers crawling out of the woodwork to complain "What about the radical LEFT?" but an attempted bombing of the seat of federal power is laughed off. The way this is getting downplayed you'd think it was a school shooting or something. =/

For the record, if some Democrat tried to blow up a federal building, or heck even city hall, I'd be freaked out and see it as an attack on democracy. But a democrat didn't do that, because one party tries to attack federal buildings when they don't get there way, while the other one tries to downplay terrorism as high spirits and people having a bad day. Like I said, if this wasn't somebody who belonged to the right check boxes, he'd be stray cat food by now.

Anti-Fa/BLM rioter were attcking federal buildings last year, attempting to burn them down. The mayor of Portland had to move because they attempted to burn his apartment building down, which had other tenents in it. Did you freak out about that? A Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate a baseball teams worth of GOP Senators and Representatives a few years ago. Were you pearl clutching about that attack on democracy? Somehow, these acts of political violence do not even register as even had happened.

This was not an attempted bombing as there was NO BOMB. Which is likely why the guy was not taken down violently. It was not even an incompetent attempt to build a bomb. It was a hoax threat, by the perpetrator. It was not what you want it to be, so your disappointment at being unable to make politcal hay over this is palpable.

I'm sorry, I gotta side with clearspira here. The difference is THERE WAS NO BOMB. One lone nutjob made a stupid threat, and he got caught and will pay for it, before any materials could ever be whipped up that may end life. Listen, you could build a bomb out of stuff in your house if you knew how. It's all about how you assemble it. You're never going to have a completely risk-free life. That's just the sad law of the world. The same way if you head online, you gotta expect you're gonna run into idiots and get the occasional threat in a blue moon. It's not right, no one ever claims it is, but it is part of being in the WORLD. Seems this situation was summarily dealt with, yet people here are using it to try to discredit somebody who isn't even American? Come on.
