No, this isn't about when a bunch of vikings tried to kill congress members with guns.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/19/politics ... index.html
This is a bombing attempt, complete with bomb-making materials. They arrested the guy who did it, alive. Guess which of the two major parties it came from. Guess who this person supported. Guess which party will still try to spin this as nothing to worry about and act like the other party is just as bad. Guess what race he was, and whether that played a factor in him being brought in alive instead of going home in a bucket. Guess which people are going to try to make this a "both sides" problem and pretend the party who didn't make the bomb threat would be defending the action if one of them had done it.
Guessing games are fun, aren't they?

Not especially. I don't care for this rhetorical style regardless of the conclusion.

Adding a tally for "spin this as nothing to worry about".
Though clearly your entire argument fails because you didn't mention claiming that it is a false flag which is how I know this story.
Thank you for the guessing game.

Re: Bomb Threat on Capitol
Apparently, this person was making a bomb threat without the benefit of having explosives. Making this likely a disturbed person looking for attention rather than someone out to do actual harm.

They had bomb-making materials, but I appreciate your attempt to humanize aspiring terrorist. Tally two.

Sorry. I'm just really tired and fed-up with this old song and dance.

Re: Bomb Threat on Capitol
If he did not have any explosives, then he did not have a bomb, whatever else he had in his possession. That makes him more a fraud or a pathetic specimen than a terrorist.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 5:53 pm They had bomb-making materials, but I appreciate your attempt to humanize aspiring terrorist.

You are trying to make much of what is very little, while ignoring the plank in your own eye.

Re: Bomb Threat on Capitol
I might be mixing up laws but bomb or not if he still tried to make the threats that can fall under terrorist threats.
