Trans Lives Matter protesters occupy Oklahoma Capitol building (but when trump supporters do it then it's an insurrection)

Of course it is. Just like the twats up here who supported the "Occupy Movement" whining about the Freedom Convoy being an "occupation".
Just like the twats who thought the 2020 summer of ALT-left violence and insurrection that saw numerous people injured, killed, or had their livelihoods destroyed via looting and/or arson was "mostly peaceful protest" but think a group of unarmed people rushing the Capitol is a full-on insurrection.
Just like the twats who insist that the Marxist BLM are peaceful. Because as we all know, Marxists are like the most peaceful, non-violent people that have ever graced this planet with their presence.
So. . . it's only a crime if it succeeds?At this point, fictionIt never happened. And it was never going to happen. Seriously did you honestly think that somehow they could just demand trump was president and that was it? Even if they HAD murdered Pence, which they absolutely did not, democracy would not have been threatened in the slightest. There is no scenario where they get to take over the gov't just by storming a building.
But they did occupy a building. Like these guys.
Maybe that's how it works in Canaduh.
You're frothing again, Jin.
For the reality of the situation, you might want to read the article provided in the OP. While the RIGHT was claiming this was some sort of occupation/insurrection, a protest outside the building.
Meanwhile.
"The protesters from Oklahomans For Equality and Freedom Oklahoma started their demonstration outside the building, then moved indoors.
Organizers told DailyMail.com that all protesters entered the building peacefully, going through the necessary security checks, before staging their demonstration inside."
Security checks.
Peaceful.
Oh, and...
Protests at Oklahoma State Capitol sparking nationwide outrage

"OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Protests at the state capitol sparked nationwide outrage Tuesday night.
LGBTQ protests during the State of the State address Monday were orderly and without incident, but that's not what's being spread across social media right now."
"The group peacefully demonstrated directly outside of the House chamber, where Stitt would deliver his speech. Activists chanted “Trans Lives Matter” and “We are Oklahoma.”
Videos of the protest are being shared widely across Twitter.
Political commentators, who were not at Monday’s protest, have reshared the video and used the terms “militant” to describe the activists. One commentator said, “Trans Lives Matter stormed and occupied the Oklahoma capitol today.”
However, those characterizations are not accurate.
Demonstrators were let in by Oklahoma State Troopers and Capitol security staff. Each person walked through a metal detector.
State troopers were present on the fourth floor, blocking the entrance into the House chamber.
Through conversations with law enforcement, they looked and sounded generally unfazed by the protestors. No one seemed to be in immediate danger.
When the chanting was at its loudest, it was difficult to hear the person talking next to you. But at one point, senators walked from their chamber – through the crowd – into the House chamber, and there was no physical violence or any verbal altercations.
Capitol security staff was in contact with the leaders of the protest and on multiple occasions, the leaders were giving direction to the crowd about where they could stand (how close to the House chamber door) and even telling the group to be quiet once the State of the State began.
By the time Governor Stitt concluded, the crowd had dispersed and gone home."
Yeah, that protest and Jan 6th were TOTALLY the same!
Give me a freakin' break, Jin. Even YOU can't keep saying these two situation are the same.
And a mirror image of those who wanted the Occupy movement machine-gunned and insisted the Freedumb Convoy should be installed in Parliament.
Man, don't you watch that WH PS muppet? Get it right: it's Canadia!
We never considered pot illegal in most of BC since the early 70s. I doubt anyone got busted for possession since the early 80s, unless the cops needed something.
I think I did get a conviction for pot possession in the mid 70s. Memory's foggy of course.. it was basically a misdemeanour, paid a fine maybe. On another occasion I was stopped when walking through a commercial/industrial area between False Creek and Granville (no criminal intent - just taking a shortcut) and the cops ground my lid of weed into the ground and told me to move on. good times!
