    Much-hyped 'Justice for J6' Capitol rally to support Jan. 6 prisoners a dud.
    Washington Examiner (Moderate Right) • Factual Grade 78% • 4 min read

    The media and law enforcement vastly outnumbered a few hundred rallygoers at an event outside the Capitol on Saturday to support those arrested on suspicion of participating in nonviolent crimes connected to the Jan. 6 riot. [Event organizer Matt Braynard] went to lengths to counter claims that the event was pro-rioter, with instructions begging attendees to be respectful to law enforcement.
    ...
    Unscalable fencing was set up again in anticipation of the rally. Around three dozen snowplow trucks [blocked road access]. Two squads of Capitol Police officers in riot gear walked up to the rally during the program to stand guard at the barrier behind the stage blocking access to the Capitol. A police helicopter flew overhead.
    ...
    Officials have arrested more than 500 people in connection to the Jan. 6 siege, hundreds of whom now face criminal charges. The conditions for those taken prisoner have been called into question. Many have been held in solitary confinement, [which] has drawn bipartisan criticism.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - I would be affected by this tax rate increase, and I support it because I believe a regressive system inevitably leads to growing distrust and animosity between the wealthy and the not-wealthy, which is bad for everyone involved. The “American dream” means that anyone can be successful if they work hard, but no one is successful alone.


No - I am not "rich", but that's also in part because the definition of rich is objective. In many peoples minds, the rich are any...
