Storming the Bill of Rights

The Right has long been unfriendly to civil liberties, at least where civil liberties clashed with the will of law enforcement. This needs to change. 

As soon as police secured the Capitol building on January 6, only a few hours after rioters had entered, the gears at the Department of Justice began grinding out tactics and strategies to investigate and charge the rioters. 

Having downplayed riots instigated by Black Lives Matter and Antifa in Washington, D.C., and across the country throughout 2020, the Left, the media, and the FBI immediately inflated the events at the Capitol from a riot to an attempted coup d’etat, an armed insurrection, sedition, and domestic terrorism.

If that was a riot, it was one of the most peaceful riot in the history of the world.
