Albuquerque Cosper Head

 Albuquerque Cosper Head ~ what a name ~ was given one of the longest sentences for J6 riot, that McCarthy, Carlson and his viewers overlook.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson reportedly said: The dark shadow of tyranny unfortunately has not gone away. There are people who are still disseminating the lie that the election was stolen. They’re doing it today. And the people who are stoking that anger for their own selfish purposes, they need to think about the havoc they’ve wreaked, the lives they’ve ruined.”  

"I've got one," head yelled as he grabbed Metropolitan Police Department Officer Michael Fanone by the neck, dragging him into the crowd. The mob beat and shocked him at base of skull with a stun gun, causing Fanone to pass out. "Kill him with his own gun," the sightseers yelled.

The attack caused Fannone to have a heart attack, and traumatic brain injury, ending his career. 

Kyle Young shouted "Kill him," "Get his gun," (recorded on unconscious officers' body cam. Thomas Sibick stole officer's badge and radio. Daniel “D.J.” Rodriguez, was charged with using stun gun on the officer.

Democracy

 "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." ~ H L Mencken, July 26, 1920

The United States Congress first organized in 1789, is an elected bicameral democratic legislative body established by Article I of the United States Constitution, ratified in 1788.

Anytime someone comment's says "Democracy" someone points out that "we are not a Democracy, we are a Republic." Than another points out "we are a democratic republic." 

I equate democracy with freedom/liberty. Most of us do not want a dictatorship, we want democratic elections; the illusion that we are in charge of who rules us.
