It definitely was not and there is boatloads of readily-accessible evidence to prove it. And dozens of juries of your peers looked at this evidence and convicted the perpetrators.

If you are too lazy for that, just read the Brooks Brothers Riot wiki page and square that with your recollection of Jan 6.

Cool, cite it.

> Brooks Brothers Riot wiki page

That's a seperate event. What does that have to do with the Capitol riots? On what specific wiki? Do you mean Wikipedia? Wikipedia not a citable reference, according to Wikipedia.


I think if your parent comment gets nuked the burden of proof shifts to you, but here's a starting point I shouldn't have to provide:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_proceedings_in_the_Ja...

You'll notice many specific claims have things called footnotes that you can click on for corroborating data sources.

> That's a seperate event. What does that have to do with the Capitol riots?

Familiarize yourself with it and if the relationship isn't obvious I can help. Of course, you don't have to believe in a correlation to understand that Jan 6 was premeditated by many participants, it's just a fun piece of Roger Stone lore!

> On what specific wiki? Do you mean Wikipedia?

Yeah typically when someone references "wiki" without qualification they mean https://wikipedia.org. It's the de facto standard for general information, even in the LLM era.

> Wikipedia not a citable reference, according to Wikipedia.

What on earth are you blathering about? If you have a problem with a data source you are welcome to seek alternatives. That doesn't somehow mean an event didn't occur or is unknowable.

That’s a very clear sentence and there is no need to be rude to me. What specific part don’t you understand, you stupid fucking cunt?
