J6 wasn't a protest


I agree. Anybody who supports pardoning the J6 terrorists is obviously NOT supporting free speech because they support people who used violence to silence speech in congress.

When somebody uses violence it is not free speech it is suppression of free speech. You can't really speak freely when somebody hits you with a flagpole or pepperspray. Or even just threatens you with violence.


The court seems to disagree. None of them were charged with insurrection.


weird. they didn't charge leaders of the confederate states of america with insurrection either (aka the civil war)
