I guess you would support passing Patriot Act 2.0 as the proper response.
They'll say we need it, in order to prevent future riots.
No I would not. I would say that you need to prosecute people that break the law. Existing laws are sufficient, they just need to be enforced. In particular, people that murder police officers who are trying to do their job need to face the full force of the law. And politicians that tell that crowd an hour previously that "“We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore" bear responsibility for whipping up and inciting the crowd. A direct quote from Trump. Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. … We are going to the Capitol, and we are going to try and give — the Democrats are hopeless, they are never voting for anything, not even one vote, but we are going to try — give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re try — going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.” Now I know all the Trump apologists on this thread are going to say that he didn't incite violence and that he didn't mean it. But in your hearts you know he wanted a riot and you know that he deliberately held back the National Guard and prevented the brave officers on the hill from getting the support they so desperately needed. This was an attempted militia coup, and we are all very lucky that it failed. Some might think that a rioting crowd erecting a gallows is just a prank, but that's not how others see it. The fact that a number of rioters were carrying large packages of zip tie restraints indicates they intended to use them.

However, violence needs to be addressed at its sources
Violence needs to be addressed at 'violence' level, not on people 'having wrong opinions' level. Yes, when you failed in preventing violence at educational and mindset levels, you have to address it at the "violence level". In complex system theory, the latter would be a great example for a fail, however. So... full-scale cultural revolution and re-education camps? If our goal is to 'prevent violence' at all costs, I guess we must ban boxing, UFC, 'toxic masculinity', video games and movies? Nope. "ban" if not violence, is at least force. Should be avoided. Did i already say it's an educational problem at its roots? We can only address future generations with broad success, but we need to actually start at some point.

How can you be so protective of Trump supporters? Trump has been spreading lies and inciting hatred for years and what we see now is the result of that. Words have become deeds. I am sure that the division will continue under Biden, Trump voters feel cheated of their victory and do not accept the new president. You can see even here how deluded some people are.

That's what I read. The rest is nothing troubling either. You are reading your own opinion in those words. Snap out of it. If I want to see people fighting instead of reasoning, I'll go to Twitter.

Here is a good video from someone who was there. I respect Bret Weinstein and Jeremy Lee Quinn for what they are trying to do. Which is bring everyone together and stop the hysteria. If you are left or right this video will not fuel your side. It really dives deep into what the country is facing. Also some surprising information about what happened during the day. The Media is trying to manipulate everyone. DarkHorse Podcast w/ Jeremy Lee Quinn & Bret Weinstein: The Capitol Insurrection, A View from Inside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFJdjO0fD4E

The FBI has announced this individual is being sought for the murder of the police officer. You can see him holding the fire extinguisher. Some people have suggested that CFD means Chicago Fire Department. I don’t know about that.

Some people have suggested that CFD means Chicago Fire Department. Everyone who causes violence or breaks the law needs to be arrested! I think we all agree. Just like what should have happened in the summer .

The FBI comments have been widely reported as part of an FBI press conference. Forbes did not make them up.

It only starts with them. It will be used against the Left eventually. Left also engages in protests, you know... I am sure that the division will continue under Biden, Trump voters feel cheated of their victory and do not accept the new president. You can see even here how deluded some people are.
Just like Hillary voters felt cheated of their victory and decided not to accept the result...

The "left" will put cop-murderers in jail. Then it's up to the "right" to take revenge on the left for putting the cop-murderers in jail. Bring it on. And perhaps the so-called patriots' next fascist putsch will succeed. But in the meantime, a bunch of killer clowns are going to jail.

Banning, monitoring, censoring, removing, or cancelling anything that isn't illegal as determined by a judge and directed by law enforcement with a warrant, is the start of a very dark future for all of us.
Our forefathers who died in the millions to give us the freedoms we have, will have all died for nothing if this continues. Everyone used to think China had it all wrong and now it seems everyone is all for the Chinese way of censorship and punishment of dissent.
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.
Yeah, there are a lot of mentally ill people on the far right and on the far left but unless they do something "illegal", they have a right to say and do whatever they want. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it should be curtailed in any way unless congress or their state legislature passes a law against whatever they are doing and law enforcement takes action.
The idea that incitement of anything should be illegal is just plain communist to the core. That's basically saying, don't say anything controversial or in dissent or it might incite someone to do something. Now, if you directed someone to do something illegal, like if Trump said go kill people, then maybe there is something illegal there.
And no, I'm not a Trump supporter.

Looks like they found him, and CFD indeed stands for Chicago Fire Department https://twitter.com/PamWolf12896175/status/1348866191528493056

Tulsi Gabbard (D) is someone that everyone could have rallied around . She is all about common sense. In this interview she tells how there are very few moderates left in the Democratic party. She is awesome. Have a listen to what she says about the corruption in DC.
