I had no idea a sitting pres c incite one & still be walking free 2 yrs later. WTF is the holdup??????
ICannotSanctionURBuffoonery
Crazy. Almost like maybe other countries with this problem have a deeper threat inside their own house, preventing justice to be served...

My understanding is they were so confident the military would side with them they camped in front of military HQ. Makes them easy to find.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
The military and local government DID side with them by allowing those campments. DF governor has been suspended for 90 days.

In the US it’s not over until the lawyers get their share.
morninggloryshade777
Of what? Trump doesn't pay his bills. Others may pay them for him, like the RNC was doing....

Germany: Well, you COULD arrest them BEFORE they get to the coup attempt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To be fair, Germany learned that one the hard way.

Still impunity for leaders tho- https://jacobin.com/2021/01/kelly-loeffler-donald-trump-georgia-runoff-elections-senate-republicans-impunity

Loeffler is still alive & spewing lies???

Its also possible to just throw their carcasses into the incinerator after they get gunned down for being anti democratic filth too.

even brazil with all its problems is a better democracy than usa it turns out
EnderKing567
You know America is falling when Brazil handles right wing terrorism better than the US.
TheActualFBI
Arrests like this were always very easy here to be accepted. But some news outlets still calls them as vandals or hooligans and that 1/

protests cannot be violent, instead of calling for what it is: terrorism.

It's easier to catch them red handed than brown handed. Shit's slippery, yo

It's almost as if calling something a "coup" or an "insurrection" doesn't actually make it one.
TheZommie
yeah, it was just a group of friendly tourists, who were actually placed there by ANTIFA pretending to be trump supporters and funded by FBI

Yeah any country with working laws and a working judicial branch would have done the same. The US should have lined them up and shot 'em.
morninggloryshade777
The sentence for treason--the USA's #1 most egregious crime--is still, I believe, hanging....

Sauces from here already stated 1200 arrests on the same day of the attack. With many officials stating they`ll go after others.

I love how they thought the army came to help them and cheered them right up to the point they started arresting people.
Jbelkin
Trump is right when he says America is a third world country … only he got us there …
SpammersAreScum
Let no-one forget: Bannon and other election deniers went to Brazil not long before all this stated. I wonder if they broke any laws?
morninggloryshade777
That's likely an affirmative.
SpammersAreScum
After all, if Brazil has expressed interest in pursuing George Santos for his crime in Brazil now that they know where he is...

they broke about a brazillian laws while there I bet.

Has the Cuban community in Miami welcomed Bolsonaro?
djangojazz
Well yeah in countries that give a shit. Just not the US.
SlightlyDodgy
The police over there haven't been neutered. They probably could go into to an school shooter situation naked and using only fists.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
I understand where you're coming from, but please don't think that Brazilian police is anything good in general. ACAB here too.
controlsthepresent
Unpopular opinion: Waiting was smarter (since security was already compromised). Those morons went home and left mile wide data trails
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
The data trails are here too, the buses that brought the terrorists were rented, there are lists of passengers. Over 100 arrests already.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
and it's going to go higher up
morninggloryshade777
But the head of the snake is still slithering around AND announcing another pres run in 24. Times awastin'.....
OnomatopoeicOnanisma
Smarter move at the exit: "This way to the express service sir, for your safety" *loaded bus goes direct to county jail for processing*
SaveitforQueenDoppelpoppolus
yeah the secret is the guy who fomented the insurrection has to not also be currently in charge of the military and dc national guard
DeveloperExtraordinaire
Exactly. The difference between a coup and an autocoup.
vonHoopla
And the opposition has to be willing to actually fight when they're threatened with violence...
walnutbreath
The terrorists wanted Antifa to engage them. A full-on firefight would've given Trump pretext to declare martial law. And reminder, if you
walnutbreath
fight back and kill a neo-Nazi, they dispatch a hit squad to summarily execute you.
vonHoopla
Then you wage war with them. There is literally no living with neonazis. You join them, or you get horribly tortured and enslaved/killed.
walnutbreath
Good luck taking on the U.S. Marshall's service.
Ismellofhockey
I kind of enjoyed watching the net close around them slowly, or watching them get betrayed by their family and grabbed in random places.
SaveitforQueenDoppelpoppolus
for some reason in the US the president-elect isn’t allowed to give orders to the military two weeks before hes inaugurated to the office
morninggloryshade777
That's 14 days. Right...?
ViscousCousCous
aye, a fortnight
TheS4ndm4n
A fortnight
nullbr
At least
morninggloryshade777
Ru all just being silly...or missing the point here?? It was definitely planned in advance. Nothing spontaneous or casual about it.
ProbablySmellLikeDoge
I think you're missing the point. It was a fortnight. That's over a dozen.
loedout
Having total control of the GOP and the most watched "news" channel in the country didn't hurt either.
CaptainAsshat
Fox News is your most watched news channel? Fuck me that's sad.

Don't forget that Susan Collins said he learned his lesson at the start of 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjfVWg_g1ls
Psyman2
It also helped that the insurrectionists literally camped in front of an army base to "hide" because they thought they'd support them.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
They've been there for MONTHS. Absolutely unacceptable that nothing was done before. But yeah, better late than never.

Bolsonaro hospitalized in Florida...I want to believe that he went to Trump to get proof about voting machine fraud and had an attack --->
HuruinaInu
---> when he realized it was all B.S.
morninggloryshade777
No he's just hiding another layer deeper. Deport his lying treasonous arse...& arrest our orange one already.
walnutbreath
Bolsonaro's go to "get out of scandal" card is to go to the hospital and then frame everything as attacking a sick man. He needs to be

They have medical planes & hospitals in Brazil.

discharged and deported back to Brazil.
NationofSchrad
Historically, you could do a lot more than arrest them…
GooteMoo
This is true, and maybe it would feel good to be mean to them, but historically, it also didn't work, 'cause here we are
GooteMoo
Like, for sure arrest them, and prison is probably a good lesson for them, but let's not wheel out the guillotines just yet
nubblebun
Yeah I got booted off Twitter for a week for mentioning that. Weird. But the fascists who spread lies are still there!
putcleverusernamehere
You know that saying "some of you were never punched for being a rude ass and it shows"? Needs to be updated: ....1/2...
putcleverusernamehere
...2/2... "some of you weren't shot on sight during your attempted insurrection and it shows"

Do it the Roman way - blind them and force them into the monastic life.
TheFeigningNinja
Depending on which era, it could also mean fighting multiple civil wars back to back
JustAPileOfCats
I mean, at this rate, that might happen anyway.
AVaguelyFamiliarUsername
That would just make them a burden to someone. Jail them and let them work. Like pick up trash at national parks, repairing roads...
JustAPileOfCats
Not very Roman of you.
