Wasn't the "gallows" of January 6 Just a Prop...?

I have to comment on the "gallows." If you go back and look at it in detail, you'll see that it is a flimsy thing that would fall down if it even could be used, and the barrel knot is just rope wrapped around some fat wad of white fabric sticking out both ends. They made it fat so it could be seen from far away, and that's why they used yellow rope. It won't even slide. (And to be even more of nitpicker, a hangman's noose has 13 wraps, that one only has nine.) You cannot hang a person with that thing anyway. That gallows was a PROP, yes a scary SYMBOL of death-to-come, I'm sure someone far away would be scared by it, but no one seems to notice that it was a statement, not an actual usable killing machine. Kathy Squatty Potty Griffin held up a Trump head and that was a prop too, and just the same symbol of violence.

    and here I thought I would be the only one who is tired of the phony buildup about Jan6, when the portland riots and takeovers seem to be ok...

    Yeah, the only lettering I can make out for sure is the "F VG" and the shape of what's below looks like an "@" something. If I was still working and had access to some of the software and equipment I could likely enhance the image and see what it says (if anything).

    The bolt is likely a pin so the cross member doesn't fall off the fake scaffold and hurt someone showing a little foresight in caring for others safety. Bah, some "gallows"!

    More stuff in the photo I noticed:
    1) Nobody is covering their face - all are plain to see
    2) Doesn't look like anyone is armed - some "insurrection"
    3) The people are just standing around talking to each other - again, some "insurrection"
    4) Nobody is throwing stuff
    5) No fires being lit
    6) no looting taking place

    Heck, this isn't even a decent riot by leftist standards!

    They are preaching to their own audience, and not that many are watching, it's so boring. It's not great television, ratings are low. Those hearings are more heat than light.

    There's more in the photo. I just saw in the upper right corner, a bolt sticking out. And there's handwriting on it, like initials and possibly a web address, I can't make it out. Also look at where the photographer stood, exact right angle so that the fake noose was perfectly centered over the spire of the Capitol. Even the NYSlimes article about it stated it was not known where it came from or who put it up, nor was it tall enough to be used. They said it looked like a threat! Don't waste your time reading it, I read it so you don't have to. (Ya gotta read what your enemies write.) Now I have to wash my eyes out with soap.

    "I can't say it or I'm gonna get arrested...we have to go INTO the Capitol!" Yeah I called bs on him the way Epps behaved when he spoke that scripted line.

    It's a rule for Hollywood. When the butt quotient starts to sag, the political quotient starts to increase.

    LMAO! Contrasting this presentation with Madonna wanting to blow up the WH with Trump in it, it's plain to see this satire is funny where Madonna is an idiot. Not a double standard at all, LOL!

    Hmmm, interesting angle. If true, then it's turning out like a lot of things the left has done lately - a weapon in the beginning, but bites them in the butt when the people catch on. I suspect this whole J 6 charade is turning out to be just that.

    Of course it begs the Q uestion who put it up?
    The optics are pointless unless you want to make a certain group in attendance look like a dangerous extremist threat. 99% sure it was Ray Epps.
    Prove me wrong Ray. Come testify in Bannons trial Ray.

    I dont even listen or watch the nonsense about the Jan 6 incident. When the leftists took away the idea of a legitimade election, they left only violence in a society. Jan 6 was an indication of the upset over the election, and should be taken as that.

    Very cool. I used to be into powerboats with my Dad, same story, used to sit on the boat and practice knots.

    You're welcome. Been bugging me a long time. I never thought some troll on here would inspire me to post it.

    It's just a damned extended and early campaign advertisement to Get Trump and smear the Republicans, in advance of the midterms. It's also to distract us from all the money they are about to steal before they get out of office. Looks like Manchin is tapping the breaks a little bit.

    I AM LAUGHING !!!

    I love that movie watched it more than once. There's a meme somewhere comparing Biden's skeletal face to the Martian head. Who knows it might show up in one of the next loads...
