The lag between whatever the original media narrative was and when we hear what actually happened seems to be getting longer and longer. Seems like we'll learn what the Biden administration is actually doing sometime in 2028.

What on earth are you on about? Shouldn't the cops add physical barriers to reduce the likelihood of multiple protesters making it onto the grounds? At that point, people get shot.

What direction would you rather us go towards? Reducing the physical barriers and use of chemical agents so that more secret service agents get injured and the likelihood of lethal force being used is higher?
The protesters for blm are not the same asthe Jan. 6th insurrectionists (re: wrong direction). The fences were to protect an isolated and corrupt president that was already secure behind a fence & bunker unlike the capital which was (as we watched) very accessible (re: what were they for?).

Ah yes, we'll simultaneously make fun of the President for being in a bunker while downplaying the seriousness of that. Sounds like congress needs more bunkers.

Lets keep on downplaying political violence when our team does it and see where that gets us.

1/6 was a "mostly peaceful protest" if we're going by that retarded standard.

Triggered much?

My point is that the fencing was unnecessary, unlike walling off the building that was actually stormed and invaded.

So we only put up fencing after a massive security failure? Seems backwards to me.

At the site of ongoing riots? Yes.

The whitehouse 'protests' were a nothingburger in your understanding?

Fence everything is a sentiment for the keep off my lawn crowd. You can't be that old.

If the intelligence reports were acted on, then I'm sure the capital building could have been more secure prior to the 6th invasion. Again, my point is that the white house is an already much more secure and protected building than the capital. Where were the personnel from the Lafayette incident on Jan. 6th? It seems to me that the walls were theater more than necessary for protect lives & property.

Does the report about gassing protesters (I couldn't read the whole pay-walled article, just your quote) state that they felt the need to clear everyone to add the fencing to "protect officers" (whatever that means) was based on intelligence that things were expected to escalate? It's still awfully convenient to learn this now and have Trump march through at the exact right time for his campaign promo video with an upside-down Bible. I know I always bring my own Bible to church...

Maybe they needed more fencing to "protect the officer" that actually got run over and killed?

IIRC, the fences were installed because the people setting fires outside the Whitehouse fences were using that park a staging ground and trying to tear down the Andrew Jackson statue in the park. The church had been set on fire and vandalized shortly before the install as well.

And least we forget, the protests at the White House were of the "mostly peaceful" kind and went on for days:

Thanks. Good reminder about the significance of the park & the nonpeaceful protesters.

Still feel like walling off the white house overkill given all that already separates & secures it.
