    Default D.C. officer: "It was clear the terrorists perceived themselves to be Christians"

    D.C. Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges on Tuesday painted a vivid and emotional picture of the rioters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, calling them "terrorists" and describing how unusual it was that they waved Christian imagery and Thin Blue Line flags.

    Why it matters: Hodges was one of four police officers who testified at the first hearing of the Jan. 6 select committee. Harrowing video footage from the day of the riot shows how he was violently attacked and crushed against a Capitol door by the pro-Trump mob.

    What he's saying: "The sea of people was punctuated throughout by flags. Mostly variations of American flags and Trump flags. There was Gadsden flags. It was clear the terrorists perceived themselves to be Christians. I saw the Christian flag directly to my front, and another had 'Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president.' Another, 'Jesus is king,'" Hodges said.

    Yes. FBI knows that fundraising for this terrorist attack came from Christian groups.

    That's weird. It almost seems as if the GOP congressmen who compared them to normal tourists was lying his fat ass off.

    here we go. Xtian white terrorists.. the demonization stage of testimony

    were they ALL Christian? the cop implies that
    were they all terrorist? = I dont buy a riot being a terrorist attack
    But I bet my last dime there are going to be sentencing enhancements for "terrorism"
    ( even though Soros prosecutors like LA have dropped enhanced sentencing)

    Hello AProudLefty,

    The first felony case was sentenced. The insurrectionist was non-violent, swept up in the mob, went inside. He got 8 months and has to pay $2000 for damages.

    Of course, it will cost tax payers way more than that to keep him in lock-down.

    Oh btw. Those who think COVID measures were 'lock downs?' I call BS.

    We are not required to always use strict legal felony definitions and statutory code when speaking in normal, vernacular English.

    Oxford English Dictionary

    Terrorist:
    "a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

    Anecdote and witness testimony backed up by video and photographic proof is among the strongest form evidence.

    The video does not lie about what conservative protestors were up to that day..

    America is probably responsible for more fake Christianity than most countries.

    “The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.”

    Gustave Le Bon,
