That anyone could possibly compare 9/11 and the January 6 Capitol riot, in which no one was killed except one of the people who entered the Capitol, is puzzling. An obscene moral equivalence has gripped America and other Western countries. Anything that favors the Islamic or Marxist agenda is propagated through mainstream media and accepted without question by far too many. No amount of reasoning to expose the truth will convince the willfully blind segment of the populace, who are being played for fools.
The 9/11 Islamic jihad attack on America has been mostly forgotten in the shadow of the dark agenda that is now being implemented against America. Judeo-Christian values are diminishing; Marxist and Islamic Sharia values are spreading.
“9/11 victims’ families outraged over media claims Capitol riot was worse ‘to score points politically,’” by David Rutz, Fox News, July 16, 2021:
When retired New York Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches speaks about it, the anger and sadness in his voice is unmistakable.
It’s been nearly 20 years since his son Jimmy was among the 343 New York firefighters to die at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The 9/11 terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people, launched wars, and changed the world.
But since the January 6 Capitol riot, when a mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the building to disrupt certification of Joe Biden’s election victory, some commentators and reporters have claimed it’s not just on par with the 9/11 attacks, but actually even worse.
Riches and other family members of victims told Fox News they’re disgusted when they hear of the two events even being compared, let alone suggesting the riot, while stunning and disgraceful, was the darker day.
“It’s a shame,” he said. “Are they kidding me? 3,000 people died, plus we have more people dying from the air that was down there … They’re comparing it to score points politically. The families are really [angry]. When I talk to them, when they compare it to that, they find that outrageous.”….
revereridesagain says
To the Left, 9/11 was accomplished by their precious victims of “Islamophobia”, while the capitol “riot” of 1/6/21 was perpetrated by the hated supporters of President Donald J. Trump.
No further “explanation” for this obscene moral equivalence is really necessary.
mortimer says
Too true. I hear this sort of perverted emotional rhetoric from most of the Leftists I know. CNN’s propaganda in favor of globalism and Islam has been very persuasive. These people are living in their isolated castle in Spain while claiming that dissenters should be silenced. And they are silencing us. They are successfully silencing us and then they will fire us from our jobs. No dissent is allowed by these New Globalist Fascists.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Here we have Fake News that diminish the cruelty to the victims both in the air and ground, the bravery of fire fighters and police in the rescue efforts. Let us never forget which group that perpetrated this crime.
In time no doubt the the truth will be blurred or forgotten.
Angela Merkel has forgotten or has no clue of what happens in 1065ad, 12000 German pilgrims set of to the Holy Land to celebrate the Easter holy week. After an arduous journey , 10 000 pilgrims were slaughters on Good Friday, 2000 pilgrims returned to Germany.
Infidel says
The thing I’m wondering is – what took them this long? That contention that 1/6 was worse than 9/11 is even more repugnant than Ilhan Omar’s “Some people did something” or Darryl Issa’s “Just a plane crash” to describe the same event!
Rarely says
There are too many differences between the two to run any comparison. Clearly 9/11 was much more tragic and devastating — so much so that it must stand alone.
Jan 6th, as a horrid attack on American democracy stands alone as well but on a different scale.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Just an observation, there were no weapons seized, there happens one unarmed person shot and killed, Ashli Babbitt . No one knows who shot her and why?
At best it was a trespassing case, until otherwise proved.
The rioting death and looting, in moral equivalence is much worse.
Infidel says
Jan 6th was not an attack on American democracy: it was a group of people protesting a rigged election. Just like our State Department encourages dissidents in other countries to do when their elections match the standards that today’s Dems are demanding in red and purple states, but conveniently ignoring in blue states
If one wants to compare something to 9/11, it would be the BLM/Antifa riots of last summer
wpm says
Yes BLM/ Antifa riots were terrorist activities causing billions of dollars in damage causing at least 20 murders, blackmailing idiotic corporate heads to donate money to them Blackmailing the America government to give them money and support. Having Democratic elected mayors and governors to have their police stand down to appease the terrorist. Pushing to change western laws that we are all not equal in the eyes of the law.
The 1/6 protest had no burning of government property, no looting, no armed protestors, throwing bricks, vandalizing beyond some broken windows and minor damages to doors. The capital police responsible for shooting an unarmed women being the only person killed on site. The media spin of the capital police officer who die of an heart attack hours after getting home. Congress was in at “work” hours after the “riots”.
911 was attack on all Americans for the high crime according to Sharia law of being unbelievers killing almost 3000 Americans that day because they were American .

Sorry guys. I must have seen different videos than you did. In the ones I saw there was a noticeable lack of picnic baskets but plenty of unguided tours and a curious game of hide-and-seek being played with members of Congress. Perhaps even an attempt to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power and threats on the lives of the VP and Speaker? Quite a case of trespass.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Well they were alowed in by Capitot Police, Possible you are an imaginative person?

Possibly I am. Allowed in by the Capitol police? And at the invite of the then sitting President too I imagine.
A simple investigation should clear up any misunderstandings and imaginings. Good thing Congress is putting together a bipartisan one. That should do it.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Listen to this and read the coments.
From a South African point of view, every acusation against trump by the democrat’s and media has proved to me false.
God Bless Trump his family and of course the USA,
Please stand for your Anthem.

Yes a bunch of idiots arm with what? Pitch forks, guns, knives ,bombs ,letter openers, baseball bats ,fire bombs no ??? were waved in by armed Capital Police they were idiots yes how were they going to stop the “transfer’ of power? Trespassing , yes, rioting yes ,were they jailed yes. What was their mission they did not even know! Trump wanted the National Guard there Congress said no I guess that would have put a damper on the show.
Can we put that on the same scale as almost 3000 killed on one day billions in damages the start of a war the United States has been in almost 20 years?

Of course one can’t compare the two — they’re too different. Idiotic to try or even mention them in the same sentence.
BTW. At what point did Trump ask Congress to call in the National Guard?
wpm says
Before Jan 6 2021 Trump asked Congress about having the National Guard there Congress turn him down. Then After Jan.6 2021 Congress put up check point Charley with a lot of troops

Judging by your comments you haven’t the foggiest notion of how many people entered the Capitol building that day and what most of them did while inside.
Trump did not tell his supporters to enter the building. The vast majority walked in through the front doors which were opened for them by the Capitol police. No one was armed.
You sound like a typical misinformed Canadian. Given that the Canadian media is almost universally Trump-deranged this is not surprising.

Infidel says
Not to mention, most of the people had already arrived at the capitol before President Trump had finished his speech. Even if one chooses to ignore his plea to ‘peacefully and patriotically’ protest or spin it as meaning something completely different
Rarely says
Amazing how we all saw different things.
Well the bipartisan congressional committee set up to take a close look at Jan 6th should be able to clarify the situation — if allowed to do its job. Suspect the committee will be obstructed though.
The “event” didn’t look like a benign thing notwithstanding the spin many here try to put on it.
BTW, although i am as conservative as many of you, I don’t subscribe to right wing conspiracy theories any more than to left wing ones. But don’t worry because, as a Canadian, I won’t get to vote in your elections anyway.

How in your imagination could a couple of hundred unarmed people with no leadership and no plan possibly interfere with the lawful transfer of power? You have been Gaslit to perfection.

TDS drives the libtard progressives(Communist of the highest order} mad and into the siding of mad greens(climate change cultists) and Jihadist who want to destroy all western cultural ,norms and laws. They all want to re-write history to push their warped agenda all white men bad, and the west is evil ,evil done to the west is the western “cultural ” fault. What the mad greens and feel good “all cultural are equal” libtards do not realize they will be the first people thrown into the mass grave pits, hung from lamp posts or thrown off buildings, raped , burn alive in cages if the Jihadist take over the western cultural, and laws, also the government .The communist were the first group killed in Iran when that went full Sharia between 1979 and 1980.
Useful idiots ,all !
World@70 says
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the left have realized that the Democrats have a very good chance of losing a great deal of their power and influence after the 2022 election, because of their border failures, broken promises on taxes, changing the US from an oil exporter to an oil importer that increased gas costs by over 50%, eliminating thousands of good paying jobs with the canceling of the XL pipeline and stopping oil leases on public lands, their war on the 1st and 2nd Amendments, defunding the police, promoting Socialism and pushing to totally bankrupt America with the Green New Deal fiasco.
So, they know they have to do something in an attempt to distract the public from all these failures and they have very little to work with. Making outrageous claims such as this and Biden’s favorite statement that 1/6/21 was the worst attack on this country since the Civil War. I guess revisionist history has redefined the attack on Pearl Harbor as a peaceful protest.
Sorry to be so longwinded but it just gets to me that the left believes the public is so stupid they will swallow this crap hook, line and sinker.
Terry Gain says
I object to the word RIOT being used to describe what was in most cases simply walking into a building which had been opened for them by the Capitol police. Most of the people who entered were either sightseers or trespassers.The event should be referred to as the ill-advised Capitol sightseeing and trespass.

Killing an unarmed girl is called in democracy in US and even Putin disapproved of this ugly behaviour of the State Department As Infidel said, It was a very sloppy attempt to uphold the U.S. Constitution in a stolen election…

Yes–note that there is no concern on the left over an unarmed woman being shot to death by police.

Can’t help but wonder if the level of “concern” would be higher if the victim had been Black – and was wearing a Biden/Harris ball cap…

Very tragic but not surprising.

Rarely you tell us what she was doing you saw all the coverage according to your opinion it was a very violent crowd armed and ready to do battle to over throw the government of America behind the evil genus the guy with the horns on his head. .Maybe you know the name of the unnamed officer ,no one else does even the leader of the Capital police will not name him. AOC was wetting her pants 400 yards away across the street in a building lock up not being invaded by the “Trump” army .

Just shameful–moral insanity. Even referring to it as 1/6 is an attempt to conflate it with 9/11.

The only thing the Democrats have is point out the so call 1/6″ insurrection “,they have failed in pushing their defund the police policy most voters against it ,they have failed in pushing their CRT non-sense most voters are against it ,they have failed in their policy of closing down the pipeline deal causing gas prices to raise most people are against it. The open border policy a fail ,the lock down still being push in democratic control cities a fail. The BLM communist outfit the have embraced ,the rioting looting and murder going on in democratic control cities in the summer of 2020 called peaceful protest with the police of those cities made to stand down because of democrat leaders of those cities policies a fail. All they have to talk about is a about 400 unarmed people(out of a crowd of over 400K most who went home when told to by Trump)who were let into the capital building let in by the armed capital police ?The only person killed that day 1/6 was one unarmed woman “resurrection ” shot by a unnamed capital police officer who fired thur the broken window of a closed door. Yes the democrats have a very short list of things they can talk about for the 2022 elections of congress seats that will be trying to hold on too.I would say they are in the full panic mode next up in the democratic agenda is controlling what can be posted on the internet for our own safety ,health ,and the betterment of mankind.

Very true–even in most “blue” cities few want to actually defund the police. These fools have overreached.
