I was surprised at a comment which dealt more in superficial characterizations of certain Trump supporters and Republicans than in substantial critique of their actions.

Lin. In the context of military style assault being overweight, out of physical condition, and underemployed are not superficial traits. They are relevant in evaluating the capability of Trump supported should the current Justice department arrest him. In the context of the thread content nobody need feel great trepidation.
Mike, Your comment has been raked over the coals. Perhaps, there was a bit of merit in believing that your characterization misrepresented the insurrectionists on 1/6. Kim provided a link to an article with a different assessment. You reported what you saw, not a careful study of the demographics. If you haven't read the article that was linked, perhaps, that would be worthwhile. I'm guessing that the accusation of 'stereotyping' on your part may have been behind the criticism. Your comments are usually well considered. I don't know what the truth is concerning this one, but you provided a bone that must be all chewed up by now. Salud, my friend.
Fern, no problem. My comment was in the context of another post where the concern was raised the Biden admin may have no backbone or be afraid to arrest Trump.
Again, if what we all saw at the Capitol is what Trump can field, no worries.
Even Trump himself, after the march began, referred to the people he had just addressed as "Low class".
Thank You All for your welcome.

Sorry, Mike, I saw that you did read the article.
Indeed, lin, such as remarks abt SSD and welfare.
Made me wonder, HUH?!!
Many at the assault were underemployed with free time. A pre-requisite to three days in DC.
Wrong. For more information read Kim's second link. The first was not of the report, nor what she intended to link.
Do you have a reference for that assertion?
