Two thoughts. One, Pentland is a soldier and the army took action against him - - NOT the police.
Two. Shortly after Trump tweeted his January 6 rally cry "it will be wild" liberal organizers and activists responded. On a regular basis we received texts "Do not take the bait, stay away from DC on Jan. 6".
As a result, the only people who showed up at Trump's Jan. 6 rally were his own supporters (and very cautious, experienced reporters). That is the reason, liberals never believed antifa or BLM had anything to do with the Capitol insurrection.
In February we learned these texts had been generated by well-organized and connected grassroots leaders. I make this point, by way of saying, anyone "assuming" leadership, would be wise to stay connected to some of our larger, well organized and experienced grassroots' leaders.
