In reply to the discussion: Some Capitol riot suspects apologize as consequences sink in [View all]Postal Grunt
(217 posts)40. What we're they thinking?
What were they thinking and what did they expect when they were were posting videos of themselves during their insurrection? Maybe they thought that chronicling their behavior would bring them accolades for being the vanguard of the "Stop the steal!" movement. What they never considered is that those same posts could be evidence of their own criminal and immature behavior. Obviously they haven't studied Shakespeare but they're going to learn about being hoisted on their own petard.
We should be grateful when those clowns are removed from donating to the human gene pool.
