This new website exposes many of the unpatriotic seditious insurrectionists using simplifying technology. Will they pay the price?
Alleged insurrectionists exposed?
The DailyKos reported the following.
One of the more singular aspects of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was the role not simply of photography, but of video. It’s difficult to fathom such a defining moment in American history so vividly and fulsomely recorded by so many at the same time; the attacks of 9/11, for example, were widely photographed but a live visual record of the attacks themselves was relatively limited due to the suddenness of the event, and the unavailability of such technology at the ready for witnesses to use.
Of course that is entirely due to the widespread use of smartphone video technology which has turned everyone an amateur videographer. Video has proved itself an enormous force for social change, as evidenced most vividly by the racial justice protests this past summer, galvanized by a single video of a Black man being murdered by a white police officer. In that context video has become a uniquely useful means of preserving and disseminating actions by police which normally went unseen by the majority of the population.
The sheer speed by which this ubiquity of video recording provided the country an unmistakably clear picture of what exactly occurred on Jan. 6 was itself stunning, but perhaps even more stunning was the relative indifference of the participants to its implications. In video after video we saw people engaged in indefensible acts of criminality and violence, seemingly oblivious or indifferent to the fact that their actions were being recorded for all to see. Whether that indifference was due to feelings of personal entitlement by the persons involved, a belief that their actions would not be seen as criminal, or for some other reason is a fruitful subject for discussion, but for now, the reasons why so many people willingly allowed themselves to be recorded while performing such acts is less important than the consequences of that decision.
