In reply to the discussion: Newly obtained video shows movement of group suspected of constructing Jan. 6 gallows hours before Capitol siege [View all]ms liberty
(10,167 posts)33. DU has been discussing this since January 6th, 2021 as it was happening.
And that's three years now. Anything we say here today has been said here before, dozens of times at the least. And there's definitely been worse said here.

I see you joined on March 7th, 2024. Welcome to DU.

A judge might see that differently. Soundness of the structure would not be the measure. The intention of the object

Agree; it's obviously much too flimsy to really hang anyone, but I'm wondering

Yes. In the context of the whole situation the gallows was more than just "art."
