January 6: The Most Deadliest Day

When I realize how many lives were ruined and families torn apart in the aftermath of January 6, 2021 I didn't think even the Babylon Bee could find anything amusing about it. But somehow they not only succeeded in making me laugh out loud; but they also successfully drove home the point that the event has been way overblown.

They did this by conducting on-the-street interviews. People can say their interviews were staged, but there was clearly a variety of opinions.

The most moving part of the documentary was their naming of a few people (out of approximately 1400) who were charged and heavily penalized for minor infractions.

That some of the people involved could be persuaded to play along with the gags after all they'd been through speaks volumes about how subversive and "dangerous" they really are.

What's not at all funny is that people have lost jobs, businesses, livelihoods, veteran's benefits, and even homes for exercising their freedom of speech. Families have been torn apart and even relatives have been put on watch lists. And many January 6th protesters are languising in prison after all these years and still awaiting trial.

I'm glad the Babylon Bee is able to help us find some humor in a very uneasy subject. Heaven help us all if we ever lose our ability to laugh.
