"Capitol Punishment": must-see documentary

 

Over the weekend, our household watched the documentary Capitol Punishment, about the January 6 rally in DC.  It is a must-see.  The Daily Signal’s full interview with Nick Searcy and Chris Burgard is here, and I recommend either watching the video of the interview or reading the transcript before watching the documentary itself.

I found a review online that reflects our own reactions at conejoguardian:

Every freedom-loving American who honestly cares about what transpired on January 6, 2021 in our nation’s capital needs to see the riveting new documentary, Capitol Punishment. It’s a gripping and engaging story truthfully told by the people who were there on the ground that day.

The movie depicts what the mainstream media and our government wouldn’t show the American people — what actually happened. It’s an awakening for the people who have yet to understand the precarious position our freedoms are in. I had no idea how bad the deception, lies and cover-up could be until I watched this alarming account.

Recently, I had the privilege of interviewing Chris Burgard, the director, and Nick Searcy, the producer, of Capitol Punishment. The most pressing question for me was, what provoked Chris and Nick to document the events of January 6? Nick explained that it wasn’t until they returned home and saw how the media portrayed it — in a totally false way, inconsistent with what they personally witnessed.

“As the lies started to build up, we decided we wanted to make a movie about that day,” Nick told me.

He says the media suggested that there were only a few thousand people attending the events in D.C. that day, when in fact there were well over a million present to peacefully protest an election they thought was fraudulent and possibly stolen.

Chris noted that there was virtually no police presence except at the Ellipse where President Trump was speaking. Strangely, there were no camera crews, either, “almost as if it’s not happening,” he said. At one point on their walk to the Capitol, Chris told his wife Lisa, “There is something wrong going on here. There is no police presence and no major camera crews from CNN, MSNBC, FOX. This is eerie and I have a bad feeling that someone is going to die here today.”

Chris also witnessed suspicious people with military microphones dressed in typical Antifa and BLM apparel, with backpacks. Chris’s crew also documented a few people changing from pro-Trump clothing to Antifa and BLM clothing in the bushes. [Actually it was the other way around;  Antifa and BLM protestors wearing black clothes & face masks are filmed changing clothes into pro-Trump “patriots” garb. -D]

. . . I implore you to watch Capitol Punishment and decide for yourself if the legacy media and our government deceived the American people.

To watch online for $9.99 (and worth every penny} click here.  I’ve seen links to free access online, but it’s a small amount to pay for such a valuable resource.

The documentary also focuses on the murder of Ashli Babbitt.  When news outlets refer to the “deadly” insurrection of January 6, it's not the Trump supporters who were the aggressors.  One of the victims, Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot by Capitol Police officer Lt. Michael Byrd.  No charges.  The documentary has very distressing but moving interviews with Ms. Babbitt’s widower, Aaron.  Below is an image of Ashli Babbitt by Stilton Jarlsberg via BookwormRoom:
