Hundreds violently broke their way into the Capitol

[rayg]

Never happened in our country before!..Is this the beginning of a revolution in our country?

At least 52 people were arrested Wednesday after hundreds violently broke their way into the Capitol and four people died, causing D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to enforce a curfew from 6pm.

How on earth was Congress siege allowed to happen? Dems demand security lapse probe into 'attempted coup' as video shows cops HELPING rioters and posing for selfies
Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan said that he was going to 'get to the bottom' of the lack of police presence that allowed hundreds to Trump fans to swarm the Capitol

He called into question the lack of planning, slamming it as an 'embarrassment'
Ryan also said there are people who are 'going to be without employment very, very soon' as he called the actions of the mob an 'attempted coup'

Social media footage has shown officers pulling barricades away for the Trump demonstrators, helping them down steps and even taking selfies

Their response has been criticized as it was revealed that only 52 people who barged into the Capitol were arrested

Word I heard is that Trump himself insisted on a limited role for the DC NG going in. Maybe he wanted the numbers on his side?

But once the SHTF, it was effectively Pence at the top of the chain of command authorizing the full DC NG. Nobody is quite admitting it but the picture being painted is that Trump himself was out of the loop when the response was organized. (Since he was the instigator this makes sense).

Now that Pence has broken clean, the 25th Amendment is in play. I hope it doesn't come to that, in part because if it did, Pence would be under tremendous pressure to issue a pardon to DJT, and he might do it. Best thing is for Trump to just watch a lot of the Comet network for the next two weeks plus pick out a new set of graphite-titanium-or-whatever golf clubs. And maybe look for some new lawyers.

Wait until you see how this hurts us in public opinion. Many people who were sitting on the fence will now consider US the thugs.

I'm withholding judgement on who was involved until I see the arrest records of those arrested yesterday, plus their voter registrations and data on who they voted for. I've watched a lot of video and studied Antifa attacks and this fits their MO. I don't see a lot of people who look like me storming the capital yesterday.

I'm also shocked at how easy it was to storm the building.

That's another stupid aspect -- never reveal to the enemy his weakness until you're ready to exploit it thoroughly.

Well the woman is dead. I've seen video of the shooting and I'd say the shooter must have been a bit nervous. Behind the victim was a man is a suit and armed Capital Police. It appears to have happened in a corridor with wooden glass paned doors at the junction of a stairwell and the corridor. In the corridor was a crowd of citizens and on the stairs and junction the police and a man in a suit. On the other side of the doors you can see chairs being used as a barricade and the arm of a man holding a pistol in what appears to be a doorway. The man with the pistol is in view for a few seconds then darts out and fires the shot that kills the woman and darts back inside the door way. You even see one of the Officers on the victims raise his rifle towards where the shot came from. From watching the video I'd say man fired too soon as reinforcements were already on the scene. I'd hate to be the officer who fired that shot. Its something he will have to live with.

What things?

I saw no pictures of fires or massive looting or vandalism, no vehicles being torched. Saw a picture of an NJ Congressman-D "cleaning up", I see more discarded waster bottles and masks when I walk through my liberal town.

Let me understand:

An outdoor venue was set-up on the Ellipse, the President was to speak and NOBIDY passed thru security screening?

Then left to the Capitol across the Mall and SOMEHOW acquired ropes, pipe bombs, gasoline bombs and were allowed to keep flags w /staffs along the way.

And the agility of those wall climbers on the outside of the capitol steps, is amazing for the typical Trumpsupporter.

What MALE BOVINE MANURE!

GIVE ME A BREAK!

They could not ALLOW and exposure of the SIGNED statements to become to light. so a significant outrage had to occur.

After all they have great respect for the "rule of law" [e.g.: "all allegations against "outsiders" must be DRAGGED out!]

Where were the checkpoints? Lots of side streets between the Ellipse and the Capitol.
