BREAKING: Hundreds of Trump supporters breach barricades, fight with police

Very true, and prepare as if it is only you against them, as it likely will be.

I’m afraid there’s gonna be more of this to come. I hope not. They’re are a lot of people, that you can carry a logical conversation with, that are pissed off . No doubt we are a divided country. I’m sure left news media is having a field day with this.

All news is treating this like a an attack on democracy. People need to objectively look at what people who have supported the republican party have been told to put up with. They’ve watched cities burn in the name of peaceful protests. The felt their voice was slipping away and wanted to be heard. That is 100% American.

Yes some windows were broken and officers injured (minor injuries with unknown causes) the only true violence was done by a Law Enforcement Agent killing an unarmed woman.

And too keep this in the realm of firearms every picture I’ve seen has had Law Enforcement aiming guns at unarmed people with their fingers ON the trigger

This is all going to get more interesting than I had hoped, as in that old curse, ā€œMay you live in interesting times.ā€

Many people may view the people storming the capital as heroes but I fear the majority of Americans will view this as the same mob rule tactics that Antifa has been getting away with. Often who is right or wrong does not matter in times like these. Authoritarians, be they blue or red leaning, love opportunities like this. If cooler heads do not prevail I fear we will all lose.

Once the video of what happened to that woman gets out, I’m not sure where the country goes from there.

BTW, did law enforcement use live ammo with Antifa? I didn’t think so.

Will patriots get the same treatment?

I’ll reserve my judgement on this. The optics are not good at all. My coworkers have shown me IG posts of folk inside the Capitol building, even a guy at the podium as if he’s gonna give a SOTU address. I saw this BREAKING NEWS earlier and I could not believe it. :pensive:

:point_right:t5: I have more to say but I’ll hold my tongue for now. :zipper_mouth_face:
:loudspeaker: Be safe & :pray:t5: because there will be blowback behind today’s events.

I will refrain from passing judgement on this or any shooting till all the facts are out. I do not envy the position those officers were put in. If the officer was legally defending their self or others then I hope they are exonerated. If they unlawfully shot an innocent person then I hope they receive the appropriate punishment.

My cousin who taught me Tae Kwan Do (was nationally ranked in the PKA in the 70’s is why I never had that problem.) My biological male donor learned not to mess with me after I hit 16.

You guys might be looking at this wrong. Is it possible that, with no one in the public eye acknowledging their role in this, you couldn’t get far enough away

I think that everyone there showed remarkable restraint, whether they were protecting the place, or just showed up for the event. It could have gone a LOT worse. (I am reminded of a lovely quote I discovered on this forum, Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.)

What I don’t get is how the folks who traveled to DC from all over are domestic terrorists on the news, and the folks who lit their own cities on fire are peaceful protestors. How does one argue with delusional people?

None of this smells right. Patriots have been non-violent throughout. I smell a rat in the mix.
