    The only confirmed murder was by a cop and we know how that works out in America.

    Secret Service i believe and it was her attempt to barge through a window of sorts to pass a barricade door after multiple warnings.

    To the House Floor. I don't know if it was USSS or Capitol Police, seen mixed reports and the fact that they're wearing suits instead of uniforms is confusing.

    Even a Republican in the room at the time backed up the officer and said he had no choice but to fire.

    They weren't caught off-guard, they knew Trump was going to hold a rally that day and that the vote was going to be certified. The Capitol Police clearly chose not to prepare. Don't defend the scumbags who decided to standby instead of doing their jobs when violence was levied against the heart of our democracy.

    Capitol police needs to be investigated, some of them need to be arrested, and a lot of them need to be fired.

    Republican Congressman thinks yesterday's traitors were a "wonderful group" of peaceful protesters that got carried away.

    Republicans are domestic terrorists.
    A peaceful protest that got carried away to pipebombs, gallows and zip-ties?

    Yeah, sure.

    The contrast to the BLM rally held earlier is too large to ignore and mistakes were clearly made.

    Sargent at arms for both chambers and the head of the Capitol/DC police all need to resign and face a full investigation, along with any other leadership involved even if that's in the Defense Department or White House.

    They let these people take the building.

    More recent claims says that it was an U.S. Capitol Police that shot her while literally breaking and entering and ignoring orders - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ashli-b...ump-supporter/

    The National Guard was also absent; so it may be that they were too thin. Some claim the Guard absence was due to president's orders - although I've heard some wild claims that others didn't want troops that the president could order there.

    Please elaborate.

    Oh?

    What's your take on what happened in DC, just out of curiosity if what the MSM is reporting is inaccurate?

    Looks like some of these guys had plans on taking hostages. Peaceful protest by people who didn't know they couldn't be there, riiiiiiiiiiiight. We better see arrests and federal charges against some of these goons.

    Populists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.

    There were 14,000 arrests this summer at BLM protests. Most let go without charges.

    Be specific. What part of yesterday's events reported by the news should be taken with a grain of salt?
