    Damn, pipe bomb just found outside the RNC HQ, which is near the capital. Similar suspicious packages left outside the DNC, but they had already evacuated long before the protests had even begun.

    When Hillary lost, conservatives spread pictures of some kids crying about it. I wonder how that will compare to pictures of pipe bombs and fat old men storming the capital?

    But all of this, "The cops are evil because they're not hurting enough people!" stuff is just weird. People are talking about tear gas and rubber bullets, but we already have one confirmed actual shooting. I don't know what people want other than more violence.
    The cops were taking selfies with them...

    When the election was *literally* stolen from gore we didn't storm the capitol. And we had proof. Unlike the republicans.

    This is NOT a peaceful protest. This is domestic terrorism.

    You can think both things are bad.
    Have a reread of my post.
    "I don't think state violence used on peaceful protestors is anything to cheer for."

    I agree with that statement.

    That statement has no business being raised in this particular moment, in regards to this particular terrorist act of sedition.

    That's the problem with your post.

    Edit: If we get more information and it turns out this woman who was shot was shot by a member of the Capitol Police for no reason, sure, I'll agree that it was bad. But it's in the middle of a highly violent event where everyone involved is a law-breaking criminal, and she appears to have been shot in the middle of committing that crime, so I'm gonna err on the side of assuming the shooting, were it by an officer, was legitimate, absent that new information.

    I'm sorry but I disagree, we are well past being worried about "fanning the flames". This is a fascist insurrection on the US government and now is not the time to be worried about coming out TOO strongly against it, you know?

    They wanted the police to do their jobs and prevent the protestors from storming the building, instead of invoking a beauty and the beast song.

    I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences. They have broken their sacred Oath of Office.

    I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion.
    This is the kind of response we need right now. Take notes, Joe Biden.

    The context of the post was in response to someone who was raising concerns about the cheers for violent action by law enforcement. And they brought up BLM as an example.
    I was prefacing my argument by saying how I don't approve of law enforcement violence against peaceful protesters.

    Given the context of the situation, and the entirety of my post, I didn't think I'd have to contextualise which situation I thought was violent and which one I thought was non-violent. Feel free to ask for additional context next time instead of throwing labels around, yes?
    It's not super helpful for discourse.

    I approve of the use of force for traitors attempting to stage a Bud-Lite coup.
    I guess I'm just a bleeding heart liberal who thinks there's a wide spectrum of force that can be applied in a given situation. I think people are too quick to use their guns most of the time.
    That said, I don't know the circumstances of the shooting. News are still breaking. Like Endus already mentioned, my opinion is also subject to change as more information pours in.

    Probably not but painting this situation as just a few bad apples in the Republican party is definitely not going to go anywhere either, though.

    Did you see the pictures?

    They literally had desks and chairs barricading the doors to prevent people from entering and people were trying to break through the glass to force entry.

    What exactly should they have done when violent insurrectionists try to take the Capitol building?

    Then check it out before discussing it?

    If this only takes a simple majority, then democrats can make it happen. They have to at least try.

    At this point there absolutely HAS to be consequences to these actions. It would be unwise for this to be just glossed over as something to be forgotten.

    Whatever the outcome of these specific events will be tonight, the United States of America that everyone alive today knew up to this point is done.

    We cannot pretend that we can just return to normal. What's left of our democracy will slip away unless we actually undertake a significant constitutional reform.

    Electoral, political, law enforcement, gun control etc related reforms.

    The Democratic Party either begins this process now, or this country is gone.

    And Republicans who actually even tangentially still believe in America and democracy need to abandon the party. Start a new one. The RNC as is, must go.
