Trump should be on his way to the capitol building to calm shit down. Everyone would stop and listen to him, no?

Does anyone disagree that he should do that?

Now, why in the world would he do that when he's been rousing the rabble for the past month?

Who is paying them to invade the Senate?

Yes, he should do that.

Now - the one good thing that could come out of this - now we are hearing people talk about how we need to unite. This may co e as a surprise to some, but that's all the Right have been asking for. We've asked for it for 4 fucking years. What we got was constant, seething hate, spewed not just at Trump, but also at anyone who supported him.

Want to see this end? Stop the hate the democrat/left spews.

He is probably leading the charge.

If the new procedure to follow whenever we don't like confederate statues, police responses and election results is to throw out the rule of law and take to the streets, we don't deserve a government.

Well, that sounds very jazzy, but the truth is, when people take to the streets is exactly when we need government. These feckin idiots won't prevail.

They always do and they always will.

Fish and civilizations rot from the head down.

I warned you this was coming.

LOL this is an amateur protest (whining as sore losers) that'll lead to nothing other than an increase in cops around the Capitol when I go for a run there.

[Aqua Letifer]

Police are reporting that someone was shot inside the Capitol. No other details yet.

Which feckin idiots are you talking about, the ones taking to the streets, or the ones running the government whose poor leadership and downright stupidity sent these people out into the streets to start with...

So fucked up.

Be better.

Sounds like it was a woman.

VA's calling out the national guard.

[LuFins Dad]

I’m hearing two people shot. One in the chest and one in the neck...

[Catseye3]

And I just redd "multiple people stabbed", but it linked to WaPo, which I can't get.

[Loki]

Ok. Wounding and killing people is really really bad.

[AndyD]

Wow just wow. Where is the armed security? Try that with the Houses of Parliament here and see the armed response. WTF?

[Copper]

Anybody have any idea of who shot/stabbed whom?

1. It's often the M.O. of the Capitol Police to take it easy with use of force, and there are many reasons for this. One of which is, they know these fucks check their phones. They see and hear some edited bullshit on Parler or whatever the fuck they use, and in a separate corner of the mob, they might try to breach barricades and the whole thing becomes a real shitshow. It's easier to act as hall monitor for trespassers than fight a mob.
2. The police captains are probably keenly aware of how police like to be portrayed during demonstrations in the media. You can definitely thank the liberals for the soft response, at least in part.

[LuFins Dad]

I think terrorism charges are appropriate.
