Correct, but there was a core group there that knew exactly what they doing. They planned their routes to avoid detection, went through five different entrances, and got within one door of entering the house chambers.
In the Neck actually.
In the arrests made guns and pipe bombs were recovered. The crowd smashing in the external windows and doors should have been met with a fusillade of shots.
If it was a black crowd you can be sure that is what would have happened. Itâs a miracle how it worked out with so few casualties.
I always assumed that was one of those buildings that as soon as you even considered storming it youâd have been arrested or shot or both.
He shouldnât be. He was carrying out his duty. He was protecting those inside from a clear and present danger.
She may have been misguided and mentally ill, but she was attacking a citadel protected by armed forces.
She had her warning.
What on earth kind of a line of justification is this???
You watch too much American telly mate.
Doesnât make it untrue.
It is a stupid soundbite used by redneck conservative Americans to justify often horrendous acts of violence, which, like too many Americanisms is being parroted by dopes elsewhere.
Mid Atlanticism at its finest.

You would think so. They had the numbers though so were able to overwhelm the Capitol cops quickly. A mix of the cops thinking I canât believe these lads are attacking us, arenât they are on our side, and a lot of the cops would be Trump supporters. It also escalated really quickly.
Simpletons can be dangerous too. Waiting around for a shrink to arrive so they can talk childhood issues may not always be the most prudent course of action in these scenarios.

Not at all. Youâre emotional over this, and thatâs fair. Iâm observing a situation where a woman was part of a mob some of whom were tooled to inflict damage and violence on democratically elected representatives. These representatives were unarmed. The officer was doing his duty, and can argue he used whatever force necessary to do so. That woman had no right to be smashing in a door/window in that building.
She or her family can have no complaints.
I donât know this for a fact, but Iâm pretty sure the core group were vets. The woman who was shot was 12 year Air Force with four tours in the Middle East, she didnât fly from San Diego to Washington to take a selfie. Thereâs a lot of angry PTSD vets out there, and a lot of them would be pro Trump.
Iâll leave it at this.
When youâre on the same side of an argument as simpletons like @POTUS, you need to step away for a bit

Thatâd be you then. Shoot first, ask questions later.
A fair number of the House members would be packing heat. The lads from the south anyway. Old habits die hard.
They werenât after those members
Correct.
Oh Dear,
@flattythehurdler now seems to have been radicalised by the radical left along with @myboyblue and @Lazarus
We worry about you guys. Turn off the CNN and re-join the real world.
AOC or Pelosi wouldnât have survived an encounter with elements of that mob.
Goodnight lads.
