    She's dead. They just randomly shot an unarmed young woman in the torso without warning for trying to take her stolen future back from armed thugs. They are terrorists.

    Clean up you own State House first!

    When this happens in a good number of States, only then roll into the belly of Leviathon with any hope of plowing into dust.

    Some of these guys are caricatures straight out of a leftist wet dream. Agent provocateurs?

      I have seen pictures showing some of these guys being at BLM evetns, allegedly. It seems like the horn head guy would be easy to search, but there is surprisingly little. It is also possible that some of these guys are out of some part of the libertarian movement--some of whom kind of straddle the BLM and Patriot camps. Hornhead would fit in with some of the wierder people at a libertarian party meeting.

      A few of them posed inside the Capitol for pictures and one of them in the front row had a hammer and sickle tattoo on the back of his hand.

      Wait a week or two and count how many people will actually face charges. I'm guessing not many. It's the alphabet boys at work.

    fbc3, true that. Compared to Portland's, Wheeler, or Seattle's Durkan, Trump can spin Antifa into Minute men.

    So much for “power to the people” which the Left normally reveres—-as long as it’s Leftist students storming and occupying college buildings or burning down police stations or taking over city streets.
    And this is just the brief storming and occupation of a government building, not an attack on Fort Sumter (which was actually itself justified) like the MSM is dramatizing it. And it’s not like it’s innocent people’s businesses and private property or anything, that was under continuous assault all summer and autumn long, in Seattle, Portland, NYC, Minneapolis, Madison and elsewhere, by Leftist Dems...

    And honestly, this isn't exactly a riot, let alone sedition or an insurrection or terrorism that the breathless MSM is reporting. All I’m seeing is an angry group of 60 or so outlier yahoos forcing their way into the Federal “temple,” breaking some doors and windows in the process, defiling the High Priests’ thrones by sitting in some people’s sacred chairs, and chanting loudly before leaving. I’m guessing about $10K in damage (and of course the peaceful, flag-carrying, gun-shot victim, shot by trigger-happy cops. Wow, didn't know trespass was a capital offense). This is NOTHING compared to what we saw night after night this past summer.
    What’s causing people to clutch their pearls is that it happened in the holy, sacred, Imperial capital. That shows how far people have come in 240 years toward the religion of Statism and reverence for government.

    With all the security and total surveillance in this country a group of ppl walk in the front door of the Capitol and ‘take over’? Hahaha! Now we get to watch the Tee-Vee actors (media) perform their scripted ‘reaction’. As if this weren’t all planned. Give me a break. PLANNED, all of it. It’s a well-used move from the American How-To-Topple-A-Foreign-Dictator Playbook. You stage an insurrection to justify a heavy-handed liberty-reducing political takeover, then kill the dictator allegedly responsible for the chaos you created. Can we just forget about Covid now, and go on to the next contrived Chicken Little the-sky-is-falling ‘crisis’? Afterall, you never want to let a good ‘crisis’ go to waste, right?
    The unwitting President has fulfilled his role and is no longer useful; he better be watching his back now more than ever.

      It sure could be. This was a foolish move by the people who showed up. I would assume, about 100% assume, there were plenty of drones doing facial recognition. Every person there could easily be arrested for being apart of an insurrection, Fox News was calling it that while it happened, and locked away for the greater good, the communist’s have said they are keeping tabs on everyone who supported Trump.
      These people just gathered to make it that much more easier to know who each one of them are.
      Fools.
      If Trump was smart, at all, at least he should have showed the tally live from where the speech was, and when the senators stood to object, they could have cheered their hearts out. And during the debates they could have cheered their hero’s in the senate. Those senators would have felt so empowered, it could have really been fun to watch.
      Oh well.
