Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Feel the same way about her that I did about protestors last summer,,,,consequences.

Yep but since it was a cop shooting you’d think the left would be up in arms about it.

Capitol policed asked for guard assistance 6 times before things got out of hand and were denied each time dues to a concern about "optics". Couple that with trumps glee over the situation makes one thing the white house told the army to stand down. Very sad if that's found to be the case.

Jan 20th will be interesting. I suspect we will see more dead MAGA folks...

Trump's glee??? Really? Get out of here!!!

So you like patriotic people to be killed? Antifa had a big role in that setup. That whole deal was planned. By the left, your buddies.

Funny how you always get it 100% wrong!!!! Fake news rules!!!!

Just some perspectives to think about.

Our media has rediscovered a long lost word. Riot. That word was lost from the dictionary all through the summer of "mostly peaceful protests". It had disappeared so successfully that it seemed it couldn't be used in Scrabble anymore. It's back.

Were any of the other occupations of government buildings and properties, not only in this year but previous years, referred to as insurrections? I ask that because in 2011 the Wisconsin state capitol building was swarmed and occupied for a considerable amount of time as a protest to Act10. That occupation went on for quite a while and required mutual aid law enforcement from around the state. I should know, I was there.

After the occupation order was secured but the drum circle and protesters remained for a good period of time until the decision was arrived at to remove them. They had caused some damage inside the building and it was looking like a dump inside. Eventually there was considerable expense involved in some fix ups that were required.

While the protesters occupied the capitol there were security check points established and everyone had to enter and exit at those points. So on the evening the command was given to move everyone out we started to do this in a systematic and orderly way. The protesters complied for the most part and I don't recall any episodes of officers going hands on or making arrests (but it was a large crowd). The funny thing was we started seeing people back in the building who we knew had been exited. Democrat lawmakers/staffers with first floor offices were pulling these protesters back in through the windows and circumventing the checkpoints and the order to clear the building.

Now I read where this unarmed woman was shot for crawling through a window and I think, huh, I've seen something like that happen once already in my lifetime, but we didn't shoot anyone. Of course, the press weren't calling it an insurrection either, even then. The press didn't point out at the time how the folks were getting back into the building either.

The press is very biased and slanted. Social media is very biased and slanted. The press and social media helped a political party win an election. The press, social media, and a political party are getting ready to become intoxicated with censorship. Winners get to write the history, that's the way it is.
