1. WTF is the National Guard for again?

[soothsayer]

5. Gassing peaceful protesters

[riversedge]

6. I read they were assigned traffic control yesterday. serious.

[TimeToGo]

71. D.C. doesn't have a National Guard

[PNW-Dem]

76. Can everyone please calm down?

Two good things about today's events:

1) Maybe the threat of white trash supremacists will be taken more seriously now.

2) We are dealing with a bunch of disenfranchised loser idiots. Think of them as this:

[housecat]

77. Love the photo.

By the way, aren't we supposed to have security at the capitol? These morons would have been easy to manage if there was any preparation

[underpants]

2. So sad.

[mr_lebowski]

3. Tear Gas? Water Cannons? Rubber Bullets? No?

Oh, that's right.

White people.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. They have pepper spray cannisters

Should they use grenades?

[mr_lebowski]

28. Are they pepper spraying? Well, that's a good start.

If it starts looking like they may breach the building, time to get more serious.

[getagrip_already]

46. some of the crowd have pepper spray they are using against the police.....

something is gonna blow, but things are pretty lame right now. just the overwhelming numbers will be a problem.

The real issue is the national guard is under federal control in dc. trump won't deploy them.

The capitol police are just that. They aren't an army. They always intended to rely on other forces to back them up.

dc police can't get involved.

hopefully they can hold the lines. The main buildings aren't easy to get into. But the office buildings aren't fortresses.

[Lonestarblue]

63. The first group of police weren't even in riot gear.

The DC police way underestimated the violence planned by this group, and police tried to talk them down. Had these protesters been black, the police would have shot them!

These are domestic terrorists committing insurrection and they need to be arrested and prosecuted.

[dalton99a]

4. Declare a goddamn emergency

[ancianita]

59. NO. That is what Trump wants.

[Livluvgrow]

7. It is disgusting

to see how authorities are trying not to be too rough. They treat the left worse when just standing on a corner or a sidewalk. How about the flash bangs and gas. How about rubber bullets and bean bags. Shouldn't a few of these assholes have their eyes poked out by the bean bag projectile. Why dont we see knees on their necks or boots on their backs. Oh I forgot, they are the white wing.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. "Forget the National Guard. Call the Animal Control!"

15. And the vet with quietus meds.

9. I'd say there is a real concern that the counting of the EC votes will be disrupted.

They should realize that no matter what happens, Trump's presidential term ends on Inauguration Day.

[Bradshaw3]

21. That's what I was wondering

That, and why there is so little protection when they knew there was a good chance of this with orange anus inciting the goons moments earlier.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Are they being disappeared into unmarked cars by uniformed goons? nt

16. I am so fucking angry!

Traitorous White asshole gets to break whatever law they want, without consequences. Just like before the Civil War and through the KKK murdering and getting away with it. I wish they open up machine guns on them but pepper spray is all they will get as they try to violently invade our capitol. Just incredible.

I don’t blame her.

for telling his supporters to storm the Capitol in order for the EC votes not to be counted?
He should be arrested right now.

There's no reason for putting up with this lawlessness. There are people inside right now who did not go through security and could well be carrying. It's outrageous. Just no.

Trumps DOD crony refused to send the National Guard to DC. This is a military coup take over. Enough for impeachment yet? And Cruz et all need to be prosecuted for instigating the treasonous bull shit.

Makes you wonder if this his avenue to declare martial law.

66. Peter Welch is on NPR now in real time

describing what"s happening.

He said that just befote the mob reached the Capitol, security people rushed to Pelosi and one other person (don't recall who) and removed them to a secure location.

They breached Pelosi's office and took over the House floor. Sargeants-at-Arms drew guns. Reports of some shots fired not confirmed. Oh. Just confirmed. A woman carried out ofvthe Capitol on a stretcher, taken to hospital with gunshot wound. Not identified.

NPR saying - Not just a protest. This is a riot intended to stop the process of government.

His answer when Anderson Copper said "we understand that these people are 'aggrieved.'"

They are fucking "aggrieved!!!"

They lost an election & were told to go there & stop a legal proceeding. Goddamn!!!!

69. Mob is on Senate floor rummaging through desks.

Senators and Representatives sheltering in place. Dem Congresswoman from MI on NPR now. Says request sent to Joint Chiefs for armed guardsmen.

She says they will not be able to proceed with vote certification today due to need to secure the Capitol with searches and dogs. She is determined that they will proceed whether tomorrow or next week.

Reports that DC police tried blocking doors with their bodies before the building was breached.

Trump incited this with instructions at rally for mob to go to Capitol. He has refused requests so far to go on media to call a halt to this.

Representatives were hiding under desks and wherever they could when breach occurred.

ME:
THIS IS A VIOLENT, SEDITIOUS COUP ATTEMPT BY TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS TO PREVENT BIDEN FROM BEING CERTIFIED AND INAUGURATED.

Secret Police deployed to Capitol to assist police.

When you consider all of the seriously dangerous scenarios that might have occurred in the last two weeks of this administration from hell, this isn't all that bad. I see a bunch of pathetic people milling around, some doing stupid things to get on camera. Yes, they are terrorists, as is trump, but they have no idea what they are doing. Just sayin

HOWEVER after watching more news coverage it may have served the purpose of awakening a lot of lawmakers from their slumber. And timing was perfect -- same day that we got control of the senate.

Since the second impeachment vote and more photos and information have been pouring out, I need to retract the first paragraph. Many DID know what they were doing, including insiders at the Capitol, and it has become clear that this was a wide conspiracy. it came too close to being a successful terror attack; it seems we got lucky and had some very brave people on our side.
