Trump openly incited a riot which placed the Vice-President at risk

...this after Pence defied him on rejecting the election results.

This is open and clear sedition inspired and LED by the president of the United States. In many other countries, this would be considered and responded to by our government as an attempted coup.

“After this we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we’re going to walk down — to the Capitol and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.” Trump said. “We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them — because we will never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.”

This is not a protest, it is a riot and it is aimed at insurrection and storming the capitol like they did in Michigan...they should have shot those sons-of-bitches there and today, these people should be put down like the rabid dogs that they are.

There is no doubt that lethal force would have been deployed against people of color an hour ago.
