They chanted "Hang Mike Pence", they had police zipties, they setup a gallows...

[DSandra]

as well as looking for Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

Anyone not think that they were out to find and execute Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer?

1. I would bet others, too

Kamala Harris, Adam Schiff, and The Squad.

6. This was nothing less than a murderous coup attempt and everyone of these coup participators...

should be charged with an attempt to murder or be an accessory to murder.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes I figured the squad was at risk as well.

In addition to Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer.

The R's have demonized our leaders for decades.
So their lives are in danger.

2. any actual video and audio?

[DSandra]

10. I updated it with a video

[soothsayer]

3. Definitely would have killed any that weren't walking in there with them

[Walleye]

4. That's not a symbolic noose. It's for real

[dutch777]

5. Looks like a threat to a Federal official to me...charge them accordingly.

This kind of crap cannot be allowed cover as free speech.

7. How was this porta gallows built? Who did this, that noose didn't tie itself.

[mopinko]

11. i was wondering that myself.

no doubt they'll catch whoever it is. but you cant just go build shit on the capitol mall.
the cops are supposed to watch for that crap and nip it.

9. They were probably going after VP Pence, Madam Speaker Pelosi, and..

Senator Grassley.

They are the next three in line behind Trump in the line of succession. Leaving Mike Pompeo (a devout Trump loyalist) the next person.

Although...it's not like being on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. You don't move over one chair when the next person comes on or leaves.

But I think they were targeting the line of succession intentionally.

12. I learn so much here

there was a gallows!? Why is this not on the news!?

[DSandra]

15. Whites are treated with kid gloves of course...

I remember when the media was just calling them protestors. It took awhile to call them a mob, and most still haven't called them terrorists.

[padah513]

13. I don't get Pence

Trump whipped his mob into a feeding frenzy and sent them to the Capitol knowing you were there. Then after they broke in, wouldn't allow the Pentagon to send the national guard to save you, and you still don't want to do the 25th Amendment? I would have called for it right after I certified Biden as President.

[tblue37]

14. The article says that after the certification went through, Trump told Pence, "I don't want to be

your friend."

How five-year-old of him!
