A boom from the Capitol steps sent protesters scurrying back. Stun grenades had begun to rain down on the mob that had laid siege to the U.S. Capitol for nearly three hours.

A man standing on a folding chair on the Capitol lawn raised a middle finger toward the advancing line of police and joined in a chant quickly sweeping the grounds: "Traitors! Traitors! Traitors!"


In a crowd where some carried flags bearing a thin blue line - a pro-police symbol that critics claim also stands for white supremacy and opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement - and shirts adorned with "Blue Lives Matter," a tide of anger and frustration rose as officers pushed them back. Nearly three hours after the building was breached, police cleared the grounds and used batons and chemical munitions to confront the mob.

"You should be on our side," a woman in a Trump 2020 sweatshirt called at them. " 'We the people' means police, too!"


"Is this honoring your oath? Pushing patriots around?" another man yelled as an officer shoved him backward with a baton.

Some promised to return with weapons, ready to fight if necessary. A man repeatedly announced he would be back with his rifle for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

1. Yeah, a week or so ago in Salem OR the dumpers had a dustup with cops, and then the night

before the Capitol assault, dumpers had a BIGLY confrontation with cops at the BLM Plaza.

I’m diggin this trend, I gotta be honest!

4. Welcome to DU

5. That pendulum will swing both ways as this escalates.

They're not going to be treated with kid gloves again after killing a cop, hospitalizing 15 and injuring up to 60 others.

6. Wish the stun grenades, etc., had been used earlier.

7. The far right has never

Been pro cop. That was just a recruiting tool over the summer. Far right terrorists have also targeted cops and have murdered hundreds of them.

8. The police

got played. The right never backed them, they don’t want laws and other telling them what to do. Republican Party just played that , we're the tough guy party, and they fell for it. A lot of those Capitol terrorist have criminal records, and that’s more then a clue.

9. TRUE Patriots LOVE AND HONOR THEIR COUNTRY and defend the people therein.

Ya'al Anon have no love in your hearts.

You Vanilla ISIS folk are not showing ANY HONOR at all by attacking people doing their job and just any random stranger you feel isn't thinking the way YOU DO.

Ya'al Anon don't even KNOW how the US of A is supposed to work as you are interfering with legal processes that though complicated, have been on the books for ages. LEARN TO READ. It helps.

You Vanilla ISIS folk killed a police man. Beating an officer over the head with a fire extinguisher isn't the act of a Patriot. It is the act of a murdering thug.

YOU THINK YOU ARE GOOD BECAUSE YOUR SKIN IS WHITE.

It doesn't matter because the blood on your hands and hate in your heart is what makes you evil.


(Someone else came up with Ya'al Anon and Vanilla ISIS, but I think it's appropriate.)
