Beat her? Kidnap her? Rape her? Kill her?
I shudder to think about it.

(30,965 posts)Since she is a small woman that makes her an even better target for these misogynistic bullies. AOC wouldve died a horrible death as well. When you think about it, the security was actually very good that nobody in Congress was hurt

They likely would have desecrated her body after she was dead.

There were thousands in the mob.
Violence and chaos was their aim, per Slob Bannon.

(14,795 posts)If the Speaker were caught by the mob, no security detail with handguns would be enough to stop them in my opinion.
Why didnt the Capitol Police open up when the mob started throwing fire extinguishers at their heads?

(4,845 posts)I doubt they would rape her because of her age and their disgust of her.

(68,456 posts)I was surprised to see older women there... I assumed that it happed to them years ago and they still need support. I was wrong...one woman spoke and said it had been three weeks since the rape (a violent one at that) and she was taking it one day at a time.

(12,956 posts)The goal was to make the certification fail and blocking Pence and Pelosi from attending would have put the certification into uncharted waters.

(14,815 posts)I thought to myself... Jesus... they're capable of just about anything now. I couldn't stop thinking about that. It was the first thing on my mind when I woke up this morning.
Maybe I missed it, but I haven't heard anyone in the media ask my question.

(146,254 posts)Everyone was evacuated from the chamber safely. There's a plan for that, and it worked.
They got nowhere near Nancy Pelosi or any other member of Congress. Even the pages got out, with a couple carrying the actual electoral college vote records. Those were used later to verify the vote and certify the election.
In the end, the insurrection failed to achieve its goals.
There was a plan for that, and it worked.
Aside from that plan, everything was a clustersomething. But, the safety plan for the members worked and the certification of the electoral college vote took place.
That's the end story of all of this.
