Yesterday's events were horrific. Those terrorists INSIDE the Capital were unacceptable. I am, however, just as disturbed, if not more so, by the lack of policing AND the lack of arrest that have been made so far.

It's 3 pm Eastern time while I type this and less than 65 people have been arrested for their participation in the malicious attempted take-over of our government. And, afaik, NONE of the ringleaders, or the main culprits have been detained or arrested. Instead, they were allowed to waltz out of there heads held high, laughing and cavorting with their antics.

Am I disturbed? More so than I have been in a long, long time. And still, the Main Ringleader is in the WH with the nuclear football at his disposal, and all his powers. Yes, I am sick today.
