28. It All Goes Back To That One Security Guard
Wed Jan 13, 2021, 06:24 PM
Jan 2021

The rioters had a clear path to the occupied Senate chamber with an unlocked door. The quick thinking security guard shoved the lead protester to make himself the focus of the rioters. It worked as he retreated up a couple flights of stairs where he shoved the rioter once again for one more retreat where he was joined by reinforcements who turned the tables. An insider unlocked the door giving the rioters a direct shot at the Senators and possibly VP Pence. And one quick thinking security guard foiled the whole operation while risking his own life. The nation owes him a debt of gratitude.
