But does anybody CARE about how the panic buttons in Rep. Pressley's office was ripped out? NOPE. No one cares about that, and especially not the GQP, nor about if a Dem had been killed by one of tRump's angry mob on Jan. 6th. I'm not sure that panic button incident with Pressley will ever be investigted. A few months ago, a friend asked me why Dems like Schumer won't talk about the panic button situation? I told her that she'd have to ask Schumer about that

Panic Buttons Torn From Pressley's Congressional Office Ahead of Riot: Chief of Staff.

Panic buttons in the congressional office of Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., were removed, without explanation, some time before a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol last week, according to her chief of staff.

Sarah Groh told The Boston Globe that, during the Jan. 6 riot, she looked for the buttons in the office as she and her colleagues attempted to barricade themselves inside. Pressley's office confirmed Groh's account to NBC10 Boston.

“Every panic button in my office had been torn out — the whole unit,” she told the paper. According to the Globe, Groh had not been been told why the buttons had been removed, though she had used them before.
