    Kinda like when teargas is thrown back at the cops by ANTIFA... or when ANTIFA shoots commercial fireworks at the cops... The pendulum indeed swings both ways, apparently.

    One kind of riot is ok, but another is not. So, stop with your cognitive dissonance.

    DC Cops dropped the ball.

    They should have had an overwhelming police presence (already) in place.

    Everybody saw this coming.

    Everybody knew that Trump's supporters would turn violent.

    Trump should be indicted on Federal Charges of inciting a Riot.

    This is what America has come to with a Ridiculous Clown like Trump in the WH.

    We were told those are inhumane earlier this summer when we were trying to stop people from burning down a courthouse -- with people inside. I guess it's time to call in the social workers now.

    I don't think you are able grasp the difference between a violent act on the capitol building, infiltrating it, disrupting a constitutional process, with tear gas, guns drawn, protestors breaching security areas, all which add up to SEDITION, and local rioting.

    FYI, the Capital has its own police force as well as the DC police for assistance.

    We’re officially a banana republic. I suppose they should put off the pro forma session and immediately start the impeachment proceeding. Time to cut the head off this rotting fish.

    ^^^ All True.

    I can't refute a word of it... nor can anyone. I would prefer that we simply create a new movement.... "NO MORE FEDERAL TAXES". It's how the establishment in Rome fell. People decided Rome no longer represented them. Well, here we are.

    This is a federal matter, jurisdiction belongs to USCP. Then there is that First Amendment thingie...

    I'm confused. I thought we were defunding police?

    But what can be done about peaceful protesters exercising their constitutional rights?

    Wait, now we're supposed to stop violent protests? Geesh, ya think somebody woulda told Minneapolis and Portland!!

    But how will the defunded police ever bring him to justice?

    Gosh, had only there been a way to fairly examine the contested election results????

    Just a bunch of IDIOTS (with no respect for the Law).

    I'm not going through all your posts. You supported the left wing mobs and now you condemn the right wing mobs. I'll leave it to you to rationalize that.

    Calling for self-defense on the part of law enforcement or the appropriate use of nonlethal force to enforce the law is not against the rules. The Trumpists cheering on these terrorists, however . . .

    Glad to see that you are expressing full-fledged support for this unconscionable protest.

    Got it.

    Trump encouraged protesters to "go" to the capital.

    Pretty low bar of personal accountability. BTW, all the violence and destruction was not all done by BLM, right wing groups were in there doing the same.
