The Protest Thread

[simple schoolboy]

Rioting is just the voice of the voiceless. I'm sure the Capitol is well insured.

This is crazy. It feels like the end of Democracy.

This is like a movie where all these groups just show up without any rhyme or reason

Do these guys just live in Baltimore? They seem to make it to a good number of protests.

Well, Lauren Boebert turned out to be completely useless.

... I really hope she's not the woman who got shot.

Yea and all because their candidate lost an election.

On the lawn, that lone chicken and beef tent that is still open must be making a killing.

The Army of Northern Virginia is storming the capitol. Only 156 or so years behind schedule.

[The Argonaut]

The Army activated the entire D.C. National Guard, 1,100 troops, an Army official said Wednesday, and Virginia’s governor dispatched members of the Virginia Guard along with 200 Virginia State Troopers to quell the violence in the nation’s capital.

The troops are being sent to the D.C. Armory, to be deployed to the Capitol and to other points around Washington.

The decision, by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, comes as pro-Trump protesters have overwhelmed Capitol Police and prompted a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in Washington.

Pentagon officials have been loathe to have uniformed National Guard units deploy to the Capitol, preferring to put the Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police out in front, to avoid the specter of a military battling election protests. But the tense standoff at the Capitol, and the breach of police lines by Trump supporters, led to the decision, officials said.

These people are so stupid. They’re posting pictures of their crimes on social media. They’ll probably get pardons.

Why were they let in? Those are bullet proof doors.

You really think Team Trump can ID them and pardon them in the time remaining?

Blanket pardons worked for draft dodgers.

Oh no. A broad pardon.

seeing the video is chilling, and realizing it's not from a movie.
