curfew in DC from 6pm til tomorrow evening

I have yet to see footage of anyone actively trying to stop them, beyond gently pushing back before they got into the building.

fucking teargas in the rotunda

The footage of these men just walking into the capitol is mind-boggling. The should be zip-tied on the ground.

No longer a 'protest'... straight up sedition.

Saw someone post that capital should be cleaned out, congress reconvened, and Trump should be impeached again and removed tonight.

Ayo where's all that military-grade urban police/riot tanks that DCP likes to flex?

holy shit incredible scenes

apparently a Very Important Person at Very Important Firm client of mine just ended a weekly teleconference meeting:
“felt uncomfortable going forward. Abruptly ended it and said to pray”

she went to the inauguration in 2016, all the fanciest parties, full-on MAGA.
Stew in it, you ulcerated asshole.

Looking at the exterior shots, this isn't that big a crowd. Police had no problem clearing much larger crowds during the summer protests. Funny that.

Well, to be fair, those protests weren't violent.

Guns drawn in the chamber.

You really just need one or two capitol cops to let this kind of thing of happen.

What

Pelosi requested national guards, "troops on the way."

Right.

Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!

How many billions have been spent on anti-terrorism for this kind of stuff to never happen?

God anglophonia loves the word coup.

qft

this sure looks like a fucking coup to me

I heard an officer say “shots fired.”

So every time a republican incumbent is unseated going forward we're going to get ring wing terrorists literally shooting up the US CAPITOL BUILDING in "protest. This country is finished.

VHS: can’t blame them this time around tbh.

how tf is this going to be stopped on inauguration day if the Capitol Police are this weak? granted i know more than just Capitol Police will be there but jesus christ.

Either the Capitol Police were unprepared, are incompetent, or they have moles. Or all three.
