Interesting picture. This is what Capitol security looked like during BLM protests this summer. One of this things that will bear investigation is who is responsible for the ridiculous under-strength security deployed this time?

It was Trump who wouldn't authorize use of federal security personnel or ARNG according to an article in the Chicago Tribune:

"Capitol complex declared ‘secure’ after violent occupation by Trump supporters; 1 dead, more than a dozen arrested

WASHINGTON — Officials have declared the U.S. Capitol complex “secure” after heavily armed police moved to end a nearly four-hour violent occupation by supporters of President Donald Trump.

An announcement saying “the Capitol is secure” rang out Wednesday evening inside a secure location for officials of the House. Lawmakers applauded..."

It also would appear that the attempted beer hall putsch has failed.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said lawmakers were to resume the counting of electoral votes Wednesday evening after the Capitol was cleared of the pro-Trump occupiers.

"WASHINGTON — A violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and forced lawmakers into hiding, in a stunning attempt to overturn America’s presidential election, undercut the nation’s democracy and keep Democrat Joe Biden from replacing Trump in the White House...

Pelosi says Congress will resume electoral count tonight after US Capitol cleared of pro-Trump mob..."

An excellent no nonsense move by Nancy.

Four hours and not much damage.

I hope you liberals are learning something about protest etiquette.

One scratch on the seat of democracy by crazies seeking its overthrow is an outrageous tragedy. And there was more than one scratch. And there's a woman dead, don't forget. She was filmed bleeding out by her comrade next to her. Think about that one.

We don't need all, just 2/3.

Here's some dope on the 'might be ANTIFA' idea:

To end the day on a lighter note: poor Elizabeth is a victim of police brutality. The officer must not have realized she was participating in a revolution!

Poor Elizabeth better consider herself lucky she wasn't the second woman shot dead participating in the "revolution".

There's Kyle and then the Woman martyr...did she spill blood in the White House ?

I still can't decide which side I'm on.

I'll lay the line on ya' that some use when a minority person gets shot by law enforcement.
"If she had simply obeyed the police she wouldn't have gotten shot"

Quote:

Secret service members and police were telling the woman to get back. She did not listen and they shot her.

This was during an assault on the U.S. Capital building.
