I approve of the actions of the protesters at the Capitol that day, just as much as you approve of the MONTHS of violence and destruction over George Floyd that the Left and the Media tried to pass off as "mostly peaceful".

Well 150 Law Enforcement Officers were injured trying to prevent the “ peaceful demonstrators “ gathered in Lafayette Park trying to storm the White House.

Not one of the protestors entering the Capitol was in possession of a firearm. The Capitol POlice had firearms , including automatic weapons.

Sad.
Are you so riddled with TDS that you blame president Trump for any and everything?
Are you that blinded to know Trump does not hire nor even have the responsibility for the capitol police?

Let see if you come back to acknowledge such.

Thats a GOOD THING though...Govt is supposed to fear the people to some extent, that would apply to those who protect Govt by default...


"from time to time the tree of liberty needs to be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants".


People act like we are living in a different world now or something. LOL This is STILL America, the founding principles very much still apply today


My 2nd Amendment rights ensure I can defend myself AGAINST the Govt if necessary.

You should watch his bodycam footage, if you have the testicular fortitude - which I beg leave to doubt.

One criminal gleefully yelling "We got one!" as he's tackled, held down and tased, beaten with a flagpole, screams in agony and pleads with the mob that he has kids.

Oh geez, the horror of it all!!


'Govt needs to fear the people for freedom and liberty to triumph'!


Safety was NEVER guaranteed in this country, freedom/liberty are!


Look at this way...how low this country has sunk, to the point where 'elected officials' must be protected from the people! What does that tell you? (that they need protection from the general public?) LOL

The country has sunk very low when our Capitol is attacked to stop the election results. And I would think Pence would be protected from the people who had gallows set up for him and called for his hanging. This was not the general public taking a stroll. What this tells me is that we have domestic terrorists.

That the general public has a non-negligible percentage of crazies and crackpots, and that this country is incredibly efficient in seeing to it that crazies and crackpots can be very, very well-armed.
