It’s only been a little over a week since the attack on the Capitol, but as more information comes out it’s abundantly clear that it could have been even worse. Mixed amidst the “Stop the Steal” mob, were people with military and police training and there’s an investigation as to whether some of the insurrectionists had specific plans to detain and assassinate political leaders. Members of the Capitol Police are being investigated, and there are reports that groups of people wearing Trump and MAGA paraphernalia were being given tours the day before the insurrection, despite the Capitol having been shut down for these due to the pandemic. There’s a woman in a pink hat who appears in several videos as being part of the mob, but there’s a particularly chilling one that shows her giving detailed instructions on where to go in the building.
As for What Abouters screaming that this past summer’s BLM protests were worse, I’d like to share these interviews with police officers who came close to losing their lives on January 6th.
One of the objects used to beat Michael Fanone was a THIN BLUE LINE FLAG! Un-flipping-believable! Anyway, lastly, I’d like to share this video of hero cop Eugene Goodman, leading a group away from Senate chambers.
Unlike the insurrectionists who went to Washington D.C. with the intention to overturn a lawful election, these men and women as well as slain police officer Brian Sicknick define patriotism.
All the info I am getting this is not over….far from….the assualt on democracy is just wrong….chuq

Well, D.C. right now looks like it’s preparing for war with all the fencing and troops. By Inauguration Day there’ll be 25,000 National Guardsmen plus another two-three thousand police officers. So much for a peaceful transfer of power.😔

Some bloggers are still insisting that the election was ‘stolen’, and that the protestors were Antifa members ‘pretending’ to be Trump supporters. You can never get through to people who are that stupid.
Best wishes, Pete.

Pingback: Capitol Insurrection – Coalition of the Brave
The language that people use to justify their actions, like patriotism, is as delusional as many of them are. The beaded man in the furry, horned headdress has been classified as MAGA, anitfa, and Qanon. Even the insurrectionists are all over the map about him. Now he wants a pardon from our Narcissist in Chief.

Well said. The patriots are the diplomats and staff who testified under oath about their concerns over this president’s actions or Inspectors General who wrote reports about other concerns knowing they would lose their jobs. Yet, they did it anyway. Plus, they got no air cover and some legislators even denigrated them for daring to question the president’s actions or words. Two of these barking dogs for the president just got Medals of Freedom for abetting his lying. Keith

Trump sycophants Nunes and Jordan no more deserved medals than Limbaugh. He’s made a mockery of the highest civilian honor. It makes me sick.

They don’t support their country, or even their political party. They’ve allowed themselves to be brainwashed into worshiping Trump and have elevated him into a god-like status. It’s absolutely crazy! You know he’s got a huge list of pardons he’s going to give, and I’m afraid he’s going to give some to the insurrectionists.

Kim, apparently there were more than a few unusual tours of the building the day before. Some legislators may, key word may, have some culpability. This is being investigated. I sure hope not, but if so, they can be and will be prosecuted with liability. They do not garner the same protections as the incumbent president. Keith
