    So the FBI is going bow leg and blind to arrest anyone and everyone involved in last weeks "riot"...however, they sat on their hands all summer long while city after city was destroyed? Now they are worried and putting us on alert for next week for every state capitol....All I can say is, the south tried to break away once upon a time... lol! anyways, does anybody freaking work anymore? geez, all this time spent protesting BLM, Pro trump, etc... I can't afford to go to do DC or anywhere else. I got to raise two boys by myself and work everyday, just sayin

    The news isn't news anymore. It's fear and supposition. There likely will be protests this weekend, maybe even some armed...it is also becoming less uncommon.

    Those who (illegally) entered the capitol, assaulted cops or who vandalized will likely be charged.

    Consistent application of the law is all I can ask for... With out it, is anarchy.

    Why work when you can get more money on welfare.... not to mention other “free” stuff that isn’t free. I’m surprised that they haven’t figured out that all of this isn’t going away any time soon, unfortunately it is only going to get worse.

    Good. I wonder why I never heard about it? But there were thousands that destroyed government property across the South, statues mainly. Seemed like many of those folks never were brought in.

    Few cams near statues, as many are in parks or plazas with little else to protect

    Perhaps some were smart enough not to live-stream themselves and like above fewer cameras.

    Also, 500+ were arrested in Portland, what happens to those after arrested I do not know.

    132 is the number I can find from Minneapolis, which seems kind of light.

    Around the country, many of the local prosecutors are sympathetic to the people rioting and burning this past year, and as a result, have let them off very lightly.

    99.9% of military personnel believe in the Constitution. That being said, there is no way we would know if they did believe in the storming of the Capitol. They wouldnt refuse to sign that document.

    You don't storm the capital, you just don't. I don't blame Trump I blame idiots, I hope you get pepper sprayed and your ass kicked.

    I agree 100%. Trump supporter or not, that is a federal violation and I do not condone it. Yes, I am republican, yes I voted for Trump twice, yes I and conservative and yes, my ancestors fought for VA and SC in the war of northern aggression..:biggrin: all jokes aside, it was the most idiotic thing I have seen in my 45 years.

    The preparation to defend the Capitol was pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. This is what happens when people are worried about symbolism versus pragmatism. You play politics and try to slant the hard truths instead of playing real life and this is what happens.

    You can't blame the Capital police for utter dipshitedness displayed by the stormers there was a time when you just didn't do stupid **** like that. I would not have been offended if they were shot.

    I can blame the lack of preparation. It was evident. Not the officers, the brass.

    Im just laughing at the irony...People tore down and defaced every confederate statue in Richmond over the summer. That was government property. People tore up private property in every major city and defaced police stations, again government property..But, aside from FOX, every other news station played it down and there was very little in the way of stopping it..Look at Portland..they took over a good portion of that city! That was treason folks!!!

    I blame the left FIRST they set this in motion after George Floyed with condoning violent riots ALL summer.
    I blame every judge that refused to look over evidence given ,BEFORE deciding to dismiss or not.
    I blame the Trump engine and GOP for pushing the Trump rally.
    I blame Trump for not speaking out sooner or seeing a possible issue arising.

    I Finally blame each individual that stepped off the road ,side walk, green grass and touched that building.

    This said:
    EVERY SINGLE BAD ACT THAT COMES NEXT, FALLS DIRECTLY ON PELOSI, BIDEN, AND EVERY REPUBLICAN THAT VOTES TO IMPEACH.
