    People have the right to protest. Storming a federal building you don't have the right to do and only bad things will happen if you do which was evident in yesterdays actions. The violence could have been avoided though if law enforcement had done their job and prevented the breach which of course they didn't. Poor planning even with the warning signs. I am sure there will be some people out of a job very soon.

    Where else will those poor youths get their office supplies ?

    The National Guard were standing by and ready. But it is hard to justify actions when the president is actively encouraging his supporters to march the street. Its one thing to plan and forseen what would happen. But to take actions that might seem as directly confrontational to protesters requires directions from the president. He can't be telling supporters to march and a few moments later deploy the Guards to control them. Events and circumstances were allowed to play out because there were no other way for it to play out.

    Honestly it was the most shocking obvious predictable thing that DID happened. Everyone knew that chain of even would of happened.

    - Planned protest organized by groups of people that passionately believe their country was stolen.
    - Based the group support of 2A and ratio of percentage within ANY group being radical extremists (majority were not armed, but I'm sure a few were, which is probably also the beliefs of a few LEO in the area so they are more alert).
    - Proud Boys members planning to be there
    - Mob mentality
    - Trump directing their anger at a target
    - Emotion running wild

    With all these facts, who seriously didnt see this coming? We all hope it wouldn't, but is anyone really surprised?

    Definitely a fair assessment. My only disagreement would be that all of this could have occurred outside the Capitol building. How there was lack of security into the building is what surprised me.

    And I believe there were at least two arrests for carrying a handgun without a permit. That being said, I saw lots of "improvised" weapons, flags strapped to a spear, flags strapped to a pitchfork. Pretty sure I saw a hatchet being waved around in one of the live feeds as well.

    Cause most of the racists got their asses handed to them.. and most of this site is racists that hide behind political beliefs. Just my .2 . If those were black people this site would be having a field day. 'Murica.

    I think they will most likely get a raise and paid vacation. They took down Trump and all his supporters by letting the protesters gain access to the capitol.

    This event was worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined.;)
