Guessing the shooter was secret service (edit: assuming VP was back there), which appeared to be the only security taking their jobs seriously yesterday. At least until the national guard was finally released from the nearby staging area - much later that is.
If he was secret service he'll be fine.
I was bored one day and looked it up, those guys have a shocking amount of leeway in regards to shooting, and loads of legal protection.

This from Twitter sent chills down my spine. Plus there are videos showing some cops waving these treasonous thug mob through.

Something really stinks here.

there is definitely something fishy they hspppened. The DC guard was given specific orders to stand down on Jan 5. They could only do anything at orders or Sec Def and Sec Def was not answering calls yesterday. Then there was no plan or efforts to secure the Capitol. Then you have a lack of law enforcement response to an active crime for hours. There’s 15000+ federal and local law enforcement and nothing was mobilized for hours. They could have had a force several thousand strong in tactical gear on the scene in minutes. But again it took hours. Then they don’t even bother to make arrests.

This doesn’t even get into evidence of some law enforcement aiding and abetting the traitors.

I'm going to bed now, but think about this.

If there was a BLM protest coming for the capitol, there would be so many POC dead, you'd think it was the second holocaust.

These cops didn't have any riot gear or anything to help them except their own body weight and 10,000 rednecks rolling over them. I think this was a complete setup.

My blood is boiling right now. This guy has 12 days left. WTF else does he have in his toolbox in order to execute Putin's plans.

He'll be fine regardless. He was protecting the speaker of the house.

i'm not going to disagree with any of that, but the holocaust comparison is going to far, and not at all realistic. How about the Battle of Little Bighorn or the Las Vegas shooting?

piggyback on this a little bit.

anytime you get antifa/blm in the vicinity of white supremacist's and proud boys they ALL fight.

there was NO fighting amongst the protesters yesterday. To proclaim that this was somehow BLMs false flag operation is ridiculous.

Looks like those treasonous a-holes are losing their jobs for what they did.


Navistar, a direct marketing company in Maryland, announced that an employee had been terminated after he was photographed wearing his company ID badge inside the breached Capitol building.

Not the brightest of insurrectionists, perhaps?

You people are nuts. It's obvious all of the protesters were antifa and BLM. Look at all the black folk, trailer trash types, and old white men with scraggly beards. Definitely antifa. The Proud Boys and their ilk stayed home to help stop the spread of the virus. True patriots I'm telling ya

Sounds like the FBI will be paying him a visit sooner or later.

I like her asking, “Why didn’t they arrest him at the Capitol?” I think that is a great question. One that should be investigated with more repercussions for those who botched security so badly this day.

So what was their end game here?

They execute the VP and Speaker and then all of a sudden the country is theirs? Or that now people are sympathetic to their "cause?"

Although if the actions of the capitol police are more pervasive and also within the military ranks, then I guess they could pull off a Gilead.

There really was no strategy here. Trump incited a mob, and pointed that mob at the lawmakers.

No one can really understand the warped mind of Trump. He probably thought a show of force might sway lawmakers or delay the results. This was not some kind of mastermind move. It was a continuing tantrum from a loser, who has the mentality of a spoiled child.

As far as the Mob's goals, they will be varied. Some are just delusional supporters caught up in the moment, that wanted to be part of something. Some were Qanon wackos. Some were paramilitaries carrying hostage kits (yikes!).

I bet most were totally shocked they got inside, and were completely at a loss about what to do once they did get inside.

You know how we often talk about giving young people a pass on the super stupid shit they often times do?


These MAGA's totally gives off that teenage stupid vibe. These people are unable to imagine the consequences of their actions 6 minutes into the future ... Fuck thats some stupid shit.

I keep looking at the pics of the guy in the animal skins, not the one with the horns, but the one with the staff and Fox? head headpiece. In every photo he looks glum. I think he intended suicide by cop and is like “I can’t even get shot storming the capitol, fuck my life.”

He might be the only one with some brains ... with all that I bet he can carry an insanity plea.
