It’s the different treatment from the authorities that is the point. 4 protestors are dead so I suppose something quite crazy was happening inside

All you were seeing was basically the equivalent of breitbart posting random clips which were hard to decipher.
This incident is pretty crazy, but I'm not surprised. There needs to be a peaceful transfer of power and the thing getting in the way of that is Trumps ego. He won't accept he lost.
As for the violence. Well it is disgraceful. I just find it staggering that so many people can deny what antifa and blm were doing but then act as if this is a random thing. There has been violence and division for ages and there is no point in wearing the blinkers. You cannot be outraged at one and not the other.
I think the coming weeks will be interesting for sure.
Oh fuck off.
Can't believe I missed it all kicking off.
Sounds like something from a video game.

Who is they? Was it a factor?Wonder if they’ll bring up the skin colour of the woman who got shot dead.

Sat watching it last night and I was wondering whether COVID causing a shortage of razors in the USA. Nearly every man there seemed to sporting a beard.Two of my favourite parts were this photo which was circulated with credit to Getty Images which resulted in a number of people believing this man was called Via Getty and tagging the FBI
Because of this guy, Jamiroquai was trending on Twitter. Love the thought of Jay Kay's phone pinging non-stop and then he finds out why
The FBI has put out an appeal seeking help in "identifying individuals who are actively instigating violence in Washington DC".
A peaceful BLM protest outside the capital buildings was tear gassed to clear the way for a Trump photo op. Journalists and protesters were shot with rubber bullets. Police cars were driven at protesters.I can argue it never would have happened if the BLM and Antifa stuff had not been so violent. The precedent set by that has normalised violence probably, but the truth is we will never know.
Suspect there will be a few terrorist groups who watched that with interest. If they cope like that when its an event they knew well in advance was happening and could plan for it makes you wonder what would happen if they get taken by surprise.A group basicly just walking in to one of the most secure and import building in America with little to no issue. One with horns on his head....
police clearly overwhelmed with little back up for hours
It's almost worse as it gives his supporters another grievanceTwitter suspend Trump's account for 12 hours. After the horse has bolted??? Imagine he'll be hyper-active when it is unfrozen
I saw one post that claimed Antifa had infiltrated the riot and they would identify each other with MAGA hats worn backwards. They then show a video of rioters breaking in to the building with the hats on the right way round.
I could counter that by saying the BLM protests were infiltrated by right wingers who disguised themselves by cutting off their mullets and not dressing incredibly badly but the grunting would still have given them away.
Any actions taken against Trump over the next few years (and there is a sizeable backlog of cases to address) will be claimed to be politically motivated by his supporters.It's almost worse as it gives his supporters another grievance
Scary, isn't it.the House Republicans still backed Trump in sizeable numbers.
I thought he was an Everton fan for a second
That and how they are playing to the huge numbers of Republican voters who believe there was a fraud of some description. Becomes self-perpetuating as these doubters now validate their viewpoint by saying the President and large numbers of Congress agree with them.Scary, isn't it.
Equally scary how many people still seem to want to believe obvious bullshit. I don't even mean the usual wild lies, I mean the off the scale bullshit.
Curious: do you honestly think black protestors would’ve been allowed to do this and walk away?
Well the woman killed was white wasn't she? I don't think race has anything to do with it. If the black protesters were trump supporters the outcome would be the same.
It wouldn’t have been and you know it. There was not one black person involved in the protestsWell the woman killed was white wasn't she? I don't think race has anything to do with it. If the black protesters were trump supporters the outcome would be the same.
