Why did the cops not already have riot gear on? They are putting it on now, but I’d say that’s a bit late. Failure of readiness by the capital police and D.C. police.

The thing is the protestor would never accept any result that contradicts there believes. Even if every person had to vote in public with all votes visible they would cry fool play. Pretty scary to see how easily people can be manipulated by someone like Trump.
At least they are peaceful, instead destroying stuff or setting things on fire. Could be much, much worse.

I’m still in awe this is even happening. They look like cult fanatics and of course, cops are useless and with that just leaving pretty clear they give preferential treatment for nefarious reasons.

They’re gonna have to use force to remove these people.
Well so much for hoping that things wouldn’t get worse.
Watching a live stream right now and at least the people at stairs seem to be peaceful. Mind you, I’m absolutely against what they did.
Guns are out from both sides.
I hope nobody dies or gets hurt.
This is just disgraceful. Reminds me of what happened in Berlin when some “concerned citizens” tried to storm the Bundestage. A loud minority who thinks they speak for the majority.
How credible is that guy?
The Internet is probably going crazy with rumors.
Wtf is this shit? Is this the kraken?
In a livestream I’ve just heard some people talking about how a women got shoot. Supposedly they were inside and tried to break into a room. Didn’t got the details. Please take this with a grain of salt.
This is just crazy.
Kinda wish 47 had just stepped back and let the Vice President and Mark Parchezzi III do their thing, tbh…

I hope she’s alive and will recover.
I may not like the protestors and loath what they did, but I don’t want anyone to die.
It’s time to start cheering for the police again!!
My mistake. I assumed it was the same women I mentioned earlier, who seemed to have a been a protestor.
But you’re right, nothing has been confirmed yet.
This is insane!
The governor of Virginia is now sending the VA National Guard and state troopers to DC because the DoD won’t deploy anyone.

This is an insurrection. Put it down.
