I do not condone the violence or illegal entry of the House and Senate buildings we saw yesterday. As for protesting in the Capital what group hasn’t protested there?
My question, were these protesters, in the article, who illegally stormed the Senate building Terrorists? Patriots?
When Congress members are forced out of session to hide, barricade and evacuated from uninvited individuals (many angry and yelling threats) storming the building after being directed by the President of the United States and co-conspirators (instigators)...
It's a makeshift coup and they will be viewed by most of America as Domestic Terrorists...not Patriots except to the minority of America that believes in conspiracy theories about the U.S. Presidential elections, Georgia Run-off Elections and Covid-19.
People died yesterday from medical emergencies and a veteran was killed by Police to enforce the seriousness of the threat (terror) and many others with baseball bats...some were armed with makeshift weapons and a few found in other areas near the Capitol with guns / bombs.
There's going to be a lot of firings, resignations and arrests. Resignations starting from the leadership and arrests working from bottom to up.
Just as sad, America has lost its world leadership in Democracy and the current situation being exploited by countries like Iran, North Korea (haven't heard any info about Russia but they must be happy and eating popcorn right now while knowing its the beginning / not the ending) about the failures of Democracy.
That's a critical issue going forward in many foreign policies and negotiations.
Simply, expect more fallout because America isn't too forgiving of leadership behaving as traitors especially those that incite violence towards our Congress.
On another note, you mention a few hundred arrests although there's video evidence / facial recognition experts saying +1700 and eye witnesses identified those involved. Simply, there's going to be more arrests and new legislature the coming weeks to prevent something like this from happening again especially with a deranged President not willing to have a peaceful transition of power.
Personally, Cruz and Hawley should be
expelled and at the minimum...
censored in Congress. During the Civil War...they would have already been taken out back and shot.
P.S. Social media temporary disabling the POTUS accounts but is a slap in the face via the that it should just be
banned until the new administration takes over those accounts.
It should have been done early in the Pandemic when all the misinformation / disinformation began.
