That is one hell of a sad disturbing picture

There have been quite a number of very dubious looking flags in the crowd shots. With a green very Germanic looking one in particular that catches the eye.

It's never serious until at least four exclamation marks come out, Gov.

 

:lol: ...and at least one of them is a number 1.

Most of the politicians were actually already in their offices. Doing the socially distanced remote thing. So helped them evacuate safely.

Have a look at his latest ironic rabbit hole tweet reply, to Beto O' Rourke...

Yup.  They are all just playing a role.  No danger does he believe that the election was stolen. 0%

Surely it's time to 25th this arsehole.

 

It could've, should've happened a couple of years ago.  It didn't happen then because he had the backing of the Republican party.  It won't happen now for the same reason.

CNN,

 

'In the US, we call protesting with violence terrorists'

 

Not convinced by that statement although I'd be surprised if an Orange buffoon hadn't said that a few months ago.

Kept seeing that one and had to Google what it was. "Kekistan" flag - an alt-right/4chan thing based on the Nazi kreigsmarine ensign which says it all.

Looks like the protesters are leaving after the Leader asks them.

 

Surely any self respecting anarchist stands by their true beliefs till there is no choice.

Both sides are the same, you see.

 

See if the authorities went steaming in cracking skulls like most of us on this thread would secretly like them to, would there not then be the danger of that mobilising those heavily armed, alt right militias all about the country - ultimately leading to bloodbath and possibly civil war?

 

Simplistic AF I know, but surely it's a concern.

Which secretly we’d all like to see also.

Would be worth it to be honest.

Pence has unfollowed Trump on Twitter, shit just got real. 
 

 

 

  How can you tell?

 

I don't actually use twitter.

The softly, softly approach is indeed very often the most effective approach. It just would be nice to see it fairly applied to all sides.

Putting a strong deterrent line of Police to stop people entering a building is a softly, softly approach.

Not simplistic at all, Gov. Quite well said. They can crack antifa skulls because they know they're not insurrectionist, traitor *****.

 

That's without even getting into the fact that the Venn diagram of these Trump supporting "protesters" and the cops is nearly a perfect circle...

Spot on. Getting it wrong, very wrong before, doesn't mean they got it wrong by getting it right today and potentially diffusing a very violent outbreak. Whilst concerns must be raised how it got as far as it did, I think they got it right today in how it was brought under control. That doesn't make previous approaches any less wrong though.

Might be easy to baton charge them this time. They're standing there in zero degrees weather(probably minus with wind chill) and he's got another hour or something's worth of grievances still to air.

 

Artist's impression of the scene right now:

Hopefully America can sort this out and those animals causing harm are made an example of. A few doors kicked in later tonight or tomorrow when they think they're safe in their beds.
