This is astonishing to watch. The crowds are getting bigger by the minute and will continue to do so. Having been to Washington it’s not a big city so I don’t imagine a large police force ready to go. I certainly don’t remember seeing large numbers of them even around public buildings.

If only Americans knew how to riot and their police knew how to police. They should have watched some videos of the miners strike or Poll Tax riots to see how to do it properly.

 

Will never forget seeing them stay within the ropes when they entered the rotunda, it was like a sight seeing tour.

 

This is like an African banana state revolution.

 

Good TV though.

Unbelievable. USA is about 2 steps away from being the next Yugoslavia.. a fundamentally broken country

 

Trump should be charged with sedition / terrorism and thrown in prison

The softly softly approach has not worked and it should have been made clear that anything other than a peaceful demonstration would be met with force

 

The national guard, police etc should have been at full strength and those carrying weapons arrested

 

Look at some of those idiots parading round the building...get everyone of them arrested, charged and jailed

 

This is sheer madness and the US military may be required

 

The Republican leadership are equally as responsible as the idiot Trump for this

 

You have idiots wandering around Atlanta as well fully armed (as local laws allow)...madness

CNN genuinely cutting away from this to show some shite about whiskey?!

 

I hate the CNN version we get, just put the U.S one on ffs.

The vast majority of protestors don't have weapons going by the pictures. Should not be too hard to clear them with numbers peacefully.

This reminds me of when Caucescu had lost control and called in the loyal miners unions from rural areas to support him. But instead of hard miners in full work clothing it’s half wits in baseball caps and MAGA t shirts.

It’s scary that they weren’t prepared for this considering how many layers of law enforcement they have.

Fake news. I just heard a caller on BBC News say that the mood was jovial.

Sounds like at least one person has been shot.

Saw a mention of a bloodied woman being taken away on a stretcher.

That scum bag needs removed Immediately.  He has incited those morons and is just as responsible.  Surely they can just literally remove him from the Whitehouse ?  If not then why arent the police / national guard getting right into that mob ?

Would he have been advised to send this Tweet out as a possible defense in future?

He’s been promoting today for quite some time on Twitter as you say. Often deliberately not saying what what was planned and hiding things behind other meetings and saying it would be a historic day.

I also just told Robert Reich to **** off when he tried to blame this on Putin.


The world's gone completely mad.
