“No indication of smoke, no indication of irritants in the air.”

 

THEY HAVE LITERALLY VIOLENTLY STORMED THE US CAPITOL AND POLICE HAVEN'T BEEN MINDED TO USE TEAR GAS

 

They were launching it directly into people's faces as simply marched down the street over the summer, or gathered in prayer vigils in parks.

 

If you don't get it yet, hopefully this helps.

 

If these people were Black, there would be no hesitation from the police.  There would be dead bodies on the steps of the Capitol.

I doubt this is real but I for one need the comic relief in between the shots of bourbon I'm pounding MURRICA

Minus the guns this could very well happen at Holyrood if some folk don't get their way in the coming years

:rofl:

Referring to posters on the Covid19 thread.

Woman in critical condition after being shot in the chest.

 

That'll be the woman in the footage.

Have to say I'm surprised she is still alive.

 

Horrible video.

She was getting CPR so not looking good at all.

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. 

 

Ceaucescu was killed by ordinary people.

Trump could stop this right now by going in front of a camera and telling HIS supporters to stop.

 

Camera's are there in the WH press briefing room set up ready to go.

 

The fact that Trump is doing nothing to stop this makes him culpable.

WARNING: DISTURBING VIDEO

 

 

About 7 seconds in it looks like someone lowering their rifle. I'd imagine it would have to be a member of the police with a gun of that type in such a location.  There is no suggestion that that was the gun which was fired, but it would be odd for a policemen to lower their gun immediately after a shot was fired, unless that was the person who fired it.

It's been reported that the woman shot was a Trump supporter storming the Capitol.

 

 

Seems fairly certain she was from the video of the incident. She is draped in the flag.

Definitely seems to be escalating. God knows what'll happen when they try to enforce the curfew. 

 

Looks calmer outside and ABC reporting a lot of protestors have left.

 

Could be wrong and little known about inside building.

Watching this guys take on it - he's an ex-SWAT guy who frequently gives his take on police shootings and things of that ilk. He's just mentioned that his sister, who is a DC cop, just told him that the DC police have called in every single off-duty cop immediately. They are calling in everyone. This will get messy. If they think these cretins will just go home at 6PM then they are sadly mistaken.

According to CNN Trump’s pretend girlfriend Ivanka tweeted calling the protestors patriots. Then deleted it very quickly. Not quick enough though.

America's shame!  Racism is now glaringly obvious.  A white mob attacks the Capitol and the Capitol police, and the DC police, and the National Guard stand idly by.

 

Remember when Black protesters were in a park that Trump wanted to walk through to get a photo op at a church?  Tear gas and batons were used to clear them out.

Clear as day.

 

But you know, the BLM protesters did some graffiti...so that's worse.

Mike Pence tweet telling people to leave the building, calling it an attack which will not be tolerated.

 

Meanwhile Trump opens up another packet of popcorn.

Big questions about just letting this happen
