watching the events at the Capitol on 3 main news outlets. A woman was shot and died during the protest. Strangely not one mention or video of the Capitol police man that shot her. If this was a black lives riot there would be non stop condeming the police.
So much for biased coverage

If this were a BLM riot they would have been pepper sprayed and riddled with rubber bullets the second they breached the fence. They would not have made the stairs, much less inside the building.

The media has nothing to do with good journalism but biased views and propaganda. When it comes to national reporting, those that twist the truth and make the story fit a view are heralded as great reporters. Many times they do “whatever” it takes to climb the ladder. It really has turned into a joke. It’s a huge act and sensationalism. However I do regret when horrible things happen

This was an incited riot, insurrection, based on narcissism and lies which have been fed to sycophants for years. The Proud Boys had announced they would be marching on the Capitol. The POTUS tweeted his support. "We love you,, You are very special people" Here is a photo from a BLM rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Not something as critical as the Capitol, no VP, Reps, or Senators to protect. No BLM protesters were armed. None said they would be taking back the building. But see how they were greeted by the police? A little different response. And during the Kavenaugh hearings every single woman protester who sat peacefully on the Capitol steps was arrested.

But armed White Boys waving the flag of the traitorous Confederacy.. no riot geared up cops with tanks, No massive deterrent. So yes, the preparation and response to this right wing attack on the Capitol was dealt with as not serious. There was plenty of warning. This attack on the Capitol was announced. The day was promised to be "wild", "stand back but stand by" STOCHASTIC Terrorism. Again When you tell unstable gun nuts to be wild, to defend ME then you are responsible for the violence.

In January 1861, there were reports secessionists would use tactics like today's to stop the electoral count for Abraham Lincoln. Gen. Winfield Scott, commander of the US Army, told Lincoln, "I have given orders that any man who tries to use violence or unparliamentary disorder to interfere be lashed to the muzzle of a 12-pound gun which is fired out a Capitol window. His remains may be used for manure on Potomac estates." We needed a little of that today.

This is everyone's only warning for tonight. Any further political posts WILL result in infractions and revoked posting privileges.

We understand that there is a lot going on in this country right now but this is not the forum to discuss politics.
