Default Thoughts on the violence and remaining safe for the next 7 days

If I were the authorities I would put everyone that flew into and out of Washington DC up to a week before and after the terrorist event onto a no fly list just for the next 7 days (the ones who invaded the capital should be permanently banned). I would also do background checks and schedule FBI interviews over the next few weeks for EVERY one of those passengers - even if they had no involvement they may have seen something that could help with the investigation.

I hope law and order catches up with every one of them and that the message is understood that violence can never be tolerated. Our way of life depends upon it. The radicals who have infiltrated ALL the various protest groups need to be weeded out so we can return to some sense of civility.

Meanwhile, I would not travel for the next week and confine my activities to golf, tennis, shopping (with a mask) .. avoiding any public places where large groups of people congregate or where there are landmarks. I trust and believe that the authorities will get it right this time and those terrorist groups will stay home.

Thinking what you suggest is way overkill.

They should have pictures of these people and so far seem to be making progress in identifying and arresting them.

You seem to be advocating a police state and not in favor of that for sure.

Should have locked up the rioters, looters and violent thugs who destroyed the downtowns in many cities all summer long. Except for people like that I am not worried. Just glad I no longer live in any of those cities anymore as I lived in the DC-Baltimore area seven years total where I was in the MD Army national Guard and called up for the riot in the late sixties. I then lived in Rochester, NY thirty months.

gee, perhaps I'm a bit overcautious too. I plan to have us huddled into a corner in our house, away from doors and windows, and only going to the kitchen or bathroom when necessary. Hopefully we'll be safe the next few weeks....

Why in the world are the thugs given the liberty to take over St. Louis, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and many more cities, and now the capital building? No matter what group of criminals they are, they should be stopped!

Glad I have a concealed carry permit. My life will continue as usual unless I am confronted by a crazy from either side of the political spectrum. If that should happen, it may result in a test of the stand your ground laws.

No test of the law............being "confronted" does not give you the right to shoot.

The riots and destruction that went on during the summer were awful and I hope those involved are caught and punished.

That said, the riot and destruction that happened at our Nations Capitol is much worse and I hope those involved get punished severely.
