I was not sarcastically trying to point out that if it were leftist protestors then people on that side would be trying to play it down.

moonraker Posted 6 January, 2021 Share Posted 6 January, 2021 Trump caused this, inciting violence and disorder. Anyone with a belief in democracy must condemn this perversion in the strongest terms, this is not about what side of the political divide one is on it is about mob rule. I hope the US courts are severe on all those convicted of partaking in this blatantly unlawful act. For this to be happening in the US should be of concern to everyone in the free world.

I think we've become spoiled as a generation. Whether you're of a liberal or conservative persuasion, there seem to be a growing number of bad losers out there who just can't accept they haven't got what they wanted. People who assume a default position of victimhood and seek nothing but confirmation bias thereafter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their deployment is down to the Dept of Defence. The security today was local DC police and a few unarmed Capitol guards more used to checking bags.
