"We live in a country where a 12 year old boy with a toy gun gets shot by police and insurrectionists who lay siege to the US Capitol get a pass."

As I watched the vids, my thought was, why didn't the police stop the mob from entering in the first place? And why weren't the police/ army/ etc in full battle gear? SMH.
As one comment on YT said, "this is better than season 8 of GOT!"
1/ "why didn't the police stop the mob from entering in the first place?" --- There were literally 1,000's of demonstrators
2/ "why weren't the police/ army/ etc in full battle gear" Illegal/not constitutional/something like that to use the Army against US Citizens in the USA (National Guard = OK). Many were in full riot gear. Also Washington DC has strict gun laws so maybe judged to be a lower risk?
... maybe no-one believed that even Trump would not do such a treacherous act ... to incite those who attended his rally to violence.
Below is from today ...
Happy to be corrected if the above is not factual.
“With this pitiful episode, the US is suffering exactly what it has caused in other countries with its aggressive policies,” Venezuela’s foreign ministry said in a statement. “Venezuela hopes these violent events will soon cease and that the US people will finally be able to find a new path towards stability and social justice.”
Bat shit crazy, in fairness.
Welcome to Mogadishu.
^Would be a far fetch to call Trump or his typical supporters skinny's though
Let's be honest here, did we expect anything less? Trump has been on the verge of a nervous breakdown for months.
Bottom line the very laws we have in place are letting us down as we continue to let Trump break those laws and incite violence. He should be handcuffed and taken away for the world to see. This behavior should no longer be tolerated.
He's certainly a strong argument against republics.
Maybe they should downgrade presidential powers and crown Oprah queen or something.
For 4 years we have been laughing at Americans. It was one of the best comedy shows I have ever seen. I guess you could call these final days an encore of an unbelievable performance. The only good thing I can see coming from this is that it was Trumps last act. He put the last nails into his coffin.
The nightmare is over!
He still has 2 weeks to cause havoc.
If it were a movie then it would have to be something like 'Airplane!', and the climactic scene would involve the nuclear button.
Just sayin' like.
As you should. We deserve all the laughs and criticisms as we constantly brag how great we are. Trump was voted into office by a bunch of back woods, uneducated, white trailer trash voters and ignorant "I only vote republican no matter what" folks.
What I hoped our country learned is that voting for the lesser of 2 evils has its consequences.

But bsnub, you are correct, I haven't read an official report of the number of protesters who continued from the Trump save America march onto the Capitol.
