Thread: Trump Protesters Storm Capitol. DC on lockdown

US Capitol: Police clearing pro-Trump mob from building after rioters stormed halls of Congress - CNNPolitics

CNN

Shortly after 1 p.m. ET hundreds of pro-Trump protesters pushed through barriers set up along the perimeter of the Capitol, where they tussled with officers in full riot gear, some calling the officers "traitors" for doing their jobs. About 90 minutes later, police said demonstrators got into the building and the doors to the House and Senate were being locked. Shortly after, the House floor was evacuated by police.

An armed standoff took place at the House front door as of 3 p.m. ET, and police officers had their guns drawn at someone who was trying to breach it. A Trump supporter was also pictured standing at the Senate dais earlier in the afternoon. A woman is in critical condition after being shot in the chest on the Capitol grounds, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The sources could not provide further details on the circumstances of the shooting. Multiple officers have been injured with at least one transported to the hospital, multiple sources tell CNN.

Now that the right has staged a protest, they will be called terrorists.

Is this the freedom and democracy that the US pushes down our throat? Well done, for proving the Chinese right in the eyes of many.

Unfortunately true, though it's a formality when a powerful ideology restricted by its own values and rigorous scrutiny, clashes with one that exploits the weaknesses of those values, and with no rules of its own beyond whatever it takes to expand.

I would bring out the heavies to take these people down.

This apparently is a Trump protester in nancy pelosi's office. Is it real ? We dont know. Judge for yourself

...RT?...


...trailer park denizen outraged...


...rodent infestation in the capitol...

Deeks, just to clue you in, that is not the Stars and Stripes.

Send in the horses to break up the mob.

Some guy just had his twitter account locked and a video about the situation deleted because it might inspire more violence.

Oh, wait, what...that guy was the president. The president of the US.

Banned him again.

You really need to start carrying around a plant to replace the oxygen you waste.

At what point does Trump get arrested and locked-up and gagged after what he's caused, and what he could clearly cause in the future? Genuine question, because I simply cannot believe what I'm seeing and the universal condemnation of the acts of this complete madman on the various world news channels this morning (including Fox!). Jesus H Christ, this is something you'd expect to see in basket case shitholes like Zimbabwe or Yemen!

Indeed. Glad to see that SOME people "get it". This was not a protest, this was insurrection. Hang them.

There really are two Americas.

And for those that can't quite grasp or believe that white privilege exists take a look, this is what it looks like:



They would have been shot dead going up the stairs had they been black.


Edit: there's video doing the rounds purporting to show the Capital Police opening barriers to let them in.

The woman who was shot during the US Capitol riots was pronounced dead at an area hospital, a spokesperson with the Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to CNN. CNN's Pamela Brown reports.
