Over, Congress was secured last night by 5pm our time if memory recalls (edit: and congress returned and actually voted last night as a sign of strength, so the building was more than likely indeed secured)

I wonder if CTV offered up a clarification on the tweet.

I'm not sure what you are getting at here even in his messages for them to go home he really wasn't sincere and was still trying to fire them up by saying the election was stolen

I just saw a very disturbing video that has been taken down.
I happened upon nutcase Randy Quaid’s twitter. He had posted a video of the woman getting shot in the chest.
She was attempting to breach a barricaded door and climbed up to gain ( supposedly better access for entrance) when what I assume was Secret Service shot her from behind the door .
After seeing this video I don’t doubt it was real. Video was taken very close to this woman.

Police were also behind her maybe 6-8feet away-trying to remove the intruders.

Oh, its real. That was the woman who got shot in the neck for continuing to advance after being warned not to by an armed defender. There's 3 or 4 cell phone videos taken within feet of each other. In one version the person seems surprised that the woman was shot. Like what did they think would happen?

Yeah that was real and very sad but also wtf were they thinking doing that, everyone that was interviewed made it sound like it wasn't a big deal that they stormed the capitol even the kid that was interviewed that grabbed the dying lady didn't sound shaken at all and was saying how the police don't care about them.

Maybe they wouldn't have to ask for the public's help in identifying people if they would've detained and arrested people at the scene.

Given the way Twitter works, that's not entirely unheard of. Very often when I'm scrolling through my feed I'll see bonkers tweets from crazy people, usually linked or retweeted by people I follow in a "Holy cow, look at this ridiculous nonsense the other side is posting!" kind of way. It doesn't mean you're actively seeking it out yourself.

Ha I was following a Trending from my mobile twitter home page and FML I saw Randy Quaid? and like a sign that states wet paint, I could not curtail my curiosity.

Oh I know. and we all know Randy Quaid is car crash viewing. we just have to slow down and take a look.

The FBI wouldnt have been there at the time.

Its apparent now that there was NO plan to stop what happened yesterday other than using the Capitol police who, by any measure, were both ill-equipped and under manned to deal with the size of the mob.

The NG, FBI and Park police were called in after it was already too late and the building had been occupied.

The good thing about the FBI taking this whole investigation over is that as they identify and arrest these clowns, they are subject to federal law instead of DC law and as such face a very difficult path to proving innocence, The feds have resources and man power no other law enforcement group can throw at them. Prison time will be served federally as well.....and that is no walk in the park.

this is what happens when you fan the flames and support that kind of behaviour. Radical and dangerous groups will happily latch on.

So facebook and twitter have extended Trumps ban to 14 days....which takes us past the inauguration.

[Robbob]

When the full story behind the national guard comes out it will be interesting. The rumours that Trump not wanting the imagery of military with his supporters should have been vetoed by one of his staffers. The fact it took 3 hours for them to move in is crazy. Shows they weren't even on standby.

I watched the video of the woman being shot and I’m having trouble believing it was justified. She doesn’t appear to be armed or making any kind of aggressive action. Is being part of a mob enough of an excuse to be shot? Do Capitol Police have the authority to shoot to kill without an imminent threat?

She was a deluded MAGA-head so anything is possible, but I hope there is an investigation.

you're right. there was no plan to stop this. The Trumpians in government wanted this exact thing to happen. they were probably mad it wasn't worse.

No surprise that the military was out there in force before the BLM marches, but no preparations were in place for this. to risk a princess bride meme, it's inconceivable this wasn't intentional.

She was part of a violent insurrection and attempted coup/revolution. It was clear domestic terrorism and an act of treason/sedition.

Short of her going full on White House Down, I can't think of any scenario MORE deserving of lethal force.

Realistically there should have been hundreds of arrests and dozens of wounded/killed combatants yesterday.

I think it's Facebook and Instagram at this point. No Twitter ban yet.
