Don't listen to The Patriot channel on Sirius. The radio hosts and the people that call in are scary as ####. They are ready to burn the country down.

Tear gas or pepper-based agents? Big difference apparently.

Somebody has made a serious tactical mistake with respect to protecting the perimeter of the Capitol building. Non-lethal methods for use of force only work at close range on lone or few individuals (Tasers), or at longer range in open areas with larger groups of individuals (e.g. tear gas and rubber bullets).



Letting the mob get that close seriously limits the options the police have, leaving them mostly to use lethal force.



In short, what the hell are they doing?

lol "protesters" storm capital on NBC news is the headline.

You mean rioters and revolutionaries. ####ing news afraid to call a spade a spade.

EDIT: It's worse, the headline is "Protestors enter Capitol Building". It's like NBC is in full denial about what is happening.

Well the protesters are mostly white, so the police don't have any options.

Nazi flags openly flying on the US Capitol while a sitting Congresswoman publicly invokes Hitler.

My relatives who rest in Normandy are turning over in their graves.

CNN is saying that protesters are inside the Capitol building. This will surely get ugly and people will be shot and killed. Crazy stuff.

Yup. Saw a lot of protestors marching, and at the rally.

People threatening violence and rushing buildings are not protestors, to refute the results of a democratic election, are not protestors.

I'm not in favour of lethal force but how is a coup/revolution NOT call for lethal force? Like WTF?

Trump should honestly be arrested for inciting this.

Welp. I guess all those 2nd Amendment Lunatics that I relentlessly mocked had a point.

Not the point anyone else had in mind, but a point nonetheless.

And now here we are.

Based on what I'm hearing of the state of play inside the building itself, people should already have been shot down.



No reports of gunfire yet though.
