Can't wait for all of these video clips to be used in the next election cycle to show you "Biden's America".

At least they'll be wearing masks for once.

So the bum rush of the Capitol buildings is kinda crazy, but have they actually gotten inside or done any real harm?

It doesn't look super serious to me, they're just making fools of themselves.

Reading the replies seem to indicate that some believe they are Antifa infiltrators, while others see patriots. It is so hard to discern nowadays.

Dont any of these people have jobs?

Who has the time to storm Capitol Hill on an innocuous and unremarkable Wednesday afternoon in January?

Or are these people on their lunch breaks?

DC is pretty well set up and equipped to handle stuff like this. I doubt the protesters can do too much damage.

Good point. Wonder if they are paid protestors, or how many are paid protestors.

Anytime you see someone fighting the police, it isn’t right.

Well, since they are mostly blue collar and non-college, and Covid has essentially ended service industry and gig jobs...

..no?

Just being there fighting with police and making threats about this is doing more than enough damage.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these people quit their jobs to do this.

On CNN they're saying that tear gas is starting to be deployed on some of the protesters climbing on the Capitol.

Exactly what Trump wanted. Get them stirred up during a speech, tell them he's going with them to the Capitol, then instead go back to the WH and watch it all unfold on TV.
