Didn't you learn anything from the far more serious Summer Riots? How do explain a Coup that was so poorly attended by government forces.......why did Pelosi refuse Trump's offer of more security?
The riots of the previous summer were not intended to overturn the election or overthrow the government. I believe that the law enforcement community could not, in their wildest imaginations, contemplate America citizens storming the capitol, smashing though barriers, doors, and windows, overwhelming the standing guard force, attempting to lynch the vice president and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. I can remember being transfixed as I watched the violent mob climbing the walls of the capitol, beating LEO's with poles, smashing windows and doors, erecting a gallows... chanting to hang the Vice President... I was sick to my stomach and really saddened by how my country's very future hung by a thread. I think that everyone of those folks who broke through those barriers should have been shot on sight.
