    Yeah, I jumped into a matt stream and it was still just excuses about how the cops let it happen.

    Motherfucker these people were fully prepared to take the US congress hostage.

      Except they weren't, if they had been, then they would have. The doors were opened wide for them, and they were practically ushered in. The cops were practically offering them gasoline and matches to burn the place down. The only reason nothing more has happened is because they didn't really want it.

        A woman got shot and died trying to break down the door.

          Again, if they had been fully prepared, she would not have been the only person trying it, and there would have been people protecting the battering ram. She had a half brained idea, and I don't know what else she thought would happen.

          You're absolutely right about how lenient the police/whoever is defending the capitol building has been with the fascists. But take a look, the defense of the congressional chambers was so thin, if there had been the smallest modicum of actual desire to break in there, they would have pretty easily. But nobody opened fire except for the cop that blasted that woman. So no, these folks weren't prepared, and it doesn't really look like they had any real desire to do much more than shit their pants in the streets

        I honestly don't understand how much has to go wrong and how fucked up things have to get for people on here to realize that the opportunity for the left is here. Now.

          The left doesn't have the fucking capability of storming the Capital, dude. The CHUDs were fucking escorted in. Cops would mow leftists down without blinking
