Quote: 'Colossal' breakdown: FBI warning not fully shared before Capitol riot; police lacked training, gear

Literally same shit said when the towers got yeet4d.

Time for patriot act 2: patriots (never) die

    Lmfao they fucking did not. Mfers let it happen. They have enough ordnance and hardware to invade and occupy a small south American country and they want us to belive they just... didn't... on that one day?

        Fucking exactly. They had like, no less than a full standing division of of Army/National Guard at attention on the Capitol steps all summer, for people protesting being fucking murdered but somehow they had a couple wimpy ass cops equipped with nothing more dangerous than a snobby attitude politely asking the trumpists if they'd like to leave please and thank you sir?

        The professional ghouls actually blamed BLM for the lax response.

        Something along the lines of "Our capital police were simply worn down by months of responding to BLM protests, and this left them stretched too thin to adequately respond to a right wing insurrection."

    Lol multiple motherfuckers were predicting this would happen for pocket change on patreon and you're telling me the US federal gov was just left scratching their head over this.

    If they do a second patriot act they better come up with an acronym just as elaborate and dramatic as the original. America wouldn't be America if it didn't distract from human rights abuses with flashy and overbearing theatrics!

    But I guess I would mostly prefer it if they didn't do a second patriot act in the first place.

    It was hard listening to Briahna Joy Gray on her podcast talking about how the capitol riot was actually very concerning without addressing police support and enabling or how it's almost certainly going to be used for shit like this
