Some look like Antifa.

I saw a short video of a group breaking in a window at the Capitol. Black hoods, masks, some helmets, a specialized curved shield of some impact resistant plastic (lexan?). These guys weren't just overcome with emotion. They came with a plan and worked as a team.

And you know what? The media is lapping it up and falling all over themselves to paint this as Trump inspired violence.

It seems to be working, too. Conservatives are media-incompetent.

Once the election fraud occurred, all of the supposed preventive machinery, such as the courts, was useless, because of the time factor, technicalities, and the "too hot to handle" factor.

Sometimes the advantage goes to the attacker.

Honestly, I don’t care who started it, it needed to start.

Audit all visitor passes for the day. When Bush was president, Democrat congresswomen and men were giving Code Pink access passes which were used to terrorize Bush Administration officials with red paint and handcuffs among other things.

Why protesters Code Pink stay out of jail
By Daniel Nasaw
BBC News Magazine, Washington

...The men and women of peace activist group Code Pink are well known in Washington DC for loudly disrupting congressional committee hearings and heckling politicians mid-speech. And that is just fine with the authorities...

...Code Pink was founded in 2002 as a grassroots protest group to counter the push by then-President George W Bush for war in Iraq. And among its first actions was singing an anti-war Christmas carol outside then-Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s house in Washington.

Throughout the war in Iraq, the group demonstrated at military recruiting centres, security summits and administration officials’ speeches, and became a fixture, however unwelcome, at congressional hearings on defence matters...

(Updates with five arrested, quote from protester, charges)

WASHINGTON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - An anti-war protester waved blood-colored hands in U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s face at a congressional hearing on Wednesday and shouted “war criminal!”, but was pushed away and detained by police.

“The blood of millions of Iraqis is on your hands!” yelled the protester, Desiree Anita Ali-Fairooz of the Code Pink organization which often disrupts hearings on Capitol Hill with protests against the Iraq war...

...Capitol Police said later five people were arrested, including Ali-Fairooz, who was charged with disorderly conduct and assault on a police officer.

She was also charged with defacing government property for smearing the red paint from her hands on the hallway wall outside the hearing room. The other four protesters faced disorderly conduct charges.
