People breaking through barricades
Members of Congress evacuated
Six policemen injured
DNC headquarters attacked
January 6? Nope
November 15.
Anti-Israel protesters stormed DC last night
"Violent and illegal protests"Protestors clashed with police outside of the Democratic National headquarters as pro-Palestine groups flooded the front facility and violence erupted.
Officers have already made at least one arrest for assault on an officer after 150 activists surged towards the Washington, DC, building on Wednesday night.
The incident left six police officers injured from cuts, pepper spray and being punched.
Protesters assembled to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, but the gathering quickly turned into chaos. Shocking footage from the scene shows police attempting to drag protesters away from the entrance to the DNC building as they chant 'let Gaza live.'
One woman can be seen repeatedly screaming: 'F*** you b****' at an officer who is trying to order her back as protesters surge towards the building.
The Capitol Police urged the public to avoid the area amid the 'violent and illegal' protests.
'Tonight 6 officers were treated for injuries – ranging from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched. One person has been arrested for assault on an officer,' the Capitol police stated.Pepper sprayed, you say.
Congressmen were evacuated
This all sounds a lot like Jan 6.By 8.40pm several roads had been closed as cops worked to subdue the crowds occupying the area outside the headquarters on South Capitol Street.
Rep. Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, said he was among those to be evacuated after protesters 'grew violent, pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building'.
'Thankful to the police officers who stopped them and for helping me and my colleagues get out safely,' he added in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.
I am on Capitol Hill right now and it’s on lockdown. No getting in or out of our offices. We have officers that were pepper sprayed by pro-Hamas protestors with a lot of people attempting to break into the Democratic HQ. Anyone else notice how violent the so-called “ceasefire”… pic.twitter.com/UbtMmLe7Ei

And it's not the first time. Last month:

It was DNC headquarters, not the Capitol. The DOJ doesn’t have jurisdiction. D.C. does.
Two standards. The pro-Dim violence is allowed. But an anti-Dim protest is treated like an “insurrection”.
I thought I heard on CBS morning this:
1)DNC guy called this a “demonstration”.
2) CBS said only ONE person arrested???How can this be, there were 50 lawbreakers.
3) They put a young White girl on who was part of this illegal riot who blamed the police for pepper spraying the very aggressive rioters who were fighting the police.
4) The CBS report before this hit was interviewing the leader of Hamas who said their unprovoked barbaric attacks were in retaliationg?? HIH, the CBS gal never blinked an eye trying to make Hamas look good.
This pro hamas propaganda is way off the charts, I don’t recognize this country.
It’s all OK because none of the attackers mentioned election fraud.
I imagine each one of those bass tards that were arrested will be awarded $10,500 by some knuckhead “judge” like last time.
They won’t do crap.
They hate us and love the real lawbreakers.
If those six Capitol Hill policemen were injured that’s the same as killed in JaySix Capistol Hill speak, right?
I think the point is that liberal protesters are always treated better... even if what they do is worse. Our two tiered system of ‘justice’...
It’s all OK because none of the attackers mentioned election fraud.

Isn’t it interesting how pro-terrorist demonstrations that go violent are not a controversy, but mentioned election fraud is a huge trigger??!!!11~1
If being a cook conspiracist isn’t grounds for scoffing and submissiveness, and mentioning election fraud makes you more of an enemy of the state and a political dissident than supporting hamas and attacking the DNC, a true intellectual would see the absurdity of it. Election fraud accusations are basically validated by the reactions that they get..
C’mon, you already know. Just like the commie trash in charge (immaterial if DOJ or coppers) handled the illegal demonstrations outside SCOTUS homes.
These are not conservatives — ignore.
The DNC headquarters building is very close to the Capitol and does fall within extended jurisdiction of the Capitol Police. Capitol buildings and grounds are on three sides of that headquarters building.
.
There were both DC Metro and Capitol Police working the riot, although its unclear if the Capitol Police were there due to jurisdiction or just as mutual aid to a sister agency.
You’ll be waiting a while.
Afraid so.
Mostly pieceful (sick).
Hey..... they’re just having a mostly peaceful hate-fest at Hate-Central.
No worries. The Swamp Rats will turn a blind eye to this bullshit.
