The media who said Antifa and BLM burning cars and businesses, shooting police officers and throwing molotov cocktails were mostly peaceful. Now they are all over this orchestrated event as if patriots are a danger to the entire universe.
The one message is that many American are getting damned angry after a year of abuse and a stolen election.
Just saw Nancy Mace for the first time and she speaks out of both sides of her mouth. What a phony? She is in this game for Nancy and to hell with the Constitution.
Why were the Capitol Police so woefully unprepared?
I don't buy into all the conspiracy theories suggesting that this was all a staged event intended to make Trump look bad. That may have been the motivation for a lot of the mutants who showed up to riot, but I don't think any government officials really had any part in that.
The simplest explanation is this:
The Capitol Police were unprepared for this because they knew damn well that a crowd of Trump supporters -- whether it's 5,000 people, 50,000 people or 5 million people -- are generally the most peaceful, normal human beings you'll ever meet.
This is ridiculous and silly. I swear I can hear Al Gore or John Kerry's voice when I read this. There were plenty of Trump supporters in the Capitol just as I am confident there were a few Antifa agitators leading the "charge". In a number of videos taken as they are entering the building, there is what sounds like metal detectors going off and nobody was stopping to be wanded and have their bags searched. Not even the Trump supporters.
You can make plenty of good arguments for your case without having to sound like Al Gore the Bullshitter. This is not one of them.
