WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As most Americans recoiled in horror at scenes of rioting and chaos in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, some right-wing and anti-government extremists saw the violence as the fulfillment of a patriotic duty or opportunity to advance their agenda.

Among the inspired was Mike Dunn, a 20-year-old follower of the "boogaloo" anti-government movement, whose adherents anticipate a revolution toppling the federal government or a second U.S. civil war.

Dunn, who lives in Virginia, said three or four groups of loyalists under his command helped storm the Capitol this week amid a motley mix of rioters who supported President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the results of the November presidential election. While most "boogaloos" are libertarians who largely oppose Trump, Dunn said the group embraced the moment to strike against the government....

CNN never noticed that. They called it “mostly peaceful demonstrations” - more lies for the fools that believe in them.

How to smell fear from the pretend government, when they roll out their paid false flag actors to show that this whole thing was white supremacists.

Little do these useful govt employees realize is that the swamp hates witnesses. After they are paraded round and they are no longer useful, they will be body bag stuffing.

Animal House antics have been reframed as SS Troopers firing on full automatic. This characterization is ridiculous and overwrought, and Republican are nuts to go along with it. Democrat legislators who tell us it is our duty to run away from armed home invaders instead of shooting them are now telling us it is OK to shoot unarmed protestors who barge into their offices to take selfies and lift souvenirs. Could they be any more hysterical? Could their reaction be any more tyrannical?

When students take over a college hall, it’s called a sit-in. When the Capitol Police clear the barriers, open the doors for you, and wave you in, it’s called a siege.
