Panic buttons were inexplicably torn out ahead of Capitol riots, says Ayanna Pressley chief of staff

Panic buttons installed in Ayanna Pressley’s congressional office were torn out before rioters stormed the Capitol last week, her staff have said.

Sarah Groh, who serves as Ms Pressley’s chief of staff, was with the congresswoman when president Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol building last Wednesday.

She told the Boston Globe that she had reached for the panic buttons installed in Ms Pressley’s office as they tried to barricade themselves in.

But, when they went to press panic buttons, Ms Pressley’s staff saw that they weren’t there, and appeared to have been ripped out.

“Every panic button in my office had been torn out - the whole unit,” Ms Groh told the paper.

She added that she could not believe why the panic buttons were removed, and that Ms Pressley’s staff had used the panic buttons in the past, including during drills.

Nor had Ms Pressley and her staff moved offices, said Ms Groh.

The was one guy photographed with zip ties but it seemed stupid for him to have them out in full view when normally such a person would want to disguise their intentions and keep their hands free , not carry anything unneccesary in the hands.

The Awan brothers were hired to set up the House computer/internet system they didn’t just walk in off the street.

And I’m absolutely certain they had no connection to the Pakistani ISI. Nope, none at all!

The guy was making the zip ties as obvious as possible.

We KNOW one Antifa/BLM supporting guy was there, Sullivan, who made a video of Ashli Babbitt being shot and he’s the guy who founded Insurgence News... also, he ORGANIZED at least one protest in Utah and supported more- he’s not just an observer as the media tries to imply. His organizing days go back at least to Obama’s 2014 war on cops. Not sure if it was the same protest as the one he was known to organize, but he was also at a Utah protest where leftists mobbed a vehicle that happened by and shot the driver, then tried to do the same to another. At least one of those arrested had links to his group on her social media page.

Same here.

I actually still play a little of WoW, but only about 1% of the time I used to.
As a matter of fact, I have a friend in South Africa, friends that are a whole family in Vancouver, and other friends that are family in New Zealand; we all built a guild together and have been close friends since then.
We’ve all known each other more than a decade, and still keep in touch, nut moving here from Japan has screwed up the normal time zones that we all used to play :/

Same, mine is trying to update. But I stream Aftermath overnight and it seems to block it from the update.

EAS test triggered the other day. It worked.

Unfortunately, this guy did turn out to be a member of some right wing movement. He had full riot gear, like the other one with zip ties. He’s an AF vet from Texas, IIRC.

The weird thing was that he was there with his 53 year old mother, a plump, non-athletic looking lady who wasn’t carrying zip ties but did have some kind of vest or pack on. She was trotting along with him.

I don’t know if these people were part of an organized group or just free-lance crazies who thought they were coming to DC to mix it up with Antifa, since everybody knew that Antifa was going to be there in one form or another.

However, I doubt that they had anything to do with the panic buttons. I’m not even sure that story is true, and I think a lot more confirmation is necessary before believing somebody like Ayanna Presley.

Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They’re going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town

Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it

Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone...
