The US Capitol is on lockdown during a tense situation with demonstrators outside the building, according to Capitol police officers.

A CNN employee tried to leave the building and couldn’t because police said the building is on lockdown. 

Congress is currently in session to count and certify the Electoral College votes for president and vice president.

Lockdown didn't keep the demonstrators out. This is on Trump.

Despite having given out said warning,  Washington police seemed to have gone on a prolonged coffee break (or donut hunt?) afterward. Hmmm....

Federal and local law enforcement responding to reports of possible pipe bombs across DC

From CNN’s Evan Perez

Federal and local law enforcement are responding to reports of possible pipe bombs in multiple locations in Washington, DC.

It’s unclear if the devices are real or a hoax, but they’re being treated as real.

It's the Incel-urrection

 

45 should be removed from office immediately via the 25th Amendment, then arrested for domestic terrorism.

 

He is as evil as Osama bin Laden.

[Salerno]

The lunatics have taken over the asylum; unbelievable images circulating. Never thought they'd be allowed to go this far.

 

 

Perhaps if you and your colleagues had strongly denounced the BS being spewed the past past few months and you wouldn't be in this situation.

Pro-Trump protesters have stormed the Capitol. Here's what we know now.

Pro-Trump protesters have stormed the US Capitol, as members of Congress were meeting to certify the Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election.

Video from inside the Capitol showed Trump supporters marching through Statuary Hall. The US Capitol Police is asking for additional law enforcement for assistance in containing the protests, including federal authorities, per a source familiar.

Live streams just reported a lady was shot in the neck inside the capitol building.

That's not good if the report is accurate, but what are people expecting when they enter a federal building like that?

[Puccini]

Why is there no police to arrest or shoot the illegal intruder in the Senate chamber?

They're where some inside from pics (gun drawn trying to barricade a door):

 

 

Others busy escorting people through the escape tunnels/corridors:

 

And footage of a fairly large convoy of cops and SWAT teams on the way from an ABC (Australian) correspondent. Things could get ugly (ier).

Hanging up yet another US flag at the Capitol Building as part of a protest. 

Huh?

 

 

[Walker88]

This is cult behavior.

 

They are terrorists.

 

Osama bin Laden led al Qaeda terrorists; 45 leads these terrorists.

 

They should he handled the same way we handled al Qaeda. No mercy.

If the police are smart they just let the protesters burn themselves out until they go home.

Seems like they got control over most of the exits once again, so if they can keep the protesters outside, they will eventually just go home.

If the police and so on roll out all the hardware it's only going to cause more trouble.

When terrorists are in the act of committing terror, we do not prosecute, we execute.

 

Breaching the corridors of power deserves no quarter, no patience, no mercy.

 

Then arrest their leader. He's across town at 1600 PA Ave.

I agree its extremely serious. Its sedition.

Could it be that Washington DC police had also stooped to Trump order to "stand back"?

Outnumbered? That could be said for Ukraine for example, but not for the USA. Keep in mind that Trump was inciting people a few blocks up the street prior to Congress beginning the session. The sight of protesters rummaging through both chambers made me avert my eyes.

The law enforcement forces just weren't ready. That needs to be investigated but they aren’t the criminals here.
