why are this people not being arrested. ?

If it was BLM carrying this out there would be 100s of deaths by now.

Police attempting to deescalate?

I wonder how much deescalation there would have been if these were Black Lives Matter protesters taking over the capital, and planting bombs

More urgent matter than tallying the electoral votes is the immediate removal of Trump from the White House. Body of evidence: "We love you, we know how you feel, you're very special people" - You meaning these pro-Trump terrorists.

there's a curfew but the people are staying outside the capitol building currently

so basically the day is ending and biden isn't elected on jan 6

Does the phrase "pyrrhic victory" ring any bells?

I wonder how long it will take before it becomes common among Trump supporters to claim that Biden is no longer the President-elect because the Congressional vote wasn't held on Jan 6.

We need real law enforcers to do real security job, to begin with not to open the barn door to the riff raff. It boggled the mind that they could walk right through as if it was Costco.

It's probably easier to keep them there instead of having them run around causing havoc in the city.

What should they do.

Just shot the whole lot?

 

They knew protesters would come, so they could have had been more prepared and better staffed, but i don't think the authorities in their wildest dreams had thought protesters would storm the capitol building and enter it.

It's not insurrection.  It's a protest.  Kind of like the ones that went on every night for weeks (months?) in some cities.  In fact, this one seemed pretty benign in comparison, with no burnt cars, buildings or destroyed businesses.

 

I don't support them, but I'm pleased that our elected representatives are getting a taste of real life and the consequences of the conditions they create.  Like the poor folks in Washington state put up with for months on end. 

 

Maybe now, they'll do something about it.

 

What?  Breaking into the Capitol building?  Ransacking the offices?  Stopping the process of counting the votes?  That's sedition.  And NOTING like the mostly peaceful BLM protests. 

 

Stunning how you can in any way support these actions. 

 

2 people have been shot.  Numerous police are in the hospital.  And you are OK with this?  Boggles my mind.

 

I've never seen anything like this in my life.  They should all go to jail.  Especially their ... leader.

The woman who was shot is now dead.  MAGA!!!!!

Very entertaining scenes. It’s been great watching America the last 4 years. Watching it finally go down the gurgler in the next 4 should be brilliant. 
The world (especially the CCP) is laughing.

The only true thing Trump said in his video tweet was that the rioters were “special”

They didnt, they are still there waiting to re commence.

Yeah, for a BLM peaceful rally, they bring out all the troops.  For white Trump supporters, they do very little and let the capitol building be ransacked.  And people killed.  Stunning some don't see this.

Plus even today trump continues to spew numerous total lies to wind his followers up, why nobody challenging him about his lies?

Their wildest dreams have arrived in the form of Trump. Maybe "The Art of War" should be a handbook for the Washington DC security corps.

a ride down an escalator

Anyone who knew anything about trump would have expected no less.

Women who was shot inside Capital Hill grounds has died.

Have the Republicans got the cojones to invoke the 25th?

First time since the Brits in 1814?

Not yet but I’ve always thought trump is just as great a threat as what happened in 1814 when the brits burnt Washington to the ground wake up everyone this on top of everything else is enough arrest him hospitalize him or whatever enough is enough and keep those dirt bags out of the capital buildings in many ways this has been a great day for America the Biden administration now will control both houses and trump and enablers are exposed for what they are seditious traitors to our democracy 

they even left a pipe bomb outside the RNC HQ.  They're eating their own.  Crazed people spurred on by a crazed president.  Incredible.

Imagine you are president and the best supporters you get are the proud boys.

What a loser. Lock him up!

Time to shut down his Twitter account.

Electoral vote counting to resume in 1 hour.

 

Will be interesting if those threatening to will still dispute the electors? IMO, they will just rubber stamp and announce.
