Maybe the US is having their 1917 revolution, or even their Bastille day ????

So you are cool with fascists?  Just locker room terrorists?  You think taking a dump on the Capitol building floor and spreading the feces around the hallways is 'patriotic'?  You think people beating a cop to death are "hardly the nasty insurgents as described".

it's mob rules, things get out of control, could have been far worse to be honest, it's a miracle that only 5 got killed, it could have slipped into total chaos, Bastille day style

 

anyway, from the video, they clearly came with collecting information as their war objective, and those who have been arrested were clearly calm and respectful inside the chambers, the video is quite funny with the loon with the horn

 

they said they came for a PR war, nothing else, they didn't burn the chambers, ok they had their fun inside,

 

and they actually obeyed the lone police officer in the chamber with them and followed him to exit the place 

 

funny how different video footage change completely the optics on the events,

They wore body armor, carried and used bear spray and other chemicals against Capitol police, used improvised weapons and killed one police officer, smashed windows, stole a laptop from Pelosi's office which may have been offered for sale to Russia, built a gallows, etc.

 

All this was for a PR war?

Yes, stealing a the laptop from the Speaker of the House of the United States and then trying to sell it to Russia is exactly what a 'patriot' would do.

Heavy sigh . . . I won't bother trying to explain what I know has been explained several times to you before. I will just point out you are wrong using this phrase. Again.

Amazing if only because it preserved the mating call of the Qanon Shaman.

Chain-link fences and cement barriers protected the Capitol grounds and multiple armored vehicles were stationed nearby.

Trump finally got his wall.

“When Trump sends his people, he’s not sending his best. They’re insurrectionists, loudmouths, racists, and some*, I assume, are good people”

 

*actually, none.

they didn't.  Trump and Pence refused to call up the national guard.  The blame is with them, nobody else.  Other than those who helped enable this and the fake news websites.  Fox being one of the worst.

Wow.  You really do have a hard time seeing the facts.  They were far from calm, especially when trying to get that cops gun from him and shoot him with it.  You can hear them say that.

 

Or, when they were trying to find Pence to hang him.  Or....

 

Stunning you don't see this.  It was an attempted coup.  Nothing less.  Stunning you don't understand this.

There is currently virtually no ammunition available for sale in the US. All the major online ammo sales sites (yes, in the US you can order ammo online and have it delivered to your home) are sold out in every caliber from every manufacturer. In the secondary market popular ammo like 9mm (for handguns) and 5.56 NATO/,223 (for AR-15s) is trading at 3-4x the normal price.

Reloading ammunition and casting bullets is also very big with practically no primers or powder available,and what there is is at premium prices,so keep your powder dry boys.

Sure, when a protestor shouts "Where the f*** are they?" ya think he's hunting for Easter Eggs? And if that's what you think, what about the one who asks "Where's Nancy?" Maybe he's laboring under the delusion that Nancy Reagan is buried somewhere on the premises?
