Capitol under lockdown

[HeatherC]

Anyone seeing this? Not to be political because I don’t care what side people vote on. But what makes ANYONE think this behavior is acceptable anytime? Behavior like this and the unruly protests in the past are really so disgusting and makes one lose heart that people can be like this. When did this stuff become ok?

 

[AlohaNow]

So it's all led to this....

 

[DisneyHardin]

I'm watching in shock.

So it's all led to this....

What do you mean? I’m not understanding. And to be clear I am not talking any political party. I am talking about what makes people think behavior like this is ok and when did we as a society come to accept it so much?

 

[MillauFr]

I'm watching in shock.

I'm shocked, but not really.... There are so many noxious fumes floating about all it takes is a little spark to make the whole thing explode.

 

[Farro]

SHAMEFUL.

EMBARASSING.

 

[RamblingMad]

Watching the coverage on Sky News. I wasn't expecting this reaction.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

It was inevitable
more frightening that its also "a feel good moment" for some

So it's all led to this....

Unruly protests?

It’s a riot. Where’s the rubber bullets, tear gas, batons, excessive force?

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

 

[White_Rabbit18]

This is disgusting. How disrespectful to our country and our values.

So much for 2021 starting off to be a better year at only 6 days in. T&Ps for the woman shot. It looks like she didn't make it.

Unfortunately it doesn't surprise me at all. I hate saying that, but it's been building for months. It's absolutely terrible and embarassing.

All I know is that if any other country was acting like this, we would have already condemned it, imposed sanctions, and had boots on the ground in order to restore our version of democracy. What a disgrace.

 

[HeatherC]

I understand

Don’t make this thread a political stance for yourself. That is NOT what it is about. You want to talk politics then do it elsewhere.

I was talking about protests that have gotten out of hand in the past. What is happening now is far beyond that.

Never gave that a thought to my answer

 

[sam_gordon]

I'm not surprised. Disappointed, not surprised.

 

[NYCgrrl]

I’m not really shocked. The direction has been quite clear.
