There has been a shooting on the Capitol lawn. A woman was shot in the chest and is in critical condition. National Guard is on their way, as well as more law enforcement.
The people that went inside looked like Antifa pretending to be patriots, but carrying a few flags and wearing MAGA caps.
Good afternoon to all- People shot on the Capitol grounds. Congress forced to flee for safety. tRump flags waving and thugs breaking in. God damn tRump. God damn his supporters. These are not "patriots". These are individuals who need to be removed and whatever it takes- remove them. And if you support that vomit trump, you're to blame for this too. good day to all- except tRump
Trump supporters are saying that they were still listening to the president speak when the capitol was breached. The videos shows a guy in black with the plexiglass shield, just like antifa always uses, and he was breaking the window so people could go in. There was no sign of law enforcement there at all, as the whole bunch of them went inside. No one even tried to stop them, and people should not be able to just break a window and go into the capitol building like happened today. Here is a picture of the guy with the horns on his head, and he is definitely an antifa member, as you can tell from this picture. He has the same tattoos on his arms. I am hoping that our president expected this to happen and the antifa people who broke in will be arrested and charged with breaking in. there are definitely pictures of them doing it all over the internet !
Yep, there is growing evidence that Antifa had this setup when they heard of the Trump rally. It was no doubt coordinated with the capitol police because of the lack of security which doesn't make sense unless it was all preplanned.
Not only the fellow with the horns is Antifa but also the fellow with a tattoo on his hand. These people are just trying to blame the patriots. Sad
I think you are stepping over the line here, Ed. Why don't you shut it down and go outside for a while.
Good evening to all- Beth- you accuse ME of stepping over the line? When tRump supporters are breaking into congress and shooting folks. and then tRump supporters are blaming others for the rioting and destruction? These thugs who went to Washington today are not patriots, and those who excuse them and that vile, vile mean who pollutes the White House incites them- those are the people who are over the line. But I do agree that I need to be somewhere else- this place is just a little bit too far out of touch with reality. good night to all- except tRump
Some of the news stations are reporting that it was antifa, and thankfully, they have been arrested for breaking into the capitol. Something like that should carry enough of a sentence that they will be out of commission for antifa/BLM for a while. It os pretty obvious that none of these look like Trump supporters . The guy on the left with the black/blue jacket also has pictures from a BLM riot.
President Trump has released a statement, thanking all of the supporters for coming to the rally, and telling them that it is not safe now, and they need to go home, and we all need to have peace. Since antifa seems to do their best/worst at night, I expect there will be more vandalism from the ones who were not arrested, and it will also be made to look like it was Trump patriots who did it. Most of the actual Trump supporters were not even close when the antifa broke the window and went inside of the capitol. They were outside being happy, peaceful people at the rally.
Ed give us a brake what building was burned what cars were burned what people were beaten or shot. Do not mix Trump supporter with the democrat thugs
This may all backfire. Just heard interview of Senator Joe Manchin (WV). He has been talking to other Senators while in lockdown, and saying he thought several members of the Senate are now having second thoughts about their objections. He said he actually hopes to resume meeting tonight and get this over with promptly. Manchin is the one who organized the bipartisan group in the Senate that came up with the Covid compromise bill. Hope the members of the House can get together and do the same. I'll be amazed if they can get back to work tonight, but let's hope.
The FBI has now said that at least one bus load of antifa/BLM were bussed in to disrupt the (peaceful) rally, and it is likely that at least some of these people have been arrested and identified. Many of the antifa rioters have previous criminal records, from earlier riots and violations, so even if the mainstream news doesn’t come out and say that it was actually antifa and not Trump supporters, at least law enforcement will know who was responsible. With the thousands of people who were there, and people just following the crowd, it is also possible that some of the Trump supporters just followed along once the way into the capitol was open ; but it didn’t look like very many people actually went in. Here is a picture of the people scaling the walls, and this certainly looks more like antifa than baby boomer Trump supporters !
