USA - Odd Things Occurring?

[dogmeat]

I'm hearing/seeing various reports of the Capitol being "stormed" in Washington, shots fired, maybe person/persons down.

Add anything useful.

Sorry about the source:

Crowds of 'Trump fans’ storm inside D.C. Capitol and 'one shot' in bloody clash

HUNDREDS of Trump fans stormed INSIDE the US Capitol building and were tear gassed as bloody clashes with cops erupted. One person was allegedly shot as the carnage ensued, Fox News reported. Follo…

Al Jazeerra live coverage is pretty good, been watching it for the last hour.

One female shot and in a critical condition.

All I know for sure is that these Republican Supporters are making sure that the Democrats will win a second term.

Moderate voters will not be impressed by this.

Protesters have stormed both the Senate and Congress floors. They're inside the building.

The police have drawn weapons

Sigh. I remember the good old days of democracy. People voted, one side won, one side lost. Then we all got on with it.
It seems that everyone is a snowflake these days.

Any of the media called it as “largely peaceful” yet?

Wonder which variant of the corona is flying around that mob.

Any of the media called it as “largely peaceful” yet?

And they won't, because the majority of the people involved aren't "protected groups".

There was an interesting piece the other day about the D.C. Army National Guard deployment; because Washington D.C. is not a State and does not have a Governor, authority for callout resides in the Secretary of the Army, a Federal official in the Trump administration.

Must admit that since the beginning of December I watch Al Jazeera instead of the BBC or Sky at breakfast time as the seem to be the only outlet reporting on things other than covid with a sprinkling of magazine/lifestyle pieces.

One woman shot in the chest with armed protestors in the chamber is what we are getting on our news. Looks crazy there.
