I certainly hope she lives. The last thing those wingnuts need is a martyr to their cause, if nothing else. (Also, human decency, etc.)
I was thinking a police helicopter dropping tear gas into the crowd, but the USAF works just as well.
Nato Secretary General weighs in:
Yeah, let’s not start cheering on deaths.
It is not nice to wish harm on the mentally ill.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but this all goes to illustrate the axiom that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter, and one man’s police brutality is another man’s law and order.
Pretty easy to get their line of thinking: Democrats are proven to have cheated and stolen the election, and nobody’s doing anything about it, so it’s up to us. Tree of liberty and all that.
I honestly wasn’t sure if the crowd would be big enough that there’d be a critical mass of people who’d actually pull this kind of thing.

Joe: “I call on President Trump to go on national television NOW, and uphold his oath to defend the constitution.”
Yes, they are fighting against freedom and against any sort of law and order.
I really wouldn’t try to equivocate this. Can you tell me what freedom it is that they are fighting for? Can you tell me how assaulting the Capitol is law and order?
This is “bothsidesism” at its purist form.
No, Joe, don’t say the “i” word (insurrection)!!!
