These are the “law abiding” very good people, right?

Has the media called them “rioters” yet?

The crowd has gotten to the stairs of the capital. This is getting a bit serious.

They are getting basically shelter in place advice, in the capital buildings.

Hoping the doors hold.

I prefer “common gutter criminals”

NBC just said the doors in question are big bronze things.

They’re also calling them “protestors”. :roll_eyes:

They just took pence out.

Senate has interrupted proceedings. Don’t know why.

The president turned a mob loose on the US Capitol.

The US State Department should issue a statement of concern. They do it for every other country, and surely charity begins at home

Evacuating maybe?

They’re only standing on the steps and waving? I thought they would try to storm the inner chamber itself.

Don’t phrase it like that!
It gave me hope.

Can you clarify that statement? Right now that can have a few meanings.

Edit: ninja’d by running_coach… :roll_eyes:

Are there enough police to prevent the crazies from getting inside?

I’m utterly unshocked that there has been no tear gas or rubber bullets unleashed yet. It’s not like they’re in a public park across the street from a church or anything.

You guys have spent so long in Afghanistan, you have actually become Afghanistan.

They are telling the senate to get down. The house is still talking, looks like senate is being evacuated.

Sorry, out of the chamber.

They’re spoiled children throwing all the checkers in the air because they lost the game.

That’s the dream of every politician: To die with his mouth moving.

WHAT??? Why? Are the rioters REALLY a physical threat? Are there weapons, bombs??
