One person shot in US Capitol after pro-Trump protesters charge building, source says

Hahaha! Every Trump hater on this forum.

 

It all points to groups of anti-Americans who travel to protests to create mayhem. Left wing protests were victims of these anarchists last summer. Remember? Not Trump. Not even sedition. Just stupid violence by the same cretins who have been doing this for quite a while.

 

So, the next time a BLM rally, or ANTIFA take over happens, you'll recall that you wrote this, right? It seems you're only offended when its folks who are protesting against positions that protect you. Smacks of a ton of hypocrisy on your part.

 

For anyone who is interested, here is a video of the shooting. Of course this contains graphic content, but this version shows the firing of the shot, the victim and any gore is blurred out. Supposedly, these particular protesters were at the door to the lobby of where the politicians were holed up, secret service was not going to let anyone get in there as it would have been to close. She was climbing into the lobby when shot.

They probably did not realize they were that close to a no go zone.

 

She was shot by a Capitol police officer, not Secret Service. There's a difference. Also, where did you get this information about the lobby where politicians were holed up?

 

I don't recall BLM or Antifa entering the capitol before to make politicians change their vote in who becomes the US president.
So your hypocrisy claim is just a stupid personal attack.



Heck.. Antifa stands for Anti Fascists.
And if them lot would have stopped the fascists entering the capitol, when the cops can't be bothered to shoot a bunch of white fascists,... not seeing a problem there.

 

Not familiar with the security at the Capital, but the shot fired was from a guy in a suit, so I assumed Secret Service. The information about the the lobby to the chamber they were in I got from more than one twitter feed conversation from the various unedited videos of the shooting from bystander, its the best I gots.

 

if she had not been in the progress of breaking an entry, yep

 

Would you have been ok with the federal officers shooting everyone who tried to break into the federal courthouse in Oregon this summer?

 

Complete bullshit. The trump insurrectionists knew they were in a no-go zone when they broke into the Capitol building to riot.

 

It was never attempted in the first place. Civil disobedience by walking around taking selfies .

 

Were you mad at the 10s of 1000s of insurrectionosts across the country rioting, setting cop cars on fire, taking control over city blocks, robbing stores, destroying govt property, attacking police and shooting people? Democrats through and through. Biden supporters right.

 

This is the difference

Rioters breached US Capitol security on Wednesday. This was the police response when it was Black protesters on DC streets last year

 

Where did I claim that they represented 70 million voters?

 

I'm talking about Trump's base here, not all who voted for Trump. And not once, on this forum or anywhere else, have I ever defended violence, be it looting, burning, breaking, or person-to-person. Quite the opposite.

 

The 1954 United States Capitol shooting was a terrorist attack on March 1, 1954, by four Puerto Rican nationalists; they shot 30 rounds from semi-automatic pistols from the Ladies' Gallery (a balcony for visitors) of the House of Representatives chamber in the United States Capitol. They wanted to highlight their desire for Puerto Rican independence from US rule.

She was a terrorist who was put down during an insurrection.

 

When I was watching events unfold yesterday, I wondered if there were any antifa groups in attendance, but didn't see any. Maybe they aren't as dumb as I thought.

 

Bit weird to even think that it was Antifa. It was Donalds idea to march on to the Capitol. He said so to them at the White House, right before his crowd marched on to the capital... chanting fight for trump fight for trump.

 

A completely unarmed "terrorist"? That's sure a novel concept.

 

Nope. Part of a mob.

 

Whuts wrong with that?

 

To be a terrorist you do not need a gun or a bomb, all you need to do is project violence.
You run with a mob of violent folks, smashing windows or doors, loot and destroy, you might get the Darwin Award.
Well deserved, in this case.
Besides braking the oath she took, which is treason.

 

How many "terrorists" have "projected violence" without some sort of weapon in the past?

There are certainly risks to participating in protests that result in property damage. I suppose you feel similarly about all the #BLM looters this summer, for consistency's sake?

It'll be investigated and we'll see. The shooter is already on administrative leave. Frankly, I wouldn't want to be in his position of having to explain why I shot the unarmed woman who wasn't attacking anyone. He even endangered his fellow officers that were standing behind her in the hallway.

First off, its "breaking" not "braking", and secondly, it's not "treason" in any legal sense. At most she was guilty of some petty trespassing or misdemeanor vandalism charge.

 

So when Kyle shot those guys, they were "part of a mob" too, right? and his shootings were justified?
