If it would have been Black Lives Matter Protestors at the US Capitol

If the protestors that stormed the US Capitol would have been Black Lives Matters protestors, the reaction by police would have been totally different. Those insurrectionists were white and there was only a small police prescience. With the inauguration only days away, security of the US Capitol grounds should have been top priority. We have to be thankful, that event could have occurred while Biden was being sworn in.

I noticed from the news a few police officers only pointing their guns at the rioters. If they would have been Black, officers would have fired several shots into the crowd. Trump and those around would use that to degrade the Black community and charges of the ringleaders would have been more severe.

I would further say that if Trump would have been Black he would not even have been elected President and if elected would have been impeached and convicted in the Senate. I believe the 25th amendment would have been invoked against him. This country has let Trump get away with a lot from the first time he came down those golden escalators and belittled Mexican immigrants saying they bring crime and drugs and are rapists. Trump whipped his followers into a frenzy and they did his bidding. Those rioters embarrassed this country and if they would have been Black we would never hear the end of it.

I don't condone this but what is worse some looting and damage or an insurrection where rioters storm the US Capitol and obstruct Congress and basically attempt a coup.

Securing the US Capitol

After the attack on the Capitol, efforts are underway to secure it for congress and for the Inauguration of Joe Biden. 1000s of Nation Guard members along with The Capitol and DC police have been called to provide security. Fencing have be put up around the Capitol and the national Mall. The National Mall wall will be closed so no one will be allowed there for the inauguration. The FBI is reviewing video, photos, and social media to track down people that participated at the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021. They claim to have received lots of tips that will help them find the perpetrators. Alerts have gone out to secure all 50 state capitols because of alleged planned attacks on them. Trump recently gave a speech saying that people that do violence and vandalism are not his followers. He basically called for calm during the speech. He did not apologize for the remarks he made at the January 6th rally which incited the insurrecti...

Trump Speaks - Too Little To Late?

It's good that Trump made this speech to the country and for his base to know that violence is unacceptable. He did not apologize for what he did and said at that Jan. 6th rally but this is good to calm people down.

Who Is to Blame For the Insurrection of 2021

Who is responsible for the insurrection at the US Capitol? Many blame Trump who spoke at a rally on January 6th. There was a "call" for people to come from all over the country. At the rally Trump again and again told his followers to fight and to march down to the Capitol and seek justice for the election that was "being stolen" from him. People are responsible for their own actions but did Trump incite a riot? Yes he did. He has been spewing false claims since the November Election in which Biden won. Trump has stated that the election has been stolen and their was widespread fraud. He said the only way he would lose is if the election was stolen. CNN has shown the footage again and again that Rudy Giuliani said there has to be "Trial by Combat". There was a senator who I can't remeber his name said at the rally, "It's time to start taking names and kicking ass." There were congressmen and women that objected to ratif...
