If it were happening in St. Louis it wouldn’t be a treasonous attack against the UNited States government led by the president.

Exactly! Thank You for this sanity and clarity, jp1. Rob

it's not really racism, it's ideology, if they weren't rightwingers they would be dead

If they weren't right-wingers, there might be a police presence.

Domestic terrorism. Trump could probably end this with a tweet. Bring in the guard and make arrests.

Just a mostly peaceful protest. They haven’t even started burning and looting like most here think is fine.

Ah, I was waiting for the excuses by the right to start, and here we go!

If they were black there would’ve been 5000 armed police/national guard in riot outfits surrounding the captor building for the past two days in preparation.

It's not like they didn't have advance warning. "Stand down and stand by" all you seditionists! (Donald Trump, first debate) He set this all up, then vanished.

Storming Congress is unacceptable.

Burning and looting blocks from my house. Also unacceptable.

It stopped being peaceful when they breached the capitol. It’s now a full on violent coup attempt and needs to be responded to as such.

The time for a second impeachment is upon us.

But at least the rest of the world isn't watching your neighborhood, horrified.

On Sunday, Trump assured he will join the rally* as concerns about violence rise among residents and authorities.

“I will be there, and it will be wild,” Trump tweeted as he informed that the rally will take place at 11h00 local time on January 6.

With the slogan 'Stop The Steal', the President, who has fought and lost in court his claims of alleged election fraud, called on his supporters to be part of this "Historic day!"

*MIA, just as he has been throughout the pandemic.
