I have no use for rioters and I do not care what side they pretend be on.

On the plus side it may make Dems appreciate law and order for the first time in a long while. Nah, probably not

soap box has been censored on one side, ballot box is corrupted, what is left? Don't think P-Mags fit in a cartridge box.

Some of the "breaching" videos I saw involved people walking into the capitol building (between the lines of velvet ropes) and taking videos and photos.

Word choice sure can make a difference.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

"Rioters"

The jury box, but they've denied that because reasons.

Or when you have leftist judges say bullshit like this:

"Here we conclude that while failures to include a handwritten name, address or date in the voter declaration on the back of the outer envelope, while constituting technical violations of the Election Code, do not warrant the wholesale disenfranchisement of thousands of Pennsylvanian voters," wrote Justice Christine Donohue, who was joined in the opinion by two others in the Monday order.
The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.

+1

Also sorry to see this happen as it feeds into the "Democrat opponents bad" narrative. Of course in any group, there is a non-zero percentage of assholes and idiots.

Of course had this been BLM or ANTIFA it would "mostly peaceful" protesting, not a riot. And I can't say I have much sympathy for congress critters huddling in fear under their seats.

They didn't do squat when Portland, Minneapolis or Kenosha were going up. Might do some good for them to have a taste and be reminded that neither they nor the city of DC are special. But I'm probably kidding myself on that.

Evidence emerging of crisis actors at the front doing the bad stuff. Or some of it. Antifa characters recognizable in photos from other Antifa riots in Phillie etc.

Maybe true, maybe not. If true it just confirms that my belief that they should have been shooting them as they busted through the doors.
