No one is saying that looting and burning things is appropriate. The protests were largely peaceful, there was also a mix of maga folks/proud boys/white supremacists counter protesting, antagonising, killing, and proven events of infiltrating and causing the violence themselves which added intentional fuel to the fire. What do you think would have happened yesterday if antifa turned up with guns to stop the magas?

Again, you treat everything as though it isn't the consequence of what came before.

Terrorists, the lot of them. It's gross that most of them were let go without charges. If they were black, there would have been scores of people shot dead, yet they can't arrest these people for committing multiple felonies? For engaging in a terrorist act?

And before someone disengenuously makes out that I wanted a bunch of maga morons shot dead, I don't want that, I just want peaceful BLM protesters to be treated as well as violent white terrorists seemingly are.

I know there's some quite serious systemic issues of trust in the fabric of America's politics and media, but you'd have to wonder if even half the yee-haws who showed up yesterday really believe in this stuff. The reasons for the news media to make a big deal out of this are sincere and just, but there's another angle here. And that is that after near on two months of giving it socks, there simply wasn't enough conviction there in the end from Trump's support base.

Jesus, if I thought Ireland's elections outcomes were being genuinely manipulated to such an extent I'd probably be chained to a government building myself. With respect to the disgrace that it was, surely it pales in comparison - thankfully - to the disgrace it could have been. Most of the crowd showed up for a good ol' time. Their Glastonbury. A relatively tiny minority done a smash and grab on government buildings that seemed to last about as long as a few games of Fifa.

There's no doubt Trumpism is here to stay, and there'll doubtless be future threats and violence, but it's worth remembering in between all the shock and outrage how utterly toothless most of this lot are. The t-shirts, the chanting. It's the "**** everything establishment" brigade having a tailgate party.

The FBi are going to arrest and charge them all, the people who entered the building will face 15 charges which could been they all get around 100 years

Was she on her own, how many shots were fired, did she have a firearm, just wondering why her, must have been chaos in there

Are you still defunding? or does it depend on who is being shot

She was part of a group and she tried climbing through a little gap tk get into the room where one shot was fired, we should care more for the 3 innocent workers who were caused to have fatal heart attacks

I don’t care that she is dead, I just wondered how she was singled out

[Parmy]

She wasnt climbing through anything when she was shot..I think she threw some powder at the gun toting guards though..cause if you see the pic of them there is dust on the table in front of them..

Her name will be remembered for years to come when this all comes out.

I would guess, although we don't know yet, it happened when they started firing through the doors, so the fuzz started firing back without a clear view, so more than likely it was a stray bullet.
