I suppose it offsets the 50 killed most weekends in Chicago!

Unarmed to. But its ok in this case of course. In all seriousness I can see the USA breaking up. As was George Floyd, which was clearly the reference. though at the time he of course had committed the shocking crime of having a forged note, so apparently was deserving of having his life snuffed out over a sustained period of time. This woman's death is indeed tragic, and especially for her family. Imagine hearing that your loved on was shot while breaking into the seat of power with a mob of fantasists and armed individuals trying to disrupt the democratic process in person while draped in a Trump flag. Dying draped in a Trump flag - for playing the fantasist game of a man who clearly does not give a single sh!t about her. A pitiful and tragic way to bow out and considering that security were trying to fend off a mob, this is clearly something that was in danger of happening. It's no 'knee on the neck until you piss yourself and die'. If that had happened while crowds watched on, yes I'm sure the response would've been different. A tragic decision. Her poor family. You should be lending more time to criticising the stupidity that led her her to be there in the first place. If not for that she would be alive and well.

Lucky this was a homogenously white protest. Well I mean in large part that's very clearly what it was. In fact there were even plenty of full on self declared neo-nazi types too, the whole ragtag parade, so there was little pretense of it ever being peaceful. If its good to endlessly 'make hay' on here at any mention of BLM or black crime, then I think that it's fine to highlight racial realities about this situation too, led by the big 'birther'. Sure it was in response to Trump's fantasy of rejecting democratic realities, but it's his diehards, and base that hang off his every word that act on it.. and those we saw, either off their rocker, or armed and aiming to intimidate elected representatives are, by their presence, clearly those who Trump appeals to most.

If the people there yesterday were black there’s no way they would have got anywhere near the Capitol building. There was black people there.

I personally didn't see anyone armed. But I didn't spend all night watching it. Nor am I really on social media. I presume there are loads of pictures of hardcore weirdos armed to the teeth, just to make sure we can be under no illusion about this armed insurrection. Definitely a coup.

So not because it is a totally dumb idea circulated by utter morons? Good to know your real priorities Wisbech. I already guessed your game. It's not though a dumb "idea" is it? It's a totally implausible bunch of meaningless words that could never be called an idea. Anyone with more than 2 brain cells knows that which is why using those words is just a gift to the right. Giving them any assistance in their quest to portray all those who oppose them as stupid "lefties" is what's really dumb.

There was black people there. The overwhelming majority were white and I have I only seen photos of white (mainly men) inside the Capitol. If it was a majority black crowd shots would have been fired well before.

How many blacks were shot during the blm riots over the last 2 years. Probably not as many as in Chicago in the last month but that dont count as it wasnt police or whites. It were black on black.

Almost amusing seeing the photos and proof on Twitter of Antifa terrorists last night pretending to be Trump rioters.

Funny how everyone gets a lot of extra ball strength once they are out of Trump's administration. Even his former lapdog Bill Barr is sticking the knife in on this dangerous sociopath president who has shown himself to be a major threat to this country. Trump is the worst president this country will ever see. Apparently, Lindsey Graham has too. That will hurt. Trump is now looking increasingly isolated and friendless.

Staying away from social media is always a good call. That's not the only way to receive news. Several were armed to the teeth so there is really no need to attempt to portray it as anything other than what it is. I tend to find when various neo-nazi groups turn up to something, and pipe bombs are left behind that those elected representatives inside the building have valid reason to be concerned. Of course nobody 'deserves' to get shot for stupidity. To portray the security who had a fend off an armed mob and acted it the moment of doing so is clearly inaccurate. This woman put herself in an unfortunate and dangerous situation. Trump clearly does not give a damn about her. Her death, especially while draped in his flag is of course tragic.
