It's Kind Of Insane How Vulnerable Key US Sites Are To Attack.

At this point? More like ever. America's greatest danger isn't and will never be minorities. It's always and will forever be white supremacists.
Your country was nearly brought to it's knees by some crackers upset because their orange man told them the election was a fraud. Thankfully they were far far too stupid to actually get anything accomplished but it just shows you just how little this country focuses on the real terrorist groups because it's too focused on PoC because the country still thinks the slaves will rebel, kill everyone and implement reverse slavery
Unless they're somehow oblivious to Twitter and social media, it was negligent.
Someone undermanned the security on that day. No doubt about it. Whether is was negligence or on purpose, my bet, heads need to roll. Many people's lives were in real danger that day and had the mob been faster and better prepared we would at best had a hostage situation and at worst be reading about the lynchings of Pelosi, AOC, and all the other people on those extremists hit lists.
I think we need to collectively not be surprised when, in a few week's time, there's a WaPo story revealing that the WH coordinated with members of capitol security and the rally-goers to get them in the building and "send a message".
Yeah.
We are lucky this didn't go down so much worse. The mob mentality absolutely wanted blood.
There were weapons, wrist ties, and adjacent explosives for a reason.
The racial element was only part of the equation of fuckery, it's also the fact that they were MAGA. If it was white people who could be branded as ANTIFA the hammer would have been brought down on em.
You need both, a majority of black people or brown people with MAGA hats trying to storm the Capitol is getting wrecked and reminded where they truly stand in the hierarchy.

For sure. Whether or not you want to believe cops were in on it or just incredibly ill prepared because white=good guys... they LET it happen. Doesnt really matter if intentionally. The second the dipshits were met with the slightest force, they exited like it was a fire drill.This is security when black people were protesting away from the capitol for George Floyd:
It was not a lapse. Trump let it happen and some of those cops were in on it. You could tell because some of them were taking pictures or just watching while others looked genuinely terrified. And once Trump's hand was forced when the security forces were released in full, they squashed that shit quickly and easily.
No, what happened yesterday was to deliberately not do anything until it got completely out of hand. If it was a real foreign threat you would have seen an immediate military response. That and their skin was not dark enough.
I hope Liberal white people dont think they can just waltz in a pull this shit off. The racism is real but this was allowed to happen by Trump. there is a reason Pence had to step in and mobilize the national guard and its because trump wanted this shit to go down. He needs to be arrested and every single racist white trump supporter/cop needs to be dragged in as well.

Maybe it is good these weaknesses were exposed to security can be ramped up before something major happens. Also, I believe that these people could have been stopped if they really wanted to stop them. There needs to be an investigation into this. Wouldn't be surprised to hear that Trump allowed it to happen and we know he declined to send in the National Guard when he should have.
I want to say trump ordered that the Capitol would be handled by local law enforcement and not federal officers
And that white people are also protecting these places so they just assimilate. The defence budget is simply a racket.
well we don't know that until a group of white people try waltzing into an airport
neither of these are tinfoil hat worthy they are sadly both painfully obvious
Our military generally isn't pointed inward. I see the defense spending being brought up a lot, but it's kind of red herring because the attack came from within. Should a foreign power attack us, though, they'll be looking at $700 billion of revenge coming their way.

Uh, maybe you should consider sending that money inward then....
I think you guys need to take into consideration that the cops there were allowing it to happen because they all believed in the same shit. We saw this happening, one was gingerly helping a Trumper, who broke inside, down the steps of the capitol. We saw what the presence looked like in preparation for BLM. And if an foreign operative tried staging this, it would likely be snuffed out before they got anywhere near as close. The issue is our intelligence still isn't treating organized MAGA as terrorists and that when they do show up, law enforcement only pretends to work.
I don't disagree or make any judgments about whether how it is is actually a good idea, but that's just how I see it being. Look at what happened after 9/11 and how we ripped apart a whole region just to go after one guy.
Too much risk of blowback, a foreign service would just recruit, cultivate and run a few MAGA nuts as (aware or ignorant) proxies to do it for them.
One of the hallmarks of our system/capital is it's accessibility as a citizen... while there was a huge failure yesterday and adjustments need to be made to ensure safety, I'm not in a rush to give them support to lockdown the capital from their constituents.
Capital security and police exist for a reason, the national security in charge of keeping the capital safe failed and those root causes need to addressed.
This is also in part because of a president (and republicans sitting in the capital) inciting a mob of stupid... Trump knowingly or not so knowingly exploits our way of governing. That may require adapting for the future but I'm not so willing to change everything because one president was a stain in our history.

This. There was no real resistance. They were invited in and the cops were taking selfies with them.
