Terrorist invasion of Capitol building by Trump/MAGA supporters; shots fired, Senate evacuated, 5 dead including cop [See threadmarks for updates]'

It's organized by the right.
That makes it a "peaceful protest of very fine people"
That last source is literally the one that got the last thread closed.
The "gunshots" thing is likely the fireworks reported by others, or the pepper balls fired by police. I haven't seen any credible reports of actual gunfire at this point.
Of course, this could DEFINITELY change at some point (even while I am typing this).

you know how/why.
There are some livestreams on twitch following this, but I don't know if it's acceptable to repost those links. People have been sprayed but they are way more aggressive with the police than anything I've seen in the BLM protests.
Official Staff Communication
Events are moving quickly and it is hard to follow what's going on. We all want to be on top of the news. This is why it is important to check our sources and try to ONLY link to legitimate news sources. Please refrain from linking to random twitter accounts. Posts that have bad sourcing will be edited out, and repeatedly failing to check will result in a threadban. Failure to do so across multiple threads will result in a full ban.
We know things are heated and frightening, but it goes without saying that advocating for the murder of anyone will result in a severe ban.

Hopefully Democrats stay safe. Don't wish the worst for Republicans but this is the tide of hate & violence they cultivated for years rushing headlong at them so...
Law enforcement energy seems different towards these MAGA hats. I wonder why... I can't put my finger on it...
Trump Launched A Deadly Attempted Coup, Encouraging A Mob To Breach The US Capitol Building Because He Lost The Presidential Election
A mob of almost exclusively white Trump supporters took over the Capitol because they believe Trump’s claims that the election was stolen. A woman was shot and killed inside the building. <i>(Warning: This post links to images of nooses.)</i>

Trump supporters slam barricades at the Capitol - WaPo video
Just because its a clown shoes of a coup, doesn't mean it's not a coup. Hopefully in an equally fucked up alternate dimension they are actually calling this bullshit for what it actually is as opposed to 'Trump supporters'.

Be careful. Words lose power when you waste them.
Traitors might work, though I'm not sure most of them realize it. This is sad.
Install Trump as king or at least hurt the politicians they see as enemies probably.
boomers attempting a putsch to keep a game show host in power is certainly something i was not prepared for from my high school civics class
public education truly failed me

The amount of restraint being used on these terrorists lol
And people really love acting like racism don't exist.

US Capitol on lockdown
Police don't seem to have much urgency when it's the US Capital, but when it's a Metro PCS store look out.
Yep, this should not be closed. It might not be perfect, but the thread has to be open.
Members/posters, check your sources before reposing. A lot of live video is going to come from violent Trump supporters who are posting it to stoke further violence. SOmething might seem worth reposting but consider the stakes.
Stick to key sources, check verified badges, read their profiles before posting. If you've never heard of the "news agency" they represent, just hold off on posting it. There's no prize for being first, but there's real cost for signal boosting a violent insurrection.

Shouldn't we expect most of these nutjobs are armed? Is there safety precautions or metal detectors that would not allow guns on site?
