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

Unless he's talking about gunfire this shouldn't be the phrasing to use right now

The person on C-SPAN talking about the tweet used the phrase "live fire", I think that's what he's talking about

 

[mistersensation]

Hoping and praying for no bloodshed. This is crazy.

 

[SpookySpice]

It sickens me to my stomach to see the clear disparity in the response between this Maggat terrorist attack and a BLM protest. Not sure why I am surprised at this point. Protestors lose their eyes to rubber bullets while terrorists take selfies in the nations capital.

Who knew it was so easy to just occupy the capital..Jesus.. Were they not prepared for this??

What kind of numbers and resources do the capitol police have? If they surrounded the capital with riot gear / military / national guard beforehand, wouldn't that have immediately escalated the situation?

Clearly the situation escalated anyway, but it seems like it may have been a no win situation.

What is going on

 

[Threadkular]

I understand evacuating Pence but get Harris out there next thing

 

[RulkezX]

The question isn't how the 20 cops present can't stop the thousands gaining entry, it's why they're were so few cops there in the first place

 

[Lord Fanny]

Police reform is definitely coming after this. No way anyone in fear of their lives right now in those chambers should stand for this.

How did the county let a fucking dipshit broke reality TV star do this. How.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

If the 25th isn't invoked after this, are we even a fucking sane country anymore? (we aren't). Fuck this disgusting president and everyone who supports him.

 

[Relix]

Banana Republic. Thanks GOP.

I'm saying if it were us blacks we'd be in worse trouble. These people shouldn't have even made it to the doors. This whole situation is crazy.

Starting a fascist takeover cause they can´t take the L.

 

[Eeyore]

Fuck the media.
Fuck Republicans.
Fuck the police.
And most of all fuck Donald Trump for being such a loser.

This is fucking pathetic beyond belief.

Saw this was also mentioned on CBS stream


Explains everything tbh. This was all part of the plan

 

[Putzballs]

Holy hell I can't believe this. How on earth does this end without violence?

Trump has completely fucked America

 

[Aardvark Barber]

There are people with guns drawn in the senate chamber what the FUCK

 

[AGoodODST]

Christ, insane to see.

 

[Video Kojima]

This is escalating rapidly.

 

[Maxim726x]

Calling it, this wasn't tweeted by Trump.

Click to shrink...

Sure it was.

This is his MO.

Step 1) Incite something
Step 2) Tell people to stop doing thing that he incited.
Step 3) Deny ever doing step 1.

 

[Deleted member 11976]

Seriously. If just a few had guns or a backpack bomb you could see blood inside the capital already.

All you need is someone there who has a singular goal and thinks that anyone (read: absolutely anyone, MAGA-affiliated or otherwise) that gets in the way is just collateral damage.

I think they are all under the protection of the Secret Service at this point. Trump, Pence, Biden, and Harris.

Traitors. It's no surprise it's come to this tho.

 

[Friskykillface]

Please protect AOC :(

Let's try to reach this people. A good compromise, half a coup.

 

[TheJackdog]

cnn reporting house members have been given gas masks

 

[Thorn]

At this rate we need counter protestors willing to fire back.

The police have basically let these people do whatever they want.
