I genuinely wonder what happened that they DIDN'T use any of those things. Trucks with assault rifles, molotovs, poor bombs. None of those were used for some reason..

Maybe this is the reason why the policing of the riot was so light. Remember, there were many thousands of well armed hooligans there. It could have turned into an absolute bloodbath with many on both sides being killed. As it was, the event passed off with relatively few casualties, though of course even one death is too many. As it is, many of the rioters are even now being arrested and I hope this will continue and that the guilty parties will be given severe sentences.

Not convinced about that reasoning to be honest. The rioters getting their hands on members of congress was WAY too close a call for it to have been an intentional, planned strategic decision. Or if it was, it was a really bad one.

That guy looks a bit like Salah in a beanie

Arrest Salah! Just in case.

Arrest Salah! Just in case.

To be fair, Salah's political views are equally abhorrent.

One of things that baffles me is you hear Arnold speaking and you know he's already better than almost everyone Senate on the Republican side and, yet, he still considers himself a Republican. I don't understand how he can still call himself one afer seeing what it has devolved in to over the last decade..

My thoughts, very brave of Arnie, as we all know he could make a lot of enemies and has put himself as a target. But we need more of these high profile stars to stand on the side of truth and democracy .

This is what I was talking about when I said there were two distinct groups of people in DC on Wednesday. Largely it was just a bunch of morons who were there “doing for the ‘gram”, but there was a totally different, smaller group whose intentions were obviously far more malevolent.

Didn’t he get photo’d a few times wearing a Waffen SS death head belt buckle and once said he admired Hitler in an interview?

There needs to be a detailed investigation into the reasons for the delay, hopefully Miller is called to testify in public.
