Vast majority were peaceful, some pictures that were taken of some of those that stormed in were identified. as participants at a anitifa riot, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️. The key states had questionable actions on Election night and no one in government cares and no investigation. People are angry, but I wouldn’t storm the capital and unfortunately a woman was shot and later died.

Some folks are angry. I can understand that.

Storming the capital? Not a good idea.cry

The huge majority didn’t storm the capital and I hope that it is made clear and Trump did not call for any kind of violence and made clear in his speech to the crowd to remain peaceful.

It was peaceful until a few decided to break windows in the capitol. I have heard that a van pulled up with antifa who infiltrated the crowd, raising their shirts to expose the black & white antifa shirts underneath. Either way, it was a few who could out of hand, not the majority.

While I don't agree they should have gone into the capitol building, I have also heard from people who went in that the police allowed them in, even allowing them to go to the Senate floor. And from what I saw, they were obeying the roped off areas and very respectful, aside from a handful who did not act like the other hundreds of thousands who were peaceful. It smells off to me.

 I agree, unfortunately the media and Democrats are blowing It up to sound like Trump encouraged it, and making it worse then what it was, except unfortunately a woman who was unarmed was shot and died.

From what I understand, the woman was looking for the hallway which lead to the senators' offices and she was headed towards it when she was shot. Last I heard it was from a private security detail. It is very unfortunate, and she should not have been killed. Personally, I don't think anyone should have been inside, but I have been inside numerous times in the last few years and I am aware of the security. A lot of these people yesterday were not from around here and this was their first time at the capitol. When they went in, they looked like tourists and just looked around at everything. The woman most likely was not aware and maybe didn't even look up to see the signs on the walls and doors. Or maybe she did and saw where the speaker's office was or whomever and wanted to be heard. Either way, it was tragic, but in no way should Trump be blamed for this.

This is yet another distraction to avoid an actual investigation into the allegations of fraud during the election.

I have to say, I'm proud that people took a stand but am disappointed by the violence. I don't have a problem with them entering the building but it was pretty clear the police moved the barriers and allowed them in. When those guys lifted their shirts to show their colors, that's when police moved the barriers. This absolutely was an "inside" job and planned to yet again blame Trump and his peaceful supporters. Pelosi has repeatedly stated she would stop at nothing to remove Trump. I hope she rots in hell and even that's too good for her. 

I truly am so sick of this nonsense and the Dems, along with the MSM. This country may never see another Republican elected again with the Dems going this far to secure their candidate. I truly believe this is payment to Biden for his stepping aside for Clinton.

I could not be less proud to be an American with the Dems at the helm.

I feel sorry for the staffers who
have to clean up after this mess.

I am truly furious at FB and Twitter
for closing down Pres. Trump's
accounts. Looks like they are 8
year olds having a temper tantrum.
It shows how biased they are,.

The word "biased" doesn't go far enough for the left and the MSM with their hatred.

I totally agree.

How many of us (Trump
supporters) have been shut
down by FB? Twitter?

I don't do twitter or FB but what's going on in this country for the last two years or so with this election cycle is nothing short of deplorable and a disgrace. Our forefathers would be rolling in their graves! I truly fear for this country and the loss of integrity all around.

would not characterize what happened as a " riot "--no burning, looting, wanton destruction of property, deliberate assaults, etc--excepting those who were there for theatre and to cast the whole thing as a " trump incited " event, the participants were our fellow citizens from all walks of life, from all over our country attempting to exercise their right of " petitioning our "government" for redress of their(and our) grievances " --kudos to them

all of these events, stemming from the recent fraud/sham " elections " lie squarely at the feet of roberts--by denying 17 states and approximately 100m americans even a hearing with the unbelievable excuse of them having " no standing " he made these protests inevitable--he reneged on his solemn oath and, in so doing, not only revealed himself as a weak traitor but rendered our social contract void and scotus irrelevant as the court of last resort/original jurisdiction

welcome to the wild, wild west

 Agree, also I’m very disappointed with pence, he could have declined certfying the electoral and have the states in question audit the ballots.  I also read a post by someone who was there, that it was peaceful and everyone enjoyed themselve, basically a typical Trump rally and people were in the middle of leavin, when a van or bus pulled up with more people dressed in maga hats and shirt, and not long after that, the event happened, pictures of some people were also at anitifa riots.  I don’t know but I wouldn’t be surprise, and claiming Trump encouraged them to be forceful and encouraging this wasn’t true either, he encouraged them to be peaceful.  We no longer have a media that investigates and report the news, our media is a branch of the DNC.

 we Just witnessed a take down of the President,  they now want to impeach him again, their hatred is so strong that they also want to ruin his life, his family’s lives and punish his voters.

I heard the same thing from a friend and former co-worker who was there, too. It was a lovefest until the van pulled up. A former FBI agent interviewed on Newsmax conveyed that info while it was happening.

FBI and others had Intel that antfa and other extremist groups would be there. Even NBC reported that. Notice how no one else is covering that?

I heard it was to keep Trump supporters from getting violent. Thank you for the information.
