Good to see the Police have learnt about de-escalation, that is the one positive to come out of this.
I assume that will be their go to response going forwards too. Right? Right?
I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
Which is what I am
I aim at the stars
But sometimes I hit London

Yeah, read that again.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I feel like it should be harder to get in to the capitol of the most powerful state in the world*.
* at time of writing
New dreams of gold mixed with chaos of old
Should at last be as one in my hands
Alliance abounds but how heavy the crown
That unites the devote of these lands
Just throwing this paragraph out there:

When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Wait what the fuck

Wow - this is a stunning news report embedded from within the protest.

All it took was an insurrection
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
It was implied that they'd talking with Pence. 25th probably not a good fit though.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
The women who was shot by police has died.

I think it's that scene from Apocalypse Now where Willard first arrives at Kurtz's camp

I remember how surprisingly easy it was to get into the Capitol and to roam around in it. It wouldn't surprise me either that they didn't improve security a lot since I walked around for the simple reason that they're too stingy to spend money on anything governmental. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump actively prevented reasonable security being in place, as it were his 'lovely people' storming Congress.
Congratulations America
When Blair was PM the 'Fathers for Justice' protest group stormed the Commons - and after getting in everyone was a bit bewildered about what to happen next. I don't think they thought they'd get in, they did - and were then like "oh - now what?"
Thankfully that was treated like a bit of a joke, because it really was a peaceful protest group that did it and not someone more threatening. This is not the same thing today.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Ostensibly, you're SUPPOSED to be able to get in, as they're just representatives of the people. Really it's because they don't want to inconvenience the lobbyists (many who are themselves former Congress-critters) and the special interests they're trying to solicit for campaign support. I rather thought a mob would be treated a bit more circumspectly though. . .
