Der Spiegel International - "Those Who Incite Bear Responsibility"

Snip -

"The attack on the Capitol in Washington, D.C., isn't just an assault on American democracy – it's an assault on every democracy around the world."

Snip -
"The radical mob does not represent the majority in the United States. The vast majority of American voters stand firmly behind democracy and voted decisively against a right-wing populist. And it’s not just Donald Trump who needs to finally accept that. Every Republican with a modicum of responsibility needs to finally repudiate Trump once and for all. The American courts have ruled clearly that this was a lawful election. Those who disrespect that election result are disrespecting their own people."

How is it that the insurrection was planned on social media in full public view

and yet there was little security present at the Capitol Building on the traitorous day?

Am I wrong in thinking that it is only through sheer good fortune that other terrorist groups

have not stormed the US Capitol in the last 4 years (or any other time) and taken out a large cohort of our elected officials in an effort to destroy our Republic?
Yesterday's horror story is proof that the Capitol Building is insufficiently protected and its occupants, our elected leaders, are woefully vulnerable to attack.
How on Earth can this be possible? It's like it's all built out of sand and we've just been lucky rather than smart and prepared.
This is wrong on so many levels.
If Trump's dummies can do what they did yesterday, what happens when a professional group gives it a go?

Where the fuck are we?

Question: What would have happened if those who stormed the Capitol, climbed the walls

and breached the offices of our elected officials had been terrorist sleeper cells? Would the Capitol police have let them in, taken selfies with them and then escorted them out as though they'd just attended an open house party? I mean, if they were White terrorists? Or is it just that they thought they were good guys because they were sent there by the Instigator in Chief?

Gentle police presence as Capitol Building was terrorized by anarchists but brutal for peaceful BLM

protesters earlier this year.
Interesting that the Fraternal Order of Police and the National Association of Police Organizations were the ONLY unions that endorsed Trump's candidacy 2020.

There's a 6:00 PM curfew in Washington.

Why are no arrests being made?

For the record. Fuck You, Ted Cruz.

That is all.

CNN Live showed snipers on roof of Capitol Building.

Lawmakers told they may need to duck under chairs amid Capitol breach.

Impeach. Impeach. Impeach. This lunatic must not be allowed to bully America and the world. His ignorant minions will just have to deal with it.

If Donald J Trump is not impeached following this debacle, in addition to all his other

egregious offenses, we will appear as cowards to the rest of the world. Democracy must not allow itself to be bullied. We are either a nation that abides by the Rule of Law or we are not.
This is one case where to let bygones be bygones would be a grievous error.
If no one is above the law then the American people deserve to see the proof.
