Those doors were locked for a reason....the same reason I lock the doors at my home each evening. The personnel that work in our nations capital are not armed, but the security is and they did what they were hired to do - protect.

I feel bad for that woman and her friends/family, she was likely caught up in the excitement and with cameras rolling, she was showing off as is all too common on social media. She made a bad decision, one that cost her everything....

Change does not happen overnight, change does not happen because of violence, and if you want change - you VOTE for that change.

Trump is to blame for this insurrection and the actions that ensued.

Were the police to blame for the riots in Minnesota? Or were the rioters to blame for the riots?
