who do I blame.

I blame those who violated the law. those who attacked the security forces, those who broke down barricades and doors and window. those who trespassed after being told not to.

that's who i blame.

but..... the security response was very poor. they let a few hundred unarmed people completely take over the House and Senate chambers. appeared to me that the Capitol Police were more there for show than anything else. "my, what pretty uniforms and polished holsters".

the problem going forward is what is Congress going to do about this? More fencing to protect them, yeah, understandable. how about the rest of us? more armed and trained officers, also a reasonable response. at what point do we just turn DC into a reverse prison. you can only get in with special permission, and every movement is monitored and recorded. oh, you want to see your congressman? you'll have to apply and wait 6 months for permission.
