The video of her on the floor was reminiscent of Bobby Kennedy. Arms tensed and up.

Please cite one court cases to prove these laws.

Pretty certain the taxpayer owns all the buildings in question too.

For what it's worth, got this from a neighbor who was there....

For those of you that were not in DC today it was a beautiful day a lot of love...everyone started early 5 am by 7 am was seas of people all different Nationalities .. Family’s with children.. there was prayer, music speakers and the president... we all stood for 6 hours in the freezing cold.. no water food only if you could fit in your pocket.. no back packs no knives no poles.. secret service checked everyone , no lighters either.. we met and spoke to the greatest people all different but the same.. same beliefs but good loving salt of the earth people. After the President finished his speech we all walked over to the capital.. We were all ready were told of the busses of Antifa that unloaded and what to look for.. The mayor cut off everyone’s cell service Tuesday night and Wednesday no communication.... as we got close to the capital.. we were hearing that there was storming at the White House.. Antifa broke in smashed things and were dressed in trump gear but off gear.. there are pictures on line and I’m still hearing more people have died.. For those of you that aren’t educated on Antifa/Black lives matter.. they get their funding from the democratic-party..a Marxist group their job is to destroy and conquer.. that’s where this began.. millions of patriots were at the capital to support our President and stand up for our rites..this was a well planned set up,others for sure were pulled into it .. it’s a shame such a good thing had such evil doers. .. But the devil moves among us..God Bless those who lost their life today..

No one has made mention yet, but recall that Trump stated anyone vandalizing Federal property would get 10 years minimum. This could get interesting.

Retreat is all that the police did during the riots in Portland.

They made a huge mistake and just emboldened the rioters. They should have crushed it right from the beginning. The mayor is finally coming to his senses and authorizing the police to do just that. Whether or not it happens, remains to be seen.

Agreed there was no visible weapon at the time of the shooting, but there are many more ways to cause harm than using a handgun or a knife.

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.
Wrong.

Wrong again. The lies, conspiracy theories and gaslighting have all come from the left.

She sacrificed her life for nothing. That's the saddest thing of all. Kind of like being the last US soldier killed in Afghanistan or Iraq.....just useless, needless death.
