As a Foreigner, could you describe to me whats going on at Capitol Hill? (i.e. terrorism, patriotism, riots, anarchy, firm protest, media making things worse than it is)

Cops allowing a bunch of rioters to attack the citadel of democracy? I read on Twitter that if for example black people did such a thing, the cops would shoot as many people as they could.

P.S: I'm a complete foreigner.

Lol... :P you're not foreign to planet earth. 🙈 I know what you meant it's just (Smh....) 2021!? Yeah, Sure... We may be across the pond but if your citizens did the same for equivalent reasons you'd see it for what it is. Media is pronounced and shines a huge lights to events that if not seen could be forgotten or rewritten by history. We on our own make things worse when we can't be civil ...Lol -We as humans are sometimes insane? All over the world, there is tragically potential for groups to act out for any given reason. I won't be surprised if news pops up globally of other nations facing these types of uproars.

Easily-lead bovines were easily lead by their painted guru to do his egomaniacal bidding.

Protesters gathered outside the capital. A handful got in. No one was armed as far as I know and 4 ppl died. 3 heart related and one woman was shot by the capital police. What they did was illegal but not terrorism.

It was a protest that turned violent, windows were smashed, stuff was stolen. Four people are dead because live ammunition was used to put down what was a relatively tame riot by 2020 standards because it happened at the workplace of rich politicians instead of poor business owners.

It's like Dr Frankenstein creating a monster and then losing control of it, but unlike Frankenstein's monster, this one has learned nothing of humanity

Basically, trump summoned a bunch of mentally ill individuals to do his dirty bidding.

Trump and a few other Republican dipshits encouraged violence while doubling down on false claims of election fraud (see court rulings). Asked people to be there then didn't send adequate security, capital police was overwhelmed and couldn't hold back the crowds.
