Let me answer your question with a question: this is what happened in 2018 at the supreme court. Look at it, and ask yourself honestly and realistically what would have happened if those doors had been forced open. It's only luck or incompetence that separate these two incidents. So what should have been done back then when this occurred?

And just to clarify, as CNN themselves describe in this video:
"Protesters opposed to Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the US Supreme Court swarmed over Washington -- massing at the Capitol, disrupting the confirmation vote in the Senate and banging on the Supreme Court building doors when Kavanaugh arrived to be sworn in."
That is an interesting comparison. To form an opinion, I would have to study that situation in comparison with 1/6/2021. Maybe someone has already written a comparison.
You might also consider looking at Jeremy Lee Quinn's footage of the day at PublicReport.org I listened to an interview he had with Bret Weinstein both of them to the left on Weinstein's YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFJdjO0fD4E&t=8314s&ab_channel=BretWeinstein It's long but given he was there, it offers different conclusions than the MSM/Twitter checkmark crowd. I listened to the whole thing and since the Covington high school affair where high school kids were accused, doxxed, and cancelled by MSM and social media for being racist, I've learned to place all events in context by committing to finding different perspectives and looking at footage without it first being interpreted by media/checkmark dolts. RT is also good for that as it streams live of unfolding events without all of the hysteria.
No thatтАЩs not the point. If you want footage that has not been curated look beyond CNN and MSN etc. I read that CNN is now calling these people American Al Queda and that we all need to fear another attack. ItтАЩs absurd and scary bc Americans are vulnerable to groupthink and will allow more and more civil liberties be taken away in the name of security.
In America we are all afraid someone will take our civil liberties away. Both sides of the political spectrum are afraid of that. The difference is that Republicans think the Democrats will take away their civil liberties and Democrats think the Republicans will take them away.
Right now Democrats are thinking that if Trump's people had taken over the Capitol, Trump would stay in the White House and he would then take away their liberties. That is why they are expressing so much fear about the people who broke into the Capitol.
Meanwhile Republicans seem more and more afraid that the Democrats will take away their freedom. But Democrats really do not want to control people or take away their freedoms. Why would they want that? Democratic voters do not want more control by the government any more than Republicans do.
If those "insurrectionists" had gotten farther into the Capitol, do you think there's some Central Control Room with "Levers of Power"?? Or do you have something more Wizard of Ozish in mind?
"Trump would stay in the White House", lol. Where do you get this crap? Brian Stetler? Haaahahah!
And the Dems DO want more governmental control if it can be made certain that they will be in control of it.
No, your whole post is at a 10-year-olds' level of naivete.
Thank you for that link. All I can say is that there was adequate security that day and no one got in. I don't know anything else. One other point: no one in the crowd was wearing military-style gear. But the key point was that the security forces kept the crowd out. On 1/6/2021, the security forces failed.
You'd be 100% right in that conclusion if this was being generally discussed as a security failure. But it's being hysterically described as an "attempted insurrection". But then, by that standard, how was the 2018 Supreme Court protesting not also an "attempted insurrection" but with better security? People were obviously trying to stop the functioning of the federal government, and there's zero reason to believe that if those doors opened everyone would have just politely stood at the doorway :)
I'm fine with people taking either stance, as long as they're consistent and take the same stance in both cases.

Would you have a few minutes to summarize those video reports as you see them? I have a lot of other video I need to watch first.

That is an especially dim-witted take.

This comment is just random junk thrown together. Troll bots are thriving here in this substack. At one time I thought better of Matt Taibbi.

That is a very good, very interesting point. Thank you!
