It's more probable that Trump refused the national guard. This is a coup. No matter what anyone says.
 
Well, what else would the Army do there? That's what I was arguing before with @SirAF ... National Guard, Law Enforcement, yes... and it could potentially still turn violent. But active involvement of the Army pretty much guarantees significant casualties.

Besides its a bit moot unless it were to last for days, even barring the news that DOD is rejecting even deploying the National Guard.... would take several days for any Army or Marine units to deploy.
I suppose they need the National Guard to protect the Lincoln Memorial from some graffiti

You don’t think there is any way of pacifying them? Just let them get on with it and get bored?
 
There must be so much confidential information inside that building which some of these guys may well be able to access now. It’s incredible that this is still ongoing.
 
Mitch and Pelosi should make a joint statement to the Chairman of the JCS.
 
If the protesters had had any type of actual plan they could have taken that place in minutes given how long it's taken for the authorities to react.
 
Made me laugh listening to CNN saying. We are a nation of laws. Yet Trump as broken multiple laws without any consequences.

Yes there is, there's the usual tear gas, water canons (for outdoors), and riot police. That obviously should have been deployed from the get go to keep them out, and now will probably have to be deployed to flush them out... and it will take long, and it will suck, and there will be property destruction on the capitol, and there will be officers injured. But I don't think they need to revert to shooting at them.

The capital will now become a key target for militia groups/terrorist organisations.

It's not really been targeted before because everyone thought it was impenetrable.
 
So when is Twitter going to accept its responsibility in allowing him to incite violence
 
how are these cnuts being allowed to freely roam in the Senate floor taking pictures of documents there

Again, nobody is saying they should start shouting. The national guard is trained beyond pointing and shooting guns. They’re trained in CC.

So what about the person who supposedly shot an officer ?
 
Besides being unconfirmed yet, but I certainly wouldn't hold it against any LE at the scene that fires at someone they positively ID with a firearm. All I'm saying is that's not the entire crowd.
Good people on both sides?
