Wow, this is utterly bizarre. Trump supporters have turned Washington DC into scenes one is more used to seeing in third world country coups. Completely absurd, the Capitol being stormed by these semi-terrorists is one of the most insane things I've seen in quite a while, at least in a (so-called) developed country.

It’s complete fucking chaos right now.

Typical US drama bullshit. Then again Douglas MacArthur and George Patton didn't suffer any backlash for siding with Hoover during 1932 Washington riots :p  If this was 2021 MacArthur's and Patton's military careers would be over.

Only someone who doesn't know history would consider today's actions as somehow important :coffee:

It is funny how you manage to downplay even what is basically a terrorist attack by anarchists by some nearly century-old example.

 

:lol:

Hey, those progressive liberals want to clamp down on police authority so obviously anarchists will rise when the system gets weaker. Besides USA upholds gun laws from 18th century so my example is totally fresh in comparison :p

I’d be careful sharing Tweets like this. I haven’t seen these allegations confirmed yet, just this one Tweet reporting it. 
 

ABC shared this image saying that officers have drawn their guns, but no confirmed reports of any shooting yet.

It was more about the photo, which says enough by itself.
