This could be worded better, . '... a video showed a woman shot dead while journalists, Congress members and staff hid.' Maybe this: a video showed a woman shot while trying to breach a barrier that protected Congress members from the mob'

Now they laid siege? They went in (trespassing) the broke stuff (vandalism) and took stuff (theft) and when the President and Biden said leave, they did. All in 3 hours.

So homeboy ran away...he's a hero for running away. Sweet.

No one is above the law. If podium stealing rioters can be arrested, so can Trump. There is no law protect a President- just DOJ policy. Ask Comey!

As humble Heroes do.

Now THATS A PATRIOT ❤️

He is the perfect example of American excellence

🙄🙄🙄🙄 Of coarse he does

I was initially critical he wasn't doing more to stop them. I quickly apologized the next day when I learned why he did what he did. True hero we need more like him

C’mon, he’ll speak when ready.

pressenterprise this could be news worthy?

society if the people he was leading the mob away from had half his wit

A hero & a patriot. Thank you. Officer Goodman.

Because a true hero... Does not toot his own horn.

Eugene Goodman is a real hero. Quick thinking, courageous. No doubt he saved lives. The domestic terrorists--- deceived by 45 and like him, turned on our country.

There’s something a little too silent though

Officer Eugene Goodman deserves a medal of Freedom not Jim Jordan!!

More good news please(((

I don’t blame him. These ppl are brainwashed psychopaths.

The meek & peaceful have been exploited & vilified for 12,000 years. Yes, twelve thousand. Don't look at what's happening in America today to be an issue localized to our sinister history. The scope has to be broadened to address the demon of supremacy.
