Give them cots!

Britain solved this problem long ago, in fact, when, in 1714 AD, it introduced 'The Riot Act'. All Gov must do is read that act, intact, & crowds disperse, no matter how packed! America's 'leaders' arguing against this merely detract from justice,& should, God-willing, be sacked.

Democrats and Republicans: WAKE UP CapitolRiots Staged

I can't stand this riot either! The main culprit, Jade Sacker!

Without these workers we don’t eat. We have to do better.

You can't avoid what's meant to happen

GOP lawmakers say they are afraid for their safety if they vote against Trump or for conviction. Who cultivated the people they are afraid of? Oh...right. They did.

White supremacy at its finest.... if only they did the work to dismantle it... none of my business. America allowed this to happen... 🤷🏾‍♀️

Bye bye Disney

May the truth come out ASAP who were the Congress co-conspirators who collaborated with the white supremacists.

Notice the difference in level of protection between the politicans and We The People. Smh CarryOn

It makes sense that the votes of the members of gouvernment should be secret ... This is the only way to act according to your conscience and not according to your fear 🤷🏻

Comment-Is it a self-made program that TV often does? Will CNN's photo reporter break into the Capitol and be interviewed by Scoop? CNN makes a case and reports?

我们要民主,要自由!

Everybody needs to find some courage and stop running scared.

Hype it up. where was this energy for several months of BLM? You did the opposite. played the riots/lootings all down down down. Now you act like they never happened.

With that many troops there, I'd actually enjoy watching a Trump riot try getting started. Pepper-balls in the eyesockets for everyone!

Its probably your boy john sullivan

Was CNN involved in the riot?

I think it's pretty revealing that Republicans are complaining about being treated like ordinary people and being made to go through metal detectors. They're so elitist that they actually think it's a violation of their rights to treat them like ordinary people.

This is all a bunch of bull shit

Squash the insurgents like the bugs they are.

thanks

This is called intentional killing,😂😂 not salvation🤔🤔
