I'll be honest, I have not watched footage of January 6th for about a year. Really tough to see it again. I have vivid memories of that day.
Right now, as I watch confederate flags and people shouting 'Hang Mike Pence' steam into our nation's capitol building, all I can say is this:
The police and National Guard should have shot every goddamn one of them. Fucking animals.
TheCommentWoman
I know it would’ve made this all so much worse after the fact, but I agree, they shoulda opened fire the moment those dipshits trespassed.
morninggloryshade777
THIS MUST NEVER HSPPEN AGAIN. KNOW THEY ARE PLOTTING ANOTHER ATTEMPT!!!!
fuckthisishard
Nah, that would have martyred them and made things a lot worse.
AdamGenesis
A real black eye in America history.
IG1Fields
The Capitol Police protecting our democracy/constitution on J6 deserve the National Medal of Honor. I would have shot those insurrectionists
KILLERCHROMATIC
And they probably would if the people had been black
stltim
YES! Fuck that is what I was screaming the whole damn time. If EVER there was a cause to fucking shoot it was Jan 6th!
stltim
In fact given the history of the US police force. HOW the hell, did only one get shot?! Seriously!
Dannyalcatraz
The ones who MOST need to see this won’t watch or believe it. Hopefully, though, the undecideds & non-voters will wake up.
zHurk777
Watching some of the new footage, I couldn't help but wonder why didn't the police shoot them? At least w rubber bullets.
SwayzeS
I'm glad the riot was quelled without the need to open fire on the protesters, but I do hope it's recognized that Trump & Co. are TRAITORS.
OmEqualsMC2
Someone spread actual shit on the walls of congress. Actual shit. Patriots, my ass.
darkoshen
I said the same thing on 1/6 2021, while watching the insurrection live, "why aren't the cops shooting? Are they too WHITE?" S hi t.
JustAPileOfCats
The new footage of the coup riot is terrifying. I don't know how these hearings are going to change things.
FuzzyX
Never before seen bodycam footage did bring all the violence that day up close and personal.
GrumpyOldMillennial
They won't. Democrats have no power, and Republicans feel totally justified in their actions. We will Saber rattle until the next news cycle
Pentjotal
The police and National Guard should have shot every goddamn one of them. Fucking animals.
DanceWithMePlz
Shit makes me so mad. Trump needs to go to prison for life.
SirReginaldFeatherbottomIII
It was treason. He doesn't need prison, but America needs him to be held accountable to survive, this can't become the norm for losers.
majorminers
The reason the punishment for treason is hanging, is because it's an erosion of reality. A destruction of process. Hang him!
OmEqualsMC2
Firing squad.
Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvtttt

Lol! The downvotes! Get fucked, Trumpbots. Your day is coming.
BulkSausage
Dude this post and comment have been up for over an hour with only 5 downvotes. You can't post a cat pic without getting 5 downvotes. Chill
McPuffinStuff
You had my upvote until this comment. I love downvoting whiny adults.
MarsIsAfire
lol
comhood
I mean, you did say shoot them all. Some were armed, sure, but I didn't see guns on all of the insurrectors. Start with tear gas.
ActionJohnnie
Or fire
flacoloco
im looking at moving abroad, cant stand this shit
ColdCast
Yep, right there with you. Getting my licensing recognized in the EU right now, just in case.
thermodaemonics
I'm staying to fight. If the far right takes the US to a fascist dictatorship, it's not clear there'll be anywhere safe on the planet.
BassMonkeyBravo
I don't think your country is that fucked but i respect the hell out of your conviction to fight for what you believe in. Good on you.
burlyqlady
You do realize Americans living abroad file taxes and vote right? We're a voting block the size of NJ.
TheGaryBuseyOf4nal
I feel the same. I know the US isn’t the world, but goddamn some of us have to put our foot down somewhere. The similarities with/

/ Nazi Germany are too many to count and I’m not about to be one of the ones who didn’t do enough to acknowledge the horrifying problems.

"The first nation the nazi invaded was Germany"
tpanyS
If you watch the videos closely you'll see why they likely never engaged lethally for two reasons 1) Many of the rioters were armed, (1/?)
tpanyS
and 2) worse even MANY of them had their children with them, almost literally tied on to them or clutching onto them as they ran in (2/2)
stltim
But not even a warning shot!
tpanyS
A figurative handful of cops to thousands of protesters, many of which were armed. You believe most of them would have been paying (1/?)
tpanyS
enough attention to tell something was only a warning shot? I don't know if that I would have trusted them to be that attentive. (2/2)
stltim
I don't fear army man cosplayers. If they were gonna use those weapons they would have. They sure didn't hold back with the bear spray
