Well, the neon revolt post proved prophetic. Pence has cast his lot with his swamp creature masters. A pity a man who had taken such pains to appear godly caved in cowardice, despite the behest of Republicans in PA, and doubtless helped by the agitators who turned a million person rally into a riot of a few hundred for the cameras. I suppose we could claim it was "mostly peaceful", but I think that line has been used by more violent factions and the MSM would never buy it without flames and communists at their back.
Unfortunately, that will lead to the persistent meme that Conservatives (anyone not at least a knee-jerk Democrat, anyway, if not a rabid Leftist) are the violent ones, a lie which will be repeated until Conservatives are either disarmed (it's coming if they can) or so angry that incidents become much more common, even without the bused in ANTIFA agitators and agents provocateur. Suddenly, the Left stands behind the police, for shooting an unarmed (white, female) 14 year AF veteran, who, judging by the video was the smallest (physically) person in the room, and likely trying to get through the window because she could, and those around her would be too large. Funy, none of the police behind her grabbed her by the backpack if they wanted to stop her.
The other thing I noticed was our erstwhile Senator Kramer, on the news locally, talking about the incident, and looking like he had been barely missed by the still spooled up engines of a crashing 747. Visibly rattled by his experience, or at least appearing so, which tells me he never would have made it in the oilfields, or any of the dangerous jobs his constituents engage in daily when policy doesn't unemploy us.
Senators should be made of sterner stuff, and maybe they'd have the guts to fight for our Rights instead of cave at the first scent of danger. There were a lot of angry people there, to be sure, but if they had intended to do people harm, they'd have started with the police, overwhelming and disarming them and using those arms against them.
That simply was not done. There were no fire bombs, bricks, water bottles full of ice, nor even the use of what was at hand as weapons against the vast majority of the police there. The nature and causes of the alleged 50 odd injured police have not been released, and the one claimed to have died, did not, and may have had a stroke.
None of these people are accustomed to the violence common even a few blocks from the Capitol, much less the ongoing anarchy in American Cities this last year (which persists in some places). I'd bet the gift shop wasn't even looted for souvenirs and postcards, mush less the stores in the vicinity.
Yet the Media have pumped the riot meme tirelessly, setting the stage for the next round of Rights robbing and violence against Conservatives, while babbling about "healing". They can tend to the beam in their eye before they worry about the mote in mine, and for that matter in the eyes of Conservatives everywhere. They even deleted Trump's tweets for calm and peace and to stand down from Fecebook and Tweeter, platforms I will leave very soon, as they are overrun with leftists dancing on the apparent grave of the Republic. Ecclesiastes 3.
It's coming.
