All House Office Buildings Locked Down. No exit or entry due to pro-Palestinian demonstration on Capitol Hill
From USCP: All House buildings: Significant demonstration activity, no entry or exit is permitted at this time. You may move throughout the buildings.

More of a police response than when Antifa and BLM toppled statues and tried to burn down the city in 2020.

State Department confirms they have the power to revoke the visas of Hamas supporters and deport them. Now they need to do it.

Capitol Police say six officers injured in the DNC protest, one arrest for assaulting an officer.
Spox for one of the groups leading the protest says the violence was “one-sided” by police.
A House Democrat told @Axios it “scared me more than January 6.”

'Scared me more than Jan. 6': Barricades spotted outside DNC after 'pro-terrorist' protest

Following what Capitol Police characterized as an illegal and violent protest at the Democratic National Committee headquarters Wednesday night, at least one demonstrator was arrested while six officers were left injured.
Several Democratic lawmakers were inside the building when the protesters arrived, barricading themselves in front of the doors to prevent anyone from entering or exiting the building.
One lawmaker said the protest "scared me more than Jan. 6," according to Axios. "Police were wearing gas masks. ... This was not peaceful."
Capitol Police revealed that injuries to officers ranged "from minor cuts to being pepper-sprayed to being punched." The protester who faced arrest did so due to assaulting an officer, USCP said.
There were roughly 150 people demonstrating outside the DNC, blocking Congress members from exiting, according to USCP.

Exactly my thought. Can't hold an insurrection without matching duds.

Protestors hold signs and chant slogans.
Riotous criminals assault persons and destroy property en-masse.
Those who stormed the DNC last night are criminals at best; terrorists at worst.
The Dems are reaping what they've sown. They've brainwashed generations of people such they have no impulse control, and are mentally unstable threats to civilized society.

Only one arrest, according to the Capitol Police press release (https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/uscp-statement-unlawful-demonstration-outside-dnc). *****rollingeyes*****
USCP Statement on the Unlawful Demonstration outside the DNC
November 16, 2023
Press Release
Last night approximately 200 people gathered in front of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters to protest the conflict in the Middle East.
We have handled hundreds of peaceful protests, but last night’s group was not peaceful. The crowd failed to obey our lawful orders to move back from the DNC, where Members of Congress were in the building.
When the group moved dumpsters in front of the exits, pepper sprayed our officers and attempted to pick up the bike rack, our teams quickly introduced consequences – pulling people off the building, pushing them back, and clearing them from the area, so we could safely evacuate the Members and staff.
Six officers were treated for injuries, from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched.
24-year old Ruben Arthur Camacho of Woodbridge, NY, was arrested for Assault on a Police Officer after an officer witnessed Camacho slam another officer into a garage door and then punch the female officer in the face.
Last night our team was quick, decisive, courageous and in control.
When demonstrations cross the line into illegal activity it is our responsibility to maintain order and ensure people’s safety.

Kind of what I was thinking, however, the genie is out of the bottle and out of control...they can't undo what they've sown. It'll only get worse until sane, rational adults enter the room and take care of this nonsense.

She was busy getting her groove on at the Gwen Stefani concert/fireworks show in Cali last night. Welcoming the Commie from China.
