    Any other country would be deemed 'A failed state' by America, the simple truth is that the average American is as thick as a submarine's window.
    This situation has been on the cards for decades, Presidents assassinated, Apartheid prevalent and condoned well into my lifetime, an healthcare system that penalises the sick and poor, an education system that mirrors the healthcare system, a capitalist system that created the healthcare/education systems and above all the collective insular belief that the USA is indeed the world.
    Russia, China and other, smaller detractors of America will now be grinning up their sleeves at the irony of America sticking its nose into other countries affairs, espousing the need for democracy, when all the while ignoring it in the land of the brave and free.
    Sad, but inevitable.

    Yes exactly and what about the fact that some of them are gently waving flags in such an openly threatening manner. Scum!

    I believe it’s because DC is a federal territory and not a state.

    They don’t have a governor.

    Have they underestimated today? Foolishly? It was obvious something like this could happen, although not to this level, and it seems to have happened too easily.

    The defence department refused to help.

    Virginia’s governor has now sent their national guard to help.

    No way do I think Ben’s a Trump apologist. But if these were people of colour, they would be shot on sight, as potential terrorists.
    Timothy McVeigh claimed to be a patriot, remember..o_O

    This is what the Capitol looked like during a BLM protest.

    Truly scum. You are surprisingly accurate in your assessment. Well done you.

    Who do you mean by ‘they’? You can’t blame lack of foresight, mate. It’s been happening for 4 years. And nobody stopped him..

    Exactly mate, I can’t believe that news channels are faking this protest when all they’re doing is wanting a picnic on the lawn, I’m with you pal, 100% Trump is going to win this presidency, solidarity brother,

    I know they refused in the aftermath. I’m talking about before though? As in being prepared for this from first thing this morning.

    It would have been a bloodbath. I'm astounded that anybody could possibly think that armed BLM protestors would have got anywhere near the Senate chamber if they'd tried the same thing.

    The DC major requested assistance before and was not provided with it, is my understanding.

    Trump has to call them in, which apparently he now has done.

    They are doing a grand job of making us look lucky to be living here. We could see a civil war.

    Ah. I thought they requested it at the point this all started happening, rather than days before.
