I don't think I can hope for anything good at all after this.

As Archregimancy said, if this was happening anywhere else we would be discussing how much of a failed state that country was.

Someone has literally been shot and they have stormed a government building in an attempt to overturn an election. This goes far beyond ¨venting frustration.¨
