Unconfirmed reports say she died after her fellow rioters tied a tourniquet on her neck... That will kill a person.

Reports are coming out that they have now, indeed, activated the DC National Guard.

Hopefully they start rounding up and arresting these rioters.

Um no it’s not. At worst it’s an insurrection.

It’s just a riot


That is the confliction. There's no tanks or speeches from coup leaders. This isn't comparable to the Turkey coup, yet it's still disturbingly unprecidented to see guns being leveled at blockaded doors in Washington.

When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.

So patriotic they wave the flag of a failed dead state that lost the civil war. Might as well fly white flags whilst they are it. It was the last flag of the Confederacy after all.
