It looked peaceful to me until the coppers starting shooting the Press.
Australian journalist hit by 'rubber bullet' while reporting from LA https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c98p008kxn1o (and some British one) I doubt Fox-shit and the rest didn't report that?
A couple of cars set on fire and the national guard gets sent in illegally to fan the flames of the autocratic orange crime lord - to distract from all his other mad and illegal shit. That shithole America is like Nazi Germany these days.
Odd they didn't get sent in for this?
Called to action by Trump[47][48] on January 5 and 6, thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington, D.C. to support his false claims that the 2020 election had been "stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats"
The FBI estimates 2,000–2,500 people entered the Capitol Building during the attack.[59][60][61] Some participated in vandalism and looting.
Pipe bombs were found at the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters, and Molotov cocktails were discovered in a vehicle near the Capitol.[70][71] Trump resisted sending the National Guard to quell the mob.[72] That afternoon, in a Twitter video,[73] he restated false claims about the election and told his supporters to "go home in peace"
Of the 1,424 people then charged with federal crimes relating to the event,[90] 1,010 pled guilty,[90] and 1,060 were sentenced, 64% of whom received a jail sentence.[90] Some participants were linked to far-right extremist groups or conspiratorial movements, including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and Three Percenters,[91][92] some of whom were convicted of seditious conspiracy.[93] Enrique Tarrio, then chairman of the Proud Boys, received the longest sentence, a 22-year prison term.[94] On January 20, 2025, upon taking office, Trump granted clemency to all January 6 rioters, including those convicted of violent offenses.
On December 23, Roger Stone's group Stop the Steal posted plans to "occupy just outside" the Capitol with promises to "escalate" if opposed by police. The event was largely funded by Trump donor Julie Fancelli, heiress to the Publix supermarket fortune, who budgeted $3 million forand spent at least $650,000.[106] Fancelli's funding, via conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, was used to reserve the Ellipse. With Fancelli's funding, a robocall campaign urged people to "march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal".[107] Jones claimed the White House asked him to lead the march to the Capitol.
On November 5, two days after the election, leaders of the Oath Keepers began communicating about a "civil war". On November 9, the leaders held a members-only online conference in which leader Stewart Rhodes outlined a plan to stop the transfer of power, including preparations for using force. The Oath Keepers planned to store "an arsenal" with a "Quick Reaction Force" (QRF) in nearby Alexandria, Virginia. The leaders planned to procure boat transportation so bridge closures could not prevent their entry into D.C
The weeks preceding January 6 were filled with predictions of violence by Trump supporters. The attack was later said to be "planned in plain sight", with postings on social media even planning for violence on January 6.
Commentators had long feared that Trump might provoke violence after an electoral loss.[h][130] For weeks before January 6, there were over one million mentions of storming the Capitol on social media, including calls for violence against Congress, Pence, and the police.
Some rioters[t] and 174 police officers were injured, of whom 15 were hospitalized, some with severe injuries.[36] All had been released from the hospital by January 11. Some 10 people died as a result including policie offices
Now, that was an insurrection and full riot with deaths maiming and the likes.
Donald Trump may have broken a Latino voting record for a Republican candidate in his 2024 presidential victory. With 42 percent of this bloc’s vote according to AP projections, Trump bested George W. Bush’s 2004 performance among this demographic, which today accounts for about 15 percent of the total U.S. voting population.
Lationo's own your shit almost half of you voted for Trump. What exactly did you think the madman was going to do?
