We are-
#1. They KILLED A COP- so there is one less person in DC trained to respond to these situations.
#2 The fact that they were let in and let out and had little to no resistance from defense forces, shows that our system is and can be corrupted.
#3. We do not know who these people were and what their purpose of going there was. Have offices been bugged? We national security secrets stolen? Prove to me they weren't.
#4. The fact there was little to no repercussions as of yet, has empowered more of these looney toones to try again. Have you seen the posts being shared about their plans on the 19th? Trump just declared he won't be at the inauguration, wonder what is planned to go down?
#5. In the immediate future, and certainly true on the 19th, the removal of the leaders of the capitol police (which should happen due to their epic failure) has weakened the command structure for the next several days/ weeks/ months until replacements can be installed.
#6 Our standing throughout the world took a major hit making it harder to protect our interests at home and abroad.
#7 Boy, if I was a foreign nation waiting to attack, now would sure be a good time to do it.
#8 People we able to get through with cuffs, guns, and other weapons, they showed its possible and how to do it.
#9 It has put all of our future elections at risk for further tampering.
How does this not register for you?
1) as opposed to all the police killed in the summer by both leftists and right wing militia people. Hmmmm.
2). The fact that we found that out with a band of morons playing weekday wannabe revolutionary vs finding out when a more advanced threat possibly (hopefully never) tries actually will make things more safe for the future.
3). Those assessments will come shortly I’m sure. I live in KS and will not be able to prove s#!t. Try that schtick on someone else
4) Video is a wonderful thing and will hopefully aid in further arrests. That is a failure by the policing agencies and exposed a weak link that can be shored up and again make things more safe by changing protocol.
5). I don’t know what you are talking about with respect to the 19th but will look it up. I agree that command leadership will be a disruption, but are you not glad those people are no longer in leadership position? Knowing what you know now about them, wouldn’t you want them out? If the answer is yes, again that leads to change and a more safe environment because of exposure to Incompetence from a few days ago. I have no doubt plans are put into place to secure DC for the inauguration.
6) I can’t speak to if we are less safe abroad. No idea and no way for me to know
7) I guess we will see shortly if you are correct.
8) and so you think the Government will just so “darn, they made it through. Too bad we can’t adjust and fix what happened. Hope they are nicer next time”. Or will protocols change this making us safer.
9) How so? While I agree that the objectors are nonsense and Jan 6th should always be what it’s designed for, a ceremonial end to the election process, this all started in 2000, then 2004, then 2016 and not many people seemed to throw up much of a stink about it.
