White privilege has stormed the Capitol and it turns out it's allowed inside.
"The US Capitol is now on lockdown." - Kaitlan Collins, CNN correspondent.
"Protesters have breached the Capitol. They're outside the Senate chamber" - Igor Bobic, HuffPo reporter.
Just top to bottom batshit
"Another update: They've just disbursed tear gas in the rotunda and are telling members to put on gas masks under their seats." - Matt Fuller, another HuffPo reporter (I think, bio's not clear).
"They’re shooting into the chamber."
Definitely not a riot. Skin isn’t dark enough for that.
Fucking alright.
that but unironically
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
"They’re in the chamber. One is up on the dais yelling “Trump won that election!” This is insane" - Igor Bobic again
don't wanna accidentally any of their off-duty co-workers
Unless he wants a repeat of this clusterfuck every time the Nazis don't get their way.
Most of them are white men
this shit is going to get people killed
VERY normal
don't you worry, they'll let all these guys go and then fire actual guns into the crowd the next time people gather to protest police murders
hitting hot metal with hammers
Possibly not:
tweet text: I heard an officer say "shots fired"
CNN reporting both protestors and police are armed; the police in the chamber definitely have guns drawn.
Like yeah, of course Trump egged on a mob to literally storm the senate, and of course the police aren't doing shit to stop it, that makes sense
And honestly the fact that my response to all this is "yeah that makes sense" is almost scarier than the actual events, because it kinda starkly reveals how hollow and theatrical the entire fucking government and political process is?
Like, you look at this happening and instinctively know two things: 1) this is fucked up and should be treated a huge deal, and 2) literally no one in a position of power is going to do a single thing about this. Sure, concerns will be raised, there will be a few somber pronouncements or whatever, but any real action, real consequences?
Nah, they're just gonna try and ignore it until it goes away on it's own.
Someone is going to fire a shot and a lot of people might die.
They all suck at least. Let the cops and nazis shoot each other.

it's really so strange
they must be out of tear gas or something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but you repeat yourself
