understand, sure? I also was disgusted by what happened over the summer and was pretty vocal about it. So you are preaching to the converted there. References to that in some attempt to justify, minimize or equivocalize what happened today fall flat for me. In fact, I would think that if one were truly offended by what was done by the anarchists, it would be all the more reason why they should be even more disgusted by similar, repeat behavior from these people.
What sets this incident apart from others is that it was dementedly created and manipulated by one sick person who invited these people in huge numbers to DC (it’s going to be wild) and then incited them to march on the Capitol knowing full well what would happen. He was also nowhere to be found in providing any security response to what he helped create.
It was a uniquely disturbing and disgusting thing to happen in our capital, and it truly did sadden me.
