[quote=Anonymous]1/6 was not an insurrection and we are not in the throes of a civil war.  The behavior of those people trespassing on federal property and fighting with uniformed police is appalling.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion but to commit criminal acts on the Capitol grounds is inexcusable.

I see 1/6 differently.  All those various Federal agencies and LE forces, and they can't secure the Capitol complex?  After 9/11 these guys don't have plans/protocols to secure the doors/entrances and evacuate members of Congress and staff?  Once that crowd/mob kept growing the building should have been secured.  There is no excuse for the ineptitude of maintaining security of the building.

Obviously bringing over the members of the National Guard from the DC Armory (1.4 mi away)  would have been beneficial in creating a perimeter around the building.  What about all the Federal agencies in DC, the alphabet soup, FBI, DEA, Customs BP, Park police, ATF, US Marshals....how come these sworn Federal officers didn't muster at the Capitol building.  Everyone could see the events unfolding on their tvs/monitors.  You didn't need a number equal to the crowd just enough to secure the entrances and begin making arrests. This isn't the focus of the current narrative of 1/6,  we don't hold the Federal bureaucracies accountable. [/quote]
