This is why this thread is still open.
Whenever there is terror, then it is important for everyone to be able to say how it feels. This was very important for us in Norway, when a terrorist tried to blow up our government buildings, killing a total of 77 people that day, including shooting and killing 69 young politicians at the island Utøya back in 2011.
This is the only reason why this thread is still open, even if I have to work hours with cleaning out propaganda and fake news about the socalled stolen election, and others to blame for the chaos.
A recent IPSOS poll today in USA is saying that 80% of people in USA do condemn the terror in D.C. yesterday. Still, 18% said it was ok what they did. I do not have the exact source but that is what TV channels here in Norway are quoting.
Our news readers call the intruders "Donald Trump's hooligans". The Mayor of D.C. call it text book terrorism. We don't want it. I did not sleep much tonight, because I love USA and the US people. Hopefully there will be healing and understanding.
To quote Mike Pence speaking as senat leader tonight: "Let's Get Back To Work".

I highly object to what milehigh is dishing out. Just because he didnt come right out and say go to the capital break in endanger people and in fact cause four people to die (even though they were involved), doesnt mean he did not make it plain and clear that was his intent. And intent is the point of all laws here, or most anyway. It is clear he had the intent to incite a riot if not an overturning of the government itself. Apologists like our friend milehigh here are exactly the problem: leaning on generalities and acting like these people are acting in good faith or anyone's best interest other than their own is a big mistake. And a mistake that some people make over and over despite having their faces rubbed in the shite continually as a result of their naivety and willingness to believe the unbelievable and pardon the unpardonable.
Now lets see if there is any real justice in this country. It has been proven many times over the past 4 or 5 years there is not, so i expect that trend to follow.
I hate those people more than i ever thought myself capable of. It hurts too, believe me. But someone has to pay and that someone needs to be high up and take all the followers with them to show that perhaps no one is above the law after all.
Fat chance of that happening.
An aside: i just saw Barack Obama's book in a store today, the photo on the cover nearly brought me to tears, and that is highly unusual for me. We need to start honoring and respecting that man for all he put up with and attempted to do. Large statues in his likeness are in order to replace the ones of the racist south that are being torn down, finally. He is a true American hero and there are not many of those around anymore.

Dear BV!
Why this on IORR?
I don't think this has anything to do with IORR.
Please close it!
