Adi Explains It All: The Capitol Riots

January 6, 2021.  Especially if you live in the States, it’ll be one of those dates that live on in infamy.  A bunch of Donald Trump supporters, spurred on by calls for “Trial by Combat,” and the fervent belief that the President of the United States supported them, did something that hadn’t happened since Canada burned down the Whitehouse in 1812 (Yeah yeah, Canada was still a British colony at the time, but I’m still not wrong).  They stormed the Capitol building where the Vice President was leading the House in affirming Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States.  Humans who had been conned into believing the election had been rigged (I ain’t gonna call them protestors, and if you do, just leave my site now), stormed the building and absolutely trashed the place in the fervent belief that they’d be able to overturn the fair and balanced democratic process.  The only ones there to stop them were a Capitol Police Force that was woefully unprepared for any kind of rioting and were denied assistance from the National Guard that they so desperately needed.  Granted it didn’t hurt that a bunch of the insurrectionists were current/former police and military who thought the idea of being legally racist was just great and didn’t want to give that up.
