Yes we did. We needed a mob of out-of-control rednecks to storm the Capitol of the United States of America and loot the building. We needed for these necks to “take possession of the Capitol,” in the words of Brian Williams right now on MSNBC. We needed to see Capitol police and D.C. metro police, some of them in riot control gear, “stand back and watch” as these violent Trumpazoid shitheads, every single one of them white, ran through the Capitol waving Confederate flags, grabbing everything that wasn’t nailed down, including the podium used by Mitch McConnell himself on the floor of the Senate chamber. It’s absolutely clear to me that we needed to bear witness, once again, to how law enforcement reacts when domestic terrorists who are uniformly Caucasian riot and steal and break things and shoot a woman inside of the Capitol building itself, as compared to how they act when, for example, a black man named Jacob Blake, attempts to get into his car with his kids in the presence of several law enforcement officers.
The woman who died was shot by Capitol Police while storming the building.

God bless the state of Georgia. I never thought in my life I would write those words, but I write them and proudly stand behind them tonight.
We needed this. Now some arrests?
