It would have been remiss if federal and state officials had not made sure that there was the highest level of security for the inauguration. Not only was there a terrorist attack on the Capitol during the counting of the electoral votes, which the Congress is obligated to do by the U.S. Constitution, catching the capitol cops unprepared. But there was also an increased level of chatter on the internet indicating that more attacks could occur in DC and in state capitols on Inauguration Day. The previous administration had deliberately ignored, and perhaps facilitated, the rise of domestic terrorism for the last four years, and there already had been a plot uncovered to kidnap and probably murder a state governor.
Seriously, what did you expect? Our democracy had already been attacked. I live a few highway exits down from the 14th Street Bridge, which goes straight into the National Mall. You don't know how frightening Jan. 6 was, screaming at the TV about where the National Guard was, seeing the Marylanders and our Virginians finally arrive, and being put under curfew here on the Virginia side. Don't be a fool.
