On reflection of the breach of the capitol building and the threat of the Chamber being breached, I cant help but look at the images of congressmen laying on the floor under benches, acting like rabbits waiting for the hunter to come and cut their throat.
Now some other guy playing victim, telling of how he tells his collegues to come Mingle and Hide among the Republican side. I really have to pause there and think, damn, these are the same people who decide to send
American troops into wars and other dangerous situations around the globe. What if these were the guys on flight
93? in the face of real terrorism? would they have acted bravely or cowered in their seats?
True not everyone was made to be a hero, but here was an entire chamber of our politicians and there was not ONE OF THEM... who took a leadership role, stood up and tried to come up with a plan to defend the man or woman standing next to him.
How about acting together to pull up benches and barricade the doors? finding anything to use as a weapon, block the doors and prevent people from getting in. They had no fight to save their own lives or the lives of the people they work with. Apparently not even one of them.
Now I finally see what priviledge really looks like.
