Ummm, their is a qualitative difference between the Columbus Nike store getting its plate glass smashed vs rioters intentionally and with purpose beating the crap out of uniformed federal police on the steps of the Capitol of the United States of America in their zeal to stop the peaceful transfer of power in those United States. Think of portent. Think portentous. Think apples to oranges.. "Look at the damage done by the BLM rioters"
Duh!
Why would either Sergeant perceive a need to?"So he didn't request the NG from the mayor."
After all, these were Trump Supporters. Patriots. Good responsible citizens. Some of 'em active or retired police. In DC to attend and listen to speeches at the Ellipse. They surely would not be at the Ellipse to "be there, it will be wild"?
- And, they were over 2 miles away at the Ellipse.
- And, there was no announcement nor permit requested or issued for a march to the Capitol.
- And, neither the Administration, the Trump Campaign, and the Ellipse Rally organizers notified the Sergeants at Arms of either the House or the Senate that Don Trump was going to send his supporters at our legislators.
- And, the Sergeants could hardly know that DTrump, Fredo Trump, gal pal Guilfoyle, and Rudy G., and lawyer Eastman, and Senator Tuberville, (in his ballistic vest, no less) and Alex Jones would rile up and anger the crowd and send 'em directly at our legislators.
Maybe if -------maybe if, a permit had been applied for by any of those connected with the rally....maybe if someone in the White House would have called the respective Sergeants and given them a heads-up ....or hell, just given a heads up to the city that thousands of Trump Supporters were gonna be directed down 2 miles of city streets....well, maybe things would've turned out differently. And those 140 officers would not have been beaten-up, windows and doors wouldn't have been destroyed, maybe there wouldn't have been Trump Supporter's poo smeared on the interior of our Capitol, maybe the Trump Supporter Babbitt would be back home with her parents?
Duh! x2
