Violence at the capital is not an appropriate solution to our problems and will not result in a more beneficial end. Grievance and issues are resolved through voicing one's opinion and engaging with their fellow countrymen/women in constructive ways. While imperfect the legislative process does allow for "discussions" on how to handle affairs in our country. One group doesn't get to force their values or opinions on others without a process of input and discussion (This is also why we want our officials to share their opinions and vote their conscious to ensure we don't have group think). We debate and discuss in this country....and use of violence will quickly derail that process.
If we are to maintain a single free nation then we must not use violence, domination or hate to force one's will on another. The process is clunky and long to help us discuss ideas and not get caught up in the spirit of the times. While we may need to act quickly sometimes it is the adherence to democratic principles and our Constitution that makes us American.
Its kind of interesting that you can read the documents online. You can even see Richard Barnett's Department of Justice filing. If you remember Richard from the pictures he was the one sitting on Nancy Pelosi's desk. I guess if you read through them all you would have a pretty good understanding of the chaos at the White House. 😟
You can see the court documents and click on the names of those charged HERE.
For example in the statement of fact for Barnett you can see some of the descriptions,
"In the course of my duties, I learned that an individual entered the restricted office area of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and took photographs with his feet propped up on furniture. Those photos were circulated on numerous news media platforms which identified the individual as RICHARD BARNETT of Gravette, Arkansas. Capitol Police searched ........." HERE
