    I have always stated that violent extremists on both sides of the spectrum are a problem.

    National Guard at Capitol Authorized to Use Lethal Force in Aftermath of Mob
    The dramatic escalation in authorities granted to the 20,000 Guard troops stationed in D.C. is only the latest response to last week’s massive security failure.

    "On January 12, 2021, National Guardsmen were given authorization to be armed in support of the U.S. Capitol Police to protect the U.S. Capitol and individual members of Congress and their staff," according to a statement from the D.C. National Guard, which is commanding Guard forces in the city, including units deployed from six other states, to provide security for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week.

    A defense official confirmed the authorization includes permission for Guard troops to use lethal force.

    The request came from federal authorities and was approved by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy – who oversees D.C. Guard deployments since the District is not a state – indicating it was not a request from the local government.

  4. So, lethal force authorized to protect the Beltway types.

    For the rest of us when the mob makes the rounds to our area, we have defunded police departments who refer your emergency call to the newly hired brigade of aromatherapists who will come right by and administer essential oils.

    That's what happens when local police can't stop shooting and killing unarmed Black and Brown people...you win stupid prizes.

    Be sure to try the lavender oils.

  9. We've come a long way since Kent State, eh? We're also now making distinctions between mobs.
    I ain't saying they shouldn't have authority to use deadly force, but I remember a whole lot of leftist hand wringing last summer when the same was proposed to repel the Antifa mob violence, which to date has done more damage to property and people than the current band of lunatics. Only difference is party affiliation, and now it's the fed elites rather than the lowly local and state governments and businesses. Nice to be royalty.

    Ah, the peace loving, extreme liberal Democrats. With them in charge, what could go wrong?
