Is America burning? (Black Lives Matter protests, civil unrest and riots 2020)

American tourists do have form however:

US tourist throws scooter down Rome’s Spanish Steps, causing €25,000 damage

Incident at world heritage site comes fortnight after another tourist drove a Maserati down the steps
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

But from the material that's been coming out this sounds fairly mild


you still think not planned at all at all 8ball ? You seem to be outing yourself as a trump apologist. :eek:
 
This is the best idea I've seen - let the democrats push through changes at the same time.

AOC Calls for Expulsion of Any Congress Members Involved in Planning Riot

A report in Rolling Stone alleges that a number of GOP lawmakers were "intimately involved" in organizing the pro-Trump rally that later turned violent.

Eta: There's even a mechanism for it, from first comment on that article:

don't you really mean that AOC is demanding that we follow the law under section 3 of the 14th amendment Section 3 No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The article is a bit long but it has some interesting bits from a new book by Michael Fanone, the cop who was nearly killed by the Capital riot in 2020

The saddest parts of the book are almost certainly the interactions with fellow police. Fanone quickly soured on the FOP, which he felt had been too quiet about the insurrection. They hadn’t said the wrong thing per se, but considering how loud the union was with denunciations of anti-cop politicians, and how quick its spokespeople were to note stories of police attacked on the job, he felt the tone of their Jan. 6 commentary was oddly listless.

Leave aside the specifics of Jan. 6, in fact, and Fanone’s book is also a story about class in Washington, documenting the chasm between the national-capital VIPs who run the government and the hometown-D.C. folks who serve the drinks and staff the preschools and, yes, patrol the streets. These tribes exist in perpetually close proximity, but it can take a calamity to force them to interact: On Jan. 6, Fanone had plans to work a heroin case in a public housing project; he only became a public figure because a police radio alerted him to the mob at the Capitol.

The upstairs-downstairs vibe adds a certain tension to Fanone’s interactions with the high and mighty. He’s a reminder, just for a minute, that the capital’s somebodies owe their safety to a large cast of nobodies. (Fanone actually has a better sense than many of the divide between insiders and outsiders: As a teen, he spent a year at Georgetown Prep, the elite school that produced Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch; he was, um, “not invited back.”)
