I Watched The HBO Documentary - Four Hours At The Capitol - Last Night About 1/6 Storming.....

and insurrection. Very compelling. I'm sure I've seen some of the footage for the first time while watching.

I was surprised that many of the comments basically glorified the insurrectionists as 'patriots'. I was surprised at the slant of the documentary.

It really was a sad day for America. It was clear to me that Tr**p incited the crowd and didn't do anything to quell the riot sooner.

Then when Tr**p actually did speak up - he was complimentary to the rioters.

I don't know how anyone can watch a docu like this and not want to hold those people behind this insurrection accountable. They have to pay for this or the next time this happens (and after watching this - there will be a next time) - we might actually lose the building and our democracy.

I wish they had some footage as to Tr**p's reaction to this insurrection in real time. I see him as being gleeful while watching it.

I found myself flipping the channel because it was too rage inducing. So disturbing how truly disgusting and sick that mob was. Pure evil and against American Democracy. Just the worst people among us, lost of all humanity and love of country, craven fiends. Each and everyone deserves to rot in prison for decades, shame we aren't seeing that.
