The events at the Capitol in DC had a massive impact on the lives of all who were there both the rioters and those who were trapped by them

In a video interview this week with USA Today, [Chuck] Schumer described the moment.
Im on the floor of the Senate at 1 p.m., to count the ballots, my first time as putative Majority Leader, I havent even given a speech, he said. About an hour later, a police officer in a bulletproof vest, submachine gun strapped across this vest grabs me by the collar like this. Ill never forget it. Senator, youre in danger. We got to get out of here.
He feared for his life not just as a senator, but as a Jewish American of prominence.
Had one of them had a gun, had two of them blocked off the door, who knows what would have happened one of them was reported to see me and say Theres the big Jew, he said.

It will please more than a few to see someone like him lose his life.
