Scenes from January 6th

When I think about January 6, 2021, I get a visual in my head of all the videos of it that I have seen. I see a bunch of Capitol police opening gates and doors to allow tourists inside. They all went in probably thinking this is public property just like many other buildings in Washington D.C.. If we are tax paying citizens that's not a far fetched belief. Of course, the videos from inside the Capitol conger a few more drastic thoughts.

A scene from inside shows a guy that looks like a member of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes inside speaking with police as if being guided on a tour of the building while he calls others patriots. He looked more like he was going to an audition for Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs but somehow he had forgotten his maracas or bongos. I did see a scene in which small group was watching people go in freely, but they had to break that window, although it wasn't necessary since the door was already wide open. However, there was a dark violent scene in which an unarmed female was shot by a Capitol police officer. Later on, I discovered she was a 36 year old military veteran. That was a tragedy.

In closing, I have heard different versions or interpretations of what I saw, but they sound like a narrative someone wants me to believe instead of what I really witnessed in those videos.
