I miss the days when...

I explained this in detail already, multiple times.  Let me ask you this.  Though it was hard to tell the other day-- generally speaking, which has more security?  A Wendy's, a mom and pop coffee shop or the US Capitol?  Why do you suppose that is?  The US Capitol is the center of our system of government!  Burn down a Wendy's, they rebuild.  Somebody walks into the Capitol while congress is in session with a bomb, surveillance equipment or a fucking thumb drive with a computer virus.  Do you see what was at stake here? 

Terrorists don't care about Wendy's, they now have ideas about what it takes to circumvent security at the highest of high value targets: a MAGA hat and an American flag.  Then you can walk right in!  We don't know the ramifications of this from a security standpoint.  We may never know what was compromised.  It isn't about damage in dollars or lasting images of stuff on fire; it's much bigger than that. 

Thank you, this is all I wanted to hear.  It's what I've been saying from the beginning.  There's no defense for Wednesday's terrorist attack.  "Some people who lean a different way politically also rioted and destroyed property."  Yes.  And?  So now it's all clear for everyone to see that there are nuts on both sides who take things too far.  We've been over the BLM protests already, I don't ever want to hear about conservatives being the party of law and order and supporting police after what we saw Wednesday.  As you said, both sides are fucked up.
