Speak Up: Delaware legislators recall chaos of Capitol riot, call for change

Posted

One year after the insurrection at the Capitol, memories and emotions of the chaos and trauma endured are still fresh in Delaware legislators’ minds.

  • Wonder how many of your readers were there last year and are just hoping no one noticed. — Dale Bert
  • There were a lot of peaceful protesters there from Delaware. — Bob Hice
  • Oh? Were you one of them? What’d the inside of the Capitol building look like? — Dale Bert
  • No, I wasn’t one of them. Why would it matter? American citizens are allowed to protest, just like antifa, BLM and all the Biden supporters did the entire summer prior across America. — Bob Hice
  • Because he was protesting something he believed in, you automatically accuse him of a crime? Typical lefty. — Donna Williams
  • American citizens are allowed to storm the Capitol building to terrorize the electoral-counting process? You do realize we’re talking about Jan. 6, not something else right? Trespassing is a crime. Terrorism is a crime. Disrupting government processes is a crime. Incitement to violence is a crime. Beating up police officers is a crime. Why are you against law and order? — Dale Bert
  • No one burned or looted the Capitol. And by the way, how’s this Biden thing working out for you? — Bob Hice
  • Remember that guy literally stole the podium. Laptops were stolen. Lots of stuff was taken. That’s called looting. — Dale Bert
  • Too bad the former president didn’t back the blue that day. — Dale Bert
  • Just imagine how the people in Seattle and Portland feel after years of it. — Steven Robert
  •  It seems the Capitol police could have handled security better than they did. There is something missing from this whole event we’re not being told. — Ronnie Yoder
  • Literally moved the barriers and waved ’em on in. — Kime Rutledge Hill
  • And yet, 140 police officers were injured. What a handful of officers did does not represent what all the others did. — Dale Bert
  • They want you to focus on this instead of the massive failure this administration is. — Mike Campbell
  • And you spew BS like this to deflect from the fact that the failure of a former president lost an election, then treasonously sicced a mob of his followers, who also failed in their attempt to overturn the will of the majority of Americans and threatened the very government our nation was built upon. — Gary Greer
