What happened was stupid. One officer was beaten to death and another committed suicide following the incident. Armed protesters don't shoot, they know the consequences. A rioter without a firearm is more dangerous than a protester with a firearm. The U.S. Capitol hasn't experience such a raid since the War of 1812.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that what they did was not right and I think it was more peaceful it would have been better. I sincerely hope that the new president can unify the country as we are to divided.

# data[].attributes.body
I think peaceful protest are much better than what's happening now. And Trump isn't even trying to stop it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think peacefully protesting is always ok because of the 1st amendment, no matter how controversial your opinion is you should always have the right to express that opinion, however this was not ok. I feel like the President had a big part in this as well partially because he encouraged this, and partially because he did not dis encourage this when he saw the riots get out of hand.

# data[].attributes.body
Like some other people said, it was very childish of them.  I think this is not worth people dying.

# data[].attributes.body
This was just sad and ebarrassing. How we have reached this point in our country is just unbelivable. These people really did belive what they were doing were right and that's what was scary. Hundreds of  were so blind to their own stupidity that they decided to storm the capital without a second thought.

# data[].attributes.body
This was embarrassing, uncalled for, and stupid. Storming the Capital over something as simple as losing. people lost their lives and were put in danger, but for what?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the protesters had a terrible reason for storming the capitol. It's fine to be disappointed that your side didn't win but protesting like this is not right. This isn't solving anything.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't understand how Trump is able to witness this hot mess and sit there and tell ALL  of America that he enjoyed it and was proud.  I am extremely embarrassed for the people and for this country. I also can't even attempt to comprehend how this was handled by the police. This was radical and just plain embarrassing...

# data[].attributes.body
This is embarrassing for me, for Trump supporters, and for all people of the United States of America. This is childish, shocking, and shouldn't have ever happened. These are Trump supporters, so I believe that Trump should've told them to stop doing what they were doing. I also think that the police should've responded better to begin with.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this was very uncalled for, and the people who raided the white house should not have such a bizarre reaction, when the government has not done anything unjust.

# data[].attributes.body
I was very scared for the people in DC.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that that the difference in police presence between this and the BLM protests is disgusting. At the BLM protests people were protesting peacefully and were faced with unnecessary amounts of violence from police, where at this riot at the capitol, police were taking selfies with the rioters and encouraging their behavior. This is a clear example of the white privilege and racism that still plays a huge part in this country.

# data[].attributes.body
This is very embarrassing for those people.....lmao

# data[].attributes.body
I don't understand how people think it is ok to storm the capitol.  I also think it is a very good example of white privilege.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this really shows how Trump's messages really do divide us instead of unite us. This shows how many people really do believe these conspiracies, disappointing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was irresponsible and very immature. It was not punished or handled as it should be and it is a really good example of white privilege. I understand that you can stand up for your beliefs peacefully, but violence and destruction is an awful way to protest for something.

# data[].attributes.body
its embarrassing...

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this protest was uncalled for and disrespectful. If you want to protest there is a peaceful way to do it. Not by rioting and destroying property.

# data[].attributes.body
Why would they riot? Its not gonna make anything better for them.

# data[].attributes.body
the first thing I asked my mom is "Is this like when in the hunger games when the districts raided the damn.

# data[].attributes.body
- This is an example of white privelige and the protest was very dumb and embarrasing

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was highly disgraceful. Storming the capital, disrespecting leaders, and causing damage to the capital is highly embarassing. This is a very good example of white privlage.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is crazy and the people are just doing all this for nothing

# data[].attributes.body
this is why I say the government was is corrupt

# data[].attributes.body
this was kind of expected today just proves that trump should have been out from the beginning

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, this was uncalled for. A protests of this magnitude was a disgrace, especially due to the fact that the president supported this even though he knew the election had been long over.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like this is going against everything America stands for. We stand for peace, liberty, and a new life. That's the American dream. Not these riots, not Trump, and not white privilege. We are better than this. We are more than this. And we shouldn't stand for this.

# data[].attributes.body
I could honestly go on about this but overall, I wonder how other countries think of us and how ignorant and stupid this was over Trump loosing. It was very inhumane and I think Trump didn't do a very good job of handeling it. He let it happen and the police at the Capitol literally let them in.. and he refused to send the national gaurd so Mike Pence had too which was way later after the riot started. And not to mention we're in the middle of a pandemic with thousands of people there with no masks.

# data[].attributes.body
embarrassing

# data[].attributes.body
II think it was embarrassing and I think they took it to far.

# data[].attributes.body
It's embarrassing to be American...

# data[].attributes.body
That was just wrong, and they didn't do it for any reason except to show that Trump lost. There is no way that he would have won anyway and it hurts him even more if he wants to get reelected later. Though it is unacceptable that he stood there watching for a while instead of doing something acceptable and actually stopping it from the beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
Its very unprofessional that trump egged them on to break into the capitol and to riot inside. Then later during that day Trump made a response. All that is because he lost the elections.

# data[].attributes.body
This does not make sense to me at all. I think they went to far I think peaceful protests are fine but when it comes to other peoples safety i think it is unacceptable.
I also think no matter what they did it would do nothing to change the votes and what it said is done.

# data[].attributes.body
Ok so this is honestly this is just a prime example of white privelige. Because the police just let them through. I find it very unsurprising that the the president let them do this because of the way he runs this "great country". If it were black people who did this we would not have even gotten to the gate. This is not6 a "protest" it is a riot.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's crazy how people were able to get so far into a government building without being noticed by security.

# data[].attributes.body
I think everyone has the right to believe & stand up for what you believe in but.. rioting in general from both sides(republican & democrat) is not ok. The event that took place from yesterday was disgraceful. This is tearing our nation APART & it is not solving anything!

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly a waste of time, and just full on stupid. It's not going to change who people voted for, and it's not going to suddenly make Trump our president. All this proved is how our past as a country is still with us, no matter how horrible it is.

# data[].attributes.body
The White supremacists call it a "protest" when they were clearly rioting. When BLM were peacefully protesting for BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS they would call us "violent" and "Intolerant radical leftist". The police reacted totally different to the white supremacists rioting then to BLM protest. If you think this acceptable and revolutionary you are the problem. This is a perfect example of white privilege.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was dumb, its over the election is over and I think trump should be removed from office and also ted cruz

# data[].attributes.body
Okay, this is completely unacceptable.

First of all, this was not a protest. Regardless of political view, this was a direct assault on the democratic process. This is something that happens in transitional democracies, not in America, the original democracy.

This is disgraceful and scandalous. I understand protesting for what you feel is right, but this is not protesting for what is right. This is an insurgency against democracy, which is completely inadmissible and the protesters should be reprimanded, as should the President who supported this rioters.

Donald Trump. The president of the USA, the world's largest democracy, endorsing these mobs. The sheer magnitude of this revolt, with fighting, tear gas, and firearms, was uncalled for and completely frightening.  This was immature and completely unacceptable.

How is it that a peaceful protest for BLM is called rebellious, while this insurgence is supported by the leader of the free world? I feel that nothing could can come out of this. The protesters knew this when they rioted, but the pushed the fact aside and just continued to wreck havoc.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that first if all, it was wrong of Trump to influence this protest, and then soo many people came. It is one thing to protest to get your point across, but they took it too far. They were violent and disrespectful. Also where were all the officers and people to stop the protestors . They all came for the blm protest. The protest yesterday was disappointing to watch.

# data[].attributes.body
Very unacceptable. They put the safety of the innocent senators at risk. Not okay at all.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's embarrassing that all these people are living this lie. It's embarrassing for the government because they didn't take it seriously, the protesters are embarrassing because they are living a lie. I believe Donald Trump committed treason for encouraging them.

# data[].attributes.body
Very inhumane and not okay

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the protesters went way too far by going into the capitol building and causing danger to the people inside.

# data[].attributes.body
Not very smart

# data[].attributes.body
Rage and disgust.

# data[].attributes.body
Regardless of what you think politically, this is illegal. I have added a link that shows the laws against this.

I think that it is outrageous that the president not only let this happened but  encouraged it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that peaceful protest and everything like that is fine, but when it becomes violent and illegal, then it is a problem. I also think that here race has an effect with these types of protest. It makes my question the protection we have.

# data[].attributes.body
Most people were peacefully protesting, I am not arguing that breaking in the Capital is bad and that there were bad apples. The thought that it was a mob is wrong because most people were peacefully protesting and there were bad apple from ANTIFA, but they were mostly peacefully protesting.

# data[].attributes.body
storming the capitol was just too much

# data[].attributes.body
Its fine if they were just outside but when you start breaking in and bringing firearms to an area full of important people. it becomes outrageous

# data[].attributes.body
That people would actually do this is so disrespectful an unlawful. I mean, breaking into a government building and threatening people!

# data[].attributes.body
This is super hypocritical. When some people from the Black Lives Matter protests were looting, those Trump Supporters called all of those protesters looters, gangsters, and thugs. Now they are looting THE U.S CAPITOL and stealing valuable, historical things. It would've been one thing if they stood outside the Capitol to protest, but it's completely different when they trespass. Regardless of politics, trespassing a government property is illegal.

# data[].attributes.body
That was bad. I thought hoomans were better than this. Bruh.

# data[].attributes.body
A Disgrace

# data[].attributes.body
This was seriously disappointing for me when pro- Trump supporters marched in the Capitol building with firearms and other stuff. All this destruction is partially Trump's fault, but mainly the people's fault because Trump told them to raid the Capitol building and they did it.

For example, if Trump told them to jump off a cliff, they would do it?

This was horrible, you cant call these protest when you are harming other people. Some one died for no reason and people got hurt over a baseless cause of voting fraud that did not happen.

I think it was unprofessional of Donald Trump to start and influence the destructive rally all because he lost.

I think a peaceful protest is completely fine but breaking into the capitol is too much.

I'm fine with them peacefully protesting but breaking into the capitol building is taking it too far.

# data[].attributes.body
It was not peaceful, it was dangerous and harmful. Which is no longer a protest but a riot.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that it was sad that somebody actually died. But i'm glad that they blocked trump's account because he was the one who started it all.

# data[].attributes.body
If you want to protest. Protest without breaking in the capital hill and if you protested there's no proof it is rigged. You will not always win

# data[].attributes.body
Well, I can't believe this is happening in the U.S because they've seen this happen in a third world country but not here. Overall, I'm glad that they blocked trumps social media accounts and I'm also glad that the mayor of DC put a curfew to 6 o'clock.(Even though it took a lot of pushing and fighting)

# data[].attributes.body
The protests were an immature way of voicing the Trump supporters opinion on the supposed voter fraud. The situation wasn't handled well by police either.
