For Many of Us, Jan. 6 Never Ended

For those who didn't experience the violence, Jan. 6, 2021, might feel like it's in the past -- but it's not for me. I keep reliving the five horrific hours of that cold Wednesday afternoon, as I tried to protect elected officials, regardless of their political ideology, and their staffs inside the Capitol building -- all without firing my gun.

I was one of the fortunate ones that day; nine people wound up dead as a result of the rampage. Two protesters had fatal medical episodes, one rioter overdosed during the uproar and another was fatally shot by a policeman while forcing her way into the House Chamber. One of my colleagues, 42-year-old Officer Brian Sicknick, suffered two strokes after the trauma of fighting off multiple protesters who sprayed him with a chemical irritant. He didn't survive. Four D.C. policemen harmed in the riots later died by suicide.

The bankruptcy-prone orange pedo built that.

Does Pence have PTSD after the orange pedo's supporters tried to hang him?

1 riot and he's got PTSD? Mentally unfit to be police.

What a whiny little girl this "man" is. They do a better job vetting cops in DC. He's enjoyed bonuses and a pension bump. He was well paid for his trouble.

The orange pedo has PTSD from being made airtight by Putin and Lavrov in Finland.

For some of us Jan 6th never happened.

Is AOC, who wasn't even there, still in hiding?

Is Ashley Babbit, who was there breaking the law, still dead?

#7 WE CAN AGREE ON THAT! Thank you!

Hey--supporting the police has its limits. Get over it...

I will never forgive the GOP or MAGA.
I will never forget what they've done to this country.
And I will NEVER trust them again with anything.

And no one will really care. It's weaklings like you who constantly whine and cry who lost the election for your party. People just grew tired of it. Try to learn from it and put your big person pants on.

Ah, FishP the Traitor.

No one could have predicted that the Trump Cultists would chose their Dear Leader over the Constitution, which clearly forbids a 3 time Adjudicated Insurrectionist from holding the Presidency.

Biden, since Presidents are now Kings with immunity, according to Trump's Crooked Supreme Court... Dark Brandon should just declare Hulk Hogan President.

That would actually be almost as entertaining for Republicans, and not quite as bad as Trump for Dems.... Hulk is actually of the human species.

J6 was a good thing in my opinion. It sent a message to the government that there is still solidarity and people are getting tired of their --------.

The dems want us to always remember this, but forget about: media.discordapp.net

MSG. The fact you get all your news from memes is so sad.

You really are an ignorant deplorable Trumping MAGAt.

You should be embarrassed.

But thanks to Social Media bringing all you morons together. You can be confident of your ignorance!

As long as you believe it to be true, who cares about the facts!

Trump never stopped whining and crying about 2020. He still hasn't. Is he a weakling?
