For Many of Us, Jan. 6 Never Ended

Monday, January 06, 2025

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.

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.
