Since the "riot" ended, 2 people have been forced to kill themselves because of the inflammatory statements by congresspeople and the press. When are they going to step up and take responsibility? 1 person definitely was killed during the "riot" and 1 more may have been. How many more deaths will the grandstanding politicians cause?

This was a relatively minor infraction, but the Dems are blowing it up into charges of sedition and before it's over they may even suggest firing squads.

People are losing their jobs for just peacefully attending the rally/speech. By the time this is over, they may all be labeled "domestic terrorists," and will be barred from airlines, and who-knows-what-all else. I can understand why someone would feel desperate enough to do this.

Arkancide has been expanded to Georgiacide, it would appear.

Who knows what kind of abuse he was subjected to, from neighbors, his employer, his wife, his children? Perhaps that support system was okay, but i suspect something else (other than a history of depression. Suicide, after all, usually nullifies a life insurance policy. It was said he love his daughters).
I have heard on local talk radio about a business owner who had called in to the show to talk about his experiences in DC on the 6th. He had not had any involvement in the melee. Within the day, he became to object of brutal internet attacks, like a bunch of rapacious hyenas, so bad that the man was in tears. It was excruciating to listen to this man who had exercised his First Amendment Rights became the target of self-righteous busybody minders intent on RUINING the man, his life with their ugly, sneering censorious "cancel culture" mania.
We may get an update today, i can only hope and pray that he has overcome the hate.
I take this opportunity to decry the behavior of Republicans in Congress who have joined, like lemmings, the machinations of the Leftist Democrats who have been on a bloodthirsty hunt for President Trump, for all of 5 years. And even after exonerations from false charges and atrocious concoctions, they hounded him, all the while ridiculing and disrespecting his voters.
Instead of calling for calm, condemning the insatiable craving for revenge against anyone who has supported DJT, they have done the opposite, and this is yet another insult on the Body Politic. It is inexcusable. They could have taken the high road, the FAIR road, after the President had been harassed by the hounds of hell for NO crime, grinding him down into the teeth of Cerberus, but they haven't.
Furthermore, they have left their colleagues exposed to the poison darts of partisan hatred and opprobrium.
McConnell could have risen above the corrosive atmosphere. He and others could have asked for calm and wisdom during days when the Republic needs men and women who care more about her than their momentary political advantage.
They could have demonstrated a deed of profoundest inner fortitude during these hot political times: thank the President for his many accomplishments on behalf of the American people (and i would say the Middle East, to, where ISIS blood-letting has stopped), call for a truce in the hateful attacks on him; ask for forgiveness, and give forgiveness.
They must stop the vendetta or else they will tear down walls of our great nation, not easily, if ever, restored.

Odd. How often do people commit suicide by shooting themselves in the chest? About as often as they commit suicide like Epstein by hanging themselves from a little chair...

Quite an extreme reaction for a dedicated family man with a steady job, versus a relatively minor infraction. Did he see something he shouldn't have?
