The events that occurred on January 6, 2021 at our national Capitol are unacceptable and inexcusable.  I am still a loyal Trump supporter and I share absolutely no responsibility for the actions of the perpetrators.  They were not Trump supporters.

This Rally / Protest March was planned weeks ago.  Great detail was given attention so the event would not be violent.  The speeches were planned and subsequent talks were prepared for delivery at other locations.  This event was to start gathering at 7:00 AM with speeches following at 9:00.  The march to the Capitol steps was to be at 1:00 PM as the electoral votes were being counted.  There was no rioting, shooting or vandalizing that occurred up to this time and none was planned, encouraged or endorsed.

Along the route to the Capitol steps non-Trump supporters joined the masses of people and attempted to lose themselves in the crowd by blending in.  These intruders may have been Antifa and BLM activists, I don’t know.  I do know that in the near future we will find out who and what they were and hopefully they will be punished which is a rare occurrence for anyone in Washington, DC.

The persons in Congress that were participating in this made for TV special began to show their true colors and character almost immediately.  These people that scream for gun control instantly surrounded themselves with their armed body guards in grand shows of masculinity daring the intruders to act more violently.  How much of the violence could have been avoided had the Capitol Police reacted faster and more confidently.  It appeared the police drew back and split allowing agitator’s almost free access to the building.

There has been much discussion on the treatment of persons arrested compared to the treatment of the few arrested in the summer of Portland.  The situations were completely different.  The thug rioters in Portland and other cities operated with impunity from the authorities.  Media continually portrayed them as poor victims of an oppressing society while they killed, rioted and looted at will.  Yesterday media couldn’t wait to slander the legitimate protesters accusing them of violence before it ever began.  Hundreds of thousands of loyal, freedom loving patriots participated peacefully until between 60 and 100 intruders entered the act.

Let’s be truthful if we can.  What was done yesterday was wrong.  It was an embarrassment for our nation.  I cannot condone, excuse or offer alibis for the action but I will deny any responsibility for it.

My most fervent wish is that people that did vote for Joe Biden and socialism knew what they were voting for.  To be so informed most would have to have been self-educated, our public education system does not offer education but rather indoctrination.  This also is not acceptable to maintain a free society with a strong economy.

I truthfully regret these events took place and the subsequent loss of life, but I do hope the leadership of our government heard the voices of the people.  It will be hard to maintain law and order when we are governed by thieves, liars and cheats.  God Bless America and may we be strong enough to endure.
