Protesters on Capitol Hill call for Gaza ceasefire

U.S. Capitol Police say demonstrations are not allowed inside Congressional buildings and are working to clear the crowd as individuals chant "ceasefire" around the building.

If only Americans cared this much about issues in America

[zebrastripes]

I just hope that the national media will focus on this protest for the next two and half years while ignoring inflation, immigration, crime, education, energy, public health, and government corruption.

[RecoveringAhole]

So these people are going to be treated just like the people on Jan 6, right!?
RIGHT..!?!

[Mr.V-]

Protesting inside Capital Hill, you know for the last 3 years I was told doing this counts as an insurrection so will any of them be serving time in jail?

[lorddeathspit]

Must be nice to be able to protest without going to jail.

[letsgobrandoniagree]

So now it’s not an “insurrection”? Arrest them

[tripstar]

Charge all of them with the same charge as the Jan 6th crowd.

[warriormonk]

How did this happen? You can’t even hold up a sign outside the capitol building without being harassed by police

[kevinlee]

How come these criminals are not arrested like Jan 6????

[billiep]

They better be charging with INSURRECTION. This is an insurrection !!🤬

[JamieBar]

Wonder how long it'll take for this to be labeled an "insurrection."

[tohellnbak]

so... serious question... how is this allowed? I thought any type of protests inside the capital was illegal... or that is what they have been saying for the last 3 years

[pgadarelpgadarel]

Looks like an insurrection. They all need to be thrown in jail.

[delftbrown]

This is an insurrection, they need to be convicted

[jahmes_]

Why are these “protestors on Capitol Hill” and not “violent insurrectionists”?

[susangardner]

It's an insurrection..throw them in jail for 3 years pending trial.

[thekentuckyrifleman]

This is an insurrection and I expect the DOJ to prosecute every one of them without mercy or favors. Maybe two years in solitary without a trial

[Sandypetr]

Anybody else notice this guy is hesitant to call it the Capitol building, right at the beginning of the video? 😮

[Paul-lmgv]

*Is the FBI looking at video to identify the insurrectionists? Will they be put in jail WITHOUT BAIL for over a year before even being brought to justice? Will ANY of then be sent to prison? Answer to all these questions: NO! Bec. there ARE two systems of justice!*

[roosterr]

Americans, we live in an era where our politicians don’t represent the will of the people. Is this democracy?
