Capitol Riot Hearing Shows Domestic Terrorism Is Alive And Well In U.S. | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

We do know why the authorities were not ready. We do know why the authorities do not take domestic terrorism seriously.

[DavidJ]

What happened on January 6 was the definition of domestic terrorism.

Domestic terrorism is defined as: violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/ or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, or racial nature.

[DavidJ]

The Oaf Tweakers who stormed the Capitol thought they were going to start a revolution that day, the same way their hero TMcVeigh thought he was going to start a revolution.

[dianahulstine]

I want to know why none of those terrorists were arrested that day?

[Simgor]

Well after January 6, we know all too well who the leader of domestic terrorism is.

[merriemelodiesfan]

They keep comparing this to the BLM stuff. The difference is that this was a lot worse than that as we're getting further details about it since it happened.

[JohnWick-czhf]

WOW we need to address this domestic tourism I hope law enforcement can deal with it because it's going to be tough on them I wish them good luck

[jeanneamato]

So what is being done about these domestic terrorists? Inquiring minds want to know.

[rigormortis]

So, they had to hold a hearing because we couldn't see it on Jan. 6. Already then.

[konradyearwood]

I believe "Alive And Worrying" would be a more apt title.

[suzymoon]

Evidently Ron Johnson (R-WI) didn’t even watch any of the videos ...

[nottiification]

We really need to change our laws so that they can be applied to rich white men.

[danozomatli]

A disgusting and evil place has been attained by the evil politics of my country.. I'm so proud to be American right now. 😞

[margo]

I keep thinking of the Congresswoman who called her husband on 1/5 and told him where she kept her will. I don't buy it, that these people didn't know, or if they truly didn't well then, they're too obtuse or oblivious to be effective police officers.

[nathanielanderson]

There are people who just want to live their lives and be left alone, and then others who want to start problems. If something happens and we need to survive, we will have to work together. Every man for himself is not good.

[rgwak]

2021: White domestic terrorism is alive and well.
1995: Hold my OKC bombing
19th Century: Hold my lynchings

[jlocey]

Malcolm Nance chats about this insurgence months ago. A must watch... Malcolm Nance THE DYSFUNCTION DISCUSSION W /REP KAREN BASS TOWN HALL (youtube)... Amazing

[DDozer]

We need to remove the domestic terrorism out of our government and our country.
This is America.
This is not a country of terrorism.

[douglaswilliams]

The claim that the top brass don't know what's going on is insulting to all our intelligence.
THEY are choosing their response.
Your not accepting it is evidence that it's wrongdoing from the top brass.

[jaym]

If politicians took desecration of this country (esp long s. border) as seriously as that of their Building, 'riot' wouldn't have occurred. Ignoring it for ears, incited this.
