US Capitol: After the Insurrection

We went down to the Capitol today because I wanted a picture of it through the huge fence that's been erected all around it. I did get a few of those on drive-by, but then we decided to park the car and see what was going on there because the road in front of it was literally packed with police officers and vehicles. It turned out that the Capitol Police were there in force to attend the funeral procession of USCP Officer Brian Sicknick, who died of injuries sustained during the seditious attack on the US Capitol on January 6 after he was reportedly hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. His death was a tragedy, and I'm glad we were there to pay our respects as his hearse passed by.

a nice reportage of a horrible event that took place there, and where unfortunately victims have fallen, everything remains openly calm with the transfer, and the nation can recover and put America in a better light against all over the world. BV

A strong gallery. It breaks my heart that democracy in America has been so disrespected and that homegrown anarchists are to blame. May Officer Sicknick's life not been lost in vain. May the democratic republic of the USA long stand.

An event that will change this country forever. This divided nation will likely continue to experience continued hated and violence at least in the short term. I never thought I would see the day when loyalty to one individual would lead to so many being willing to discard democracy if it would benefit them and their beliefs and this included members of congress. A wonderful start to this gallery and I would say only continue capturing more images if you are able to stay safe. I fear more trying times especially over this next week or so.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm missing DT's reaction to this. I live in the ?forlorn hope of a hint of understanding and contrition.

Appreciate all your pictures showing what is going on in DC after this shameful episode in our history,

May he rests in peace. Such a senseless loss of lives just because of one individual who is hunger for power. It's incomprehensible that it still happens in the 21st century and worse yet in this wonderful country. May God saves the USA.
