John Hinderaker:
I think considerably stronger measures need to be taken. Democrats like to compare what is happening now, with their support, to the mostly peaceful demonstration on January 6, 2021. But what the Democrats are doing is orders of magnitude worse. The only person who was shot at on January 6 was Ashli Babbitt.
It is only a matter of time until federal officers are murdered, with the full-throated encouragement of the Democratic Party. What we are seeing bears more resemblance, I think, to 1861 than to 2021. The federal government should use its full powers to crush (and defund) the insurrection before it is too late, and violence spins out of control.
