If You See Something . . .

Remember after 9-11, the patriotic thing to say was . . . no, not Freedom Fries, but “If you see something, say something.”

I suspect that those troglodytes who invaded the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday won’t be able to contain themselves and will be posting “selfies” on Instagram and Facebook. If you see such pictures, forward them to the FBI if you would. Every single one of those assholes needs to be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Let’s see … I recognize that guy … and that guy … oh, look a videographer, I wonder if he will post his videos?

I can hardly wait to hear them plead that they didn’t know that what they were doing was wrong, or that they were just following orders, or that if the president recommends it, it is legal. Can’t wait.

I also can’t see Republicans objecting to us wanting those involved to take individual responsibility for their actions. This used to be a pillar of Republican ideology and I suspect they will want to be recapturing some of that from now on.

Lock them up! Lock them up! Lock then up!

  1. Dear Steve,

    I wonder whether the POTUS intends to pardon them, assuming that he could do it in time.

    I heard that he intends to pardon himself before leaving the White House.

    • Good question. There is a long history of such disreputable pardons.

  2. A few are already trying desperately to weasel out of it. One, a member of the state legislature of West Virginia who participated in this is claiming he was acting as a “citizen journalist” (cough cough).
