There are a lot of current events I’ve could have picked from,but the riot at Capitol Hill is the event that stood out to me the most.This event will be viewed as a historical moment in America’s history. It just occurred January 6,2021 in the Us Capitol Hill.It was a riot of Trump supporters upset over the outcome of the presidential election and to reduce the operation for the finalization of the election. Thousands of people stormed into the Capitol Hill causing some deaths and injuries. The chaos had started in a “Save America” Trump rally. Trump had advised his supporters to march to Capitol Hill to fight to stop the count. They had slowed the process down of certifying Joe Biden as the 46 president of the United States.Police had come to stop the violent mob from entering the capitol. However, they couldn't stop the violent mob and this is when the destruction and the problems started occurring.
Members of the violent mob had gone to every door waving the confederate flag and looting offices of senators and congressmen. During all of this the mob kept repeating that Trump was the real winner of the election.This is something that hasn’t occurred in our country's history ever before. Lawmakers had to wear gas masks to protect themselves from the tear gas and bear spray that was released. People were getting shot at and a lot were using violence and other objects to injure others.A woman named Ashli Babbitt had been one of the four people who died on this horrible day. Politicians asked Trump to tell his supporters to stop and go home. unfortunately, he did not do that. Instead, he said he loved his supporters, they are special people, and that the election was “stolen”.The supporters had stayed in Capitol Hill even after the curfew that was placed by police. It was an outrageous and violent riot caused by Trump supporters that America has never witnessed before held in a federal building.. Even after the horrific events the U S Senators still tried to do their jobs and confirm the electoral votes. The building was completely clear twelve hours later after the riot had started. After all this devastating mess had happen in Capitol Hill they had to find the people who broke the law.They had made fourteen arrest so far and none have been Washington D.C residents.They had to arrest people who vandalized and did not make it peaceful.There was no reason for breaking or threatening the workers in Capitol Hill. This horrible event had led to an officer dieing who was just trying to protect the lawmakers and stop the riot.This had been an outbreak that didn't need to happen. Overall, I think it was hurtful to see Americans do such an act.This is not how I remember America being.There is no reason for violence like this in our country we should all be working together.I feel it was completely disrespectful for what this mob had done in Capitol Hill.This was not acceptable.There is a difference between a peaceful protest and a mob riot which injures and/or kills others.I hope America can learn from this and move on to be a better country.
