These hotels have their identification details.

In what other country can you violently storm the Capitol, and then retire for the evening to the Grand Hyatt for a nightcap and a good night's sleep?

I know the Proud Boys were pissed when a hotel closed for three days. It’s rooms with queen beds were $88 a night. In Washington DC.

"Acting US Attorney Michael Sherwin said prosecutors expect to file 15 federal criminal cases related to the incident at the Capitol. One man who was arrested had a military semi-automatic rifle and 11 Molotov cocktails "that were ready to go." He said, "This is just the beginning," and more charges are expected.

It's still boggling my mind at the lack of preparedness by the multiple security/LEO forces in the NATIONS' FUCKING CAPITOL FOR GOD'S SAKE. It not like this day was a surprise as trump has been hyping it on twitter to his magats for days in not weeks.

For BLM they had the damn city surround and were able to call up helicopters instantly when needed.

And the video of all those rioters dining after their day of insurrection just drips with white privilege. It's astounding. It's also astounding that they were just able to walk away after the damage, hardly any arrests. Now the law enforcement has to rely on video and still photos to try to ID people who have dispersed to the winds.

WTF, has the incompetence of the trump admin spread all over DC?

Well, the Los Angeles Hyatt was the original "Riot House" (*)

(*) so named for antics of Led Zeppelin and other late 60s/early 70s musical acts at the L.A. Hyatt House.
