Ought to issue a warning (as in consequences) to those who would attack Federal and State Capitols in the coming days?
Do you wonder, as I do, why there is only a warning for all of these places to be ready for it?
Why not tell the insurgents what they face in committing similar acts to Wednesday, January 6, 2021? It seems imperative to be out in front of this since there has been VERY LITTLE reparations so far.

(23,333 posts)that states lethal force will be used for anyone breaching a security line with no credentials. I am highly skeptical that Traitor45 supporters havent infiltrated FBI, Secret Service and National Guard, however. I am really nervous about it.

(6,486 posts)I think it's becoming clear that a lot more people were involved in the insurrection than the actual participants, and I think the FBI is on it. The plans for Jan. 17 and onward make it urgent. I expect arrests and searches of militia types not directly related to Jan. 6 ("American Guy Fawkes Day"?) before Jan. 17.

(2,626 posts)They know that an attack on the United States Government carries heavy consequences.
They make the choice of whether to commit insurrection or abide by the Rule of Law that defines our Democracy.
If they believe they're right then no reasoning will stop them from attacking.
The warnings to be ready are to assure any potential attack against the government of the United States will be met in sufficient measure to assure Democracy stands solid and Rule of Law prevails.
