Four Hours at the Capitol

Four Hours at the Capitol

Four Hours at the Capitol

Proof that Trump did insight this insurgence. And, that the Alt Right is as dangerous as Progressives. Rita shame that so many officers were injured, and the ones who died are a tragic loss of life. So much for Trump and Conservatives having respect for law enforcement. And, how terrifying for those who work in the Capitol as well.

January 6 wasn't a "riot" or an "insurrection" but was a poorly planned coup to overthrow the U. S. government, substituet a petty egotistical fool like an 3rd world banana republic. You have the perfect idiot who thinks he knows how to game the system but has no clue who is pulling his leg. The former game show host conspired with right-wing extremists, political operatives and misguided minions to decapitate the legislative branch and then rule by emergency decree based upon ludicrous false claims the 2020 election was stolen. The documentary remains objective, presents the surreal event, recorded and streamed by agitators videos boasting of "owning the libs" & posted on their social media. Most of the minions was fined a weeks average ($600) benefit of what they condemn as "socialist": unemployment checks they received during the pandemic. Most of us watched it occuring 'live'! The traitors were prepared to hang one of their parties OWN VP; led to the deaths of 5 people, injured 140 capitol police and caused more than $1.5 million in property damage which doesn't include the additional $520 million taxpayer pricetag for additional police and National Guard security response during and after the failed coup!! What's extremely disturbing is the FACT nearly all of the autocratic party members who swore an oath to uphold preserve the constitution, refusal to condemn the anarchists & their treasonous leader. Leads one to conclude they are negligent immoral puppets as well and should be accountable for their inaction and cowardice. Objective trruth is not a high priorty with conservative "values" when the mindless tribalistic cultural identity of their base keeps their greedy snouts at the trough. The wasted $522 millions could have been used for suppport progarms help people affected by a global virus pandemic but instead they chose to politicize the catastrophic event. The preposterous 60+ "stolen election" lawsuits wrre all rejected by state courts, in some cases by judges appointed by the delusional autocratic ex-president himself. In one lawsuit even the SCOTUS conservative party-hack majority refused to hear the case! The taxpayer on both sides of the aisle in those states will share the tremendous cost of those stupid frivolous lawsuits.

Attacks on USA Capitol 1954 & 1998 Actual shootings!1954 5 Congressmen shot 1998 2 police officers killed! 1971 & 1983 Actual Bombings! Many of these Terrorist were pardoned by Carter & Clinton! And of course the civil war! Amazing how DemoRATS memories work!

This film shows a time line of what actually occurred on January 6th. The editing of footage was finely done. I've invited eight friends over for another viewing tomorrow.

The hate and stupidity can show the humanity darkest hours to the world. And some of the hours will now be shamefully remembered forever. A terrific and bloodcurdling docummentary. A true piece of sadly realistic terror. Sometimes I do not know what to think about the world these days... So, so painfully sad.

I think some of the 1 star reviews by Trump supporters didn't even watch this. One asked how the protestors got past the police without weapons, if you watch, you see exactly how. This showed a lot of cell phone videos and body cam footage that I never saw on the news. How anyone can say this was peaceful is insane. I cried as they pulled an officer through the crowd and repeatedly hit and tazed him. To the ones saying it is all biased, if it were truly biased it would not have shown interviews with the protestors themselves.

This is one of the best documentaries made till now this century, the sheer madness and desperation at both poles are really smittening, and laying on the couch watching this was far away from relaxing. Like playing the game of ''we'll push right through,whatever we may pushing on'', like me and my class mate did in the schoolyard 1970's at norheim skole where just laughingly similar to what happened here. I feel deep sorrow for all the people that lost someone on the force or within the rioters who got killed or died due to mental and physical stress due to the canossations, and a great thanks to all admitting the use of their filmatic material, and a standing ovation to the production team that made this documentary about this utopian crisis as well balanced as it is.( many will disagree, but use the stopwatch and time it) if its not nominated for an oscar, then i will... just a pitty they didnt have filmcameras and audiotapes back in the days of the 1790's french revolution, would have been nice with some comparitions, the grumpy old man though was there at the bastille, so now its time to learn, even for the rioters, what went wrong, remember the paris riots where won with hayforks,axes,spades and gravelers, even bombs made out of human manure where used, without pepper of course. Well you have to see it to believe it, and some revelations of the true happenings are unveiled, and could easily have turned into a 10 hour feature, so again job well done to the makers of ''four hours at the capitol''

If, in a country of several hundred million, a few thousand fiercely dispute the legitimacy of the government, you might think the country isn't actually doing too badly. But a few thousand people, if sufficiently determined, can do a whole lot of damage. But orderly government is usually possible because the dissenters understand the futility of trying to force their way. But Donald Trump, an incumbent President who lost his re-election, proceded to tell his followers the election had been stolen and moreover, that they could do something about it. Eventually, some of them violently stormed the U. S. legislature. This documentary shows what happened. On one hand, it shows just a little of the context: we see Trump's last speach to the rioters, but not how he tried to persistently de-ligitimise the election result. We also get a lot of interviews with the rioters themselves, who are allowed to self-justify at excessive length. But we do also get a lot of film of the event, which shows clearly the true horror of what unfolded. However much the protesters claim to have simply been exerting their rights, it's clear that their actions, whatever their individual motivations, amounted in total to a full-on attack on the U. S. government. In the end, order was restored, but Trump was never held to account. And the worrying thing is that tyrants have throughout history seized power through the incitement of the mob. It's hard to avoid concluding that the modern Republican party has not decided to take the side of tyranny over democracy, which does not bode at all well for the future.
