So I, you know, I can't see over a lot of people.
So then we leave.
We go back around.
I take some pictures by the bike racks where what I think is blood is on the ground, but I'm not sure.
It could have been a spilled drink.
It could have been anything where the bike racks were.
And we start making our way around.
And then I see Jacob Chansley, which we all came to know as the QAnon shaman.
I saw him on the steps of the Senate side.
and we make our way around to the west and this is when it hits and it's like this is going to be talked about forever because the sea of people that were out there just thousands and thousands of people that are on that side we have no like we're on the east side sheltered in a tiny little corner
We have no idea the scale of what is happening at the Capitol.
And people always talk about the West Side footage and things.
They always show the tunnel videos where you see people attacking.
Well, the reason that they were attacking that day is because a Metro police officer, Lila Morris, had just beaten a woman to death by the name of Roseanne Boyland.
And that's what they were reacting to.
And so as we're making our way around to go get onto the metro, the closest metro was directly across the west back towards the other side.
So we made a beeline through the crowd.
Well, apparently, if you wear a badge in D.C., which if you don't know, like across the standard, the Capitol Police and Metro Police, with their combined, particularly on the Metro side, is the ninth most violent police force in America.
Yeah, of course.
You think about that.
