Just a few days after some guy tried to attack the FBI headquarters in Cincinnati,
another individual conducted some sort of attack in the Capitol,
driving up to the US Capitol building his car exploded, set on fire.
Almost immediately, he shot a firearm in the air, and
eventually apparently shot himself.
You can see the press release about it there.
It was pretty early on he fired shots into the air.
Nobody other than that individual was hurt, and
he apparently shot and killed himself.
He has now been identified in fact as Richard York A 29 year old of Delaware,
crashed into a barricade, maybe that's why his car was engulfed in flames.
Maybe it was in some way rigged to be engulfed in flames.
There are not a lot of details yet out about this,
I assume that in the next day or so we will get those.
But they say that they do not believe that he was targeting congress
people because they were not in session at this point.
It's also possible that he's an idiot who didn't know that,
in any event thankfully no one else was hurt.
But following so closely after all the death threats against FBI members and
Merrick Garland and the Cincinnati thing Francesca, having someone even attack and
then kill themselves is literally the last thing that the country wants or needs.
>> My God, I mean shoe on the other foot,
can you imagine what Trump would be saying?
How much the far right media would be coalescing around this amount of violence,
they're trying to throw all the violence,
and it was Antifa it was BLM where, where, we were there,
that every single day that summer, >> Yeah.
>> all locked in our homes, watching the footage, what was it?
It was police beating, and pepper spraying,
and tear gassing, and arresting unarmed protesters.
And here you have.
Yeah, it's a couple of incidents, except for, The Biggie on January 6th,
and you're like, we're just supposed to let this wash over us.
Again, we love to talk about political violence, And this is my question is,
okay, so, what's the solution here?
What are people doing?
And don't tell me, yeah, we're gonna get the FBI to infiltrate, and
then do some sting operations F that, that's not okay,
we need a real plan to de radicalize folks.
And I think listening to people who have been in the these movements are important,
but man, the movement is so mainstream.
It's like, when it's the Republican Party, what do you do?
>> Yeah, yeah.
Is it at the end of the day, let's keep it real, it's not about,
getting into that group.
I have a feeling some are probably active members of
the group, >> Yeah.
>> By the way, those crazies are cops, and law enforcement too,
sometimes, >> Yes.
>> Let's acknowledge that, remember January 6th,
there was some suspicious stuff, I'll remind you.
Anyway, we don't know why this guy did this,
we don't know what his political ideology is.
For all we know, he's a card carrying progressive or something.
I mean, there's no reason to believe that it wouldn't make much sense, but
anything is possible.
What we do know though is this sort of thing is becoming so regular,
not just the political violence, but the attacks.
There was a shooting, I believe it was in Indiana in the last day.
It's like not enough people died for to even be big news, I guess.
This is not the sort of thing that should be normalized, overall mass violence.
Political violence.
We've been brought to this place, we didn't just end up here.
People shepherded us there, and we need to turn around [SOUND]
