No, I’m not assured (that Biden’s inauguration can be safe), based mostly on what we’ve simply skilled. And we have to do a deep investigation about how this occurred and who’s complicit in all of this. However I wish to inform you not solely am I not assured concerning the instances that you’re figuring out that probably we might have actual issues. I do consider that the president of the USA, Trump, has organized and labored in a approach that even after he’s not serving because the president, that he believes that he’s going to have management over a major inhabitants on this nation that he can use to principally rule and to principally confront no matter entity he’d prefer to confront that’s not agreeing with him, flip them on to different teams, and many others. I believe that he intends to train energy even previous his presidency. And so, whether or not you’re speaking a couple of group of specific dates the place we could have bother, and I additionally assume that, , after they speak concerning the 17th and so they speak concerning the 20th, that a few of our state legislative workplaces are additionally focused. And so they could have an operation that’s happening everywhere in the nation at one time, the place they’re being attacked. So, I believe we’re in a really harmful time within the historical past of this nation.

Worst-case situations embrace snipers focusing on inauguration dignitaries, ‘suicide-type plane’ coming into Washington’s restricted airspace and even remote-powered drones attacking the group.”

“The officers mentioned they have been significantly anxious about a number of active-shooter conditions flaring up concurrently,” the report added.

Not holding Trump and his enablers accountable might result in a extra lethal assault sooner or later 

The gravest mistake that we as a rustic could make following the occasions of final week is to maneuver on with out holding Donald Trump, his enablers, and his MAGA terrorists accountable.

Failing to ship swift and extreme penalties will solely encourage extra assaults, whether or not that’s at Joe Biden’s inauguration subsequent week or at state capitals all throughout the nation.

Final weeK’s MAGA siege on the U.S. Capitol was one of many darkest days in American historical past. If these in energy don’t maintain the perpetrators and instigators accountable, we’re doomed to see a extra lethal assault – or perhaps a profitable coup – sooner or later.
