WNU Editor: Not surprised that this 15 day emergency period will only end after the inauguration. Hundreds of thousands of protesters showed up yesterday. They are clearly worried that hundereds of thousands will show up again on inauguration day.
Update: I have seen numerous videos since yesterday on the death of Ashli Babbit in the Capital building. But this one clearly shows that the person who shot and killed her was from a law enforcement officer on the other side of the door (link here).
Hat tip to Adam.

John Sullivan a ANTIFA member was there in Capital Hill.
Legacy Media, liberal politicians (read fascists) and activists have said it is unfair to to blame BLM marches for violence. People have called for them in that case they should eject the firebrands among them. They refused.
There is video of people outing ANTIFA members among the Trump supporters. Obviously, they did not do enough of it.
I bet the majority or all of the people bashing the doors on capital Hill were ANTIFA.
Ashli Babbit is dead because of ANTIFA, Bowser, and all the other liberal assholes.
Saw the video and that is murder, the use of deadly force was excessive here. The dude needs to be prosecuted.
Our hero, an armed and scared poorly trained cop. He kills an unarmed female WHITE protester through a door and nary a peep. I only wish she'd been another race. Those DC riots would then be sanctioned by the left.
War will b declared
Hitler is risen all over again government fools nothing changes 4 the good is all sinful after sin
TO BE CLEAR:
EVEN MOST OF THE GOP IS FULLY OPPOPSIONG WHAT TRUMP HAS DONE TO OUR NATION IN DC INSURGENCY...Stick by him if you will. That is your right. But he has cost your party the white house, the senate and the house.
He has split the GOP
He has made our nation a joke
His own appointees and esp. Barr heap scorn upon him and have resigned.
Hang in there true believers...as difficult to give up as Communism for American true believers years ago.
To be clear
It is not hard to scare many if not most Republicans.
Democrats through around charges of greed, racism and other things with abandon.
Democrats will charge throw charges of racism against Jeb Bush (married to a Hispanic), McConnell (married to and Asians) without regard to the truth. It is who Democrats are. They are vicious totalitarians.
Jesse Jackson gave Trump awards in the early 1990s for being a great employer. As soon as Trump runs for office he changed is toon and called him racist.
Jesse Jackson and Fred Lapides have no regard for the truth. None.
Obrador knows what a stolen election looks like. WNU stated as much in a previous post. That is why WNU said Obrador did not congratulate Biden in November or December. Stealing an election makes the nation a a joke.
Chinese citizens do not want Trump in office. They want the whole South China Sea and yearly 1/2 trillion trade deficits in their favor. Apparently, you see eye to eye with them.
