re: Meet Rebecca Lavrenz, one of the J6 thugs who was so deservedly arrested by Dear Leader

What other riot led to violent confrontations intended to disrupt Congress?

I missed the violence in the Lavrenz complaint.

National protests against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh escalated on Monday with more than 120 people arrested on Capitol Hill, celebrities weighing in on social media, and nationwide walkouts.

Capitol Hill police said 128 people were arrested for "unlawfully demonstrating" outside of senators' offices and in the main rotunda of the Russell Senate Building. About half as many protesters were arrested for protesting Kavanaugh on Thursday.

These were far more violent.

Not the Kavanaugh protests.

Wait what?

Are you saying the Kavanaugh protests did not include "violent confrontations intended to disrupt Congress"?

Or are you acknowledging that they did, but for some reason exempting them from this discussion?

A throng of protesters pushed past a police line, storming up steps to pound on the doors of the U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday after the Senate confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.

"Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Kavanaugh has got to go," the protesters chanted as they flooded the steps of the court, many with fists raised in the air, others with arms linked.

Police eventually were able to form a line between the door and the group of protesters and later shepherded them back down the steps before erecting a barricade.

The vote itself, which ultimately confirmed the embattled judge who faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct, was periodically interrupted with the shouts of protesters in the gallery. Pence called on the sergeant-at-arms a number of times to restore order during the vote.

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona was called a coward by one protester. When Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia cast his "yes" vote, a woman's voice could be heard shouting, "We won’t forget." Other protesters shouted "I do not consent" and "shame" as the votes were called.

Just before 1 p.m. ET, hundreds of protesters crossed police lines to gather on the steps of the Senate, chanting, "November is coming."

U.S. Capitol Police said a total of 164 people were arrested during the protests for "crowding, obstructing, or incommoding." Police said the people who were arrested were being processed offsite and would then be released.
