From the outside looking inward - A Capitol under Siege

Journal Entry by Nyxie Nyx
I am going to be honest, I have no idea how to feel about this as someone who doesn't come from the USA, what do I think? Being some random guy from Wales, a UK citizen currently waiting for the effects of Brexit, AKA, thinking about our own problems? I don't fully understand what the Capitol Building means but I feel it would be like if the Houses of Parliament were raided by the encourage of the Prime Minister, that is the closest thing I can connect it to what it would be equivalent to if it happened here.
So, where do I stand then? A lonely guy from outside of the US? What stance have I taken in this rather serious matter?
Well, of course I condemn it! What kind of person would be happy to see police stepping aside to let people raid a historical and important piece of government so they can take damn selfies with these same raiders? Flying Confederate Army flags and ripping down their own countries flag to fly some stupid flag of Trump!? And a man, a President, encouraging it all the way, and people stopping the National Guard from putting a stop to this madness, am unsure who did that but that is messed up.
Truly, this year has begun like 2020 went, with a major blow to the people itself...
