You mean a courthouse in Portland being burned down during the summer didn’t already shake your faith in the security of our federal buildings?

And I’m not sure if people are aware but the capitol is a public building. Meaning, on a normal day anyone can just go in there. There wouldn’t have been the physical intrusion everyone is catching the vapors over if they hadn’t put up barriers and shut down the whole city in the first place. You know, I’m actually starting to understand that whole argument about how preemptive shows of force by the police can actually escalate a situation...

As a person who lives in Portland, I can tell you “burned down” is an incredible exaggeration. Somebody did set a desk on fire, though.

Hmm. I've been in the capitol building. From memory you can't just waltz in there like it's grand central station.
