Jewel Health and Rehab

 Directly across the street is a basically empty retail building. It was where I chose my primary care doctor; easy walk across the street, even after I started using a walker. Doctor moved as did most of the other who rented space in the building.

There is a parking lot, behind that building. At the end of the parking lot is Jewel Health and Rehab. I guess it is for short of long term care. I was thinking about the people who live in the houses across the street from that building. Ambulance and fire truck arrive; flashing red lights, reflecting in their windows.

Today the ambulance (or paramedic truck) and fire truck was to JHR 3 times. I do not get up everytime I hear sirens. I should. When they stop quickly, it could mean they came to our building, or the rehab place. I think they were to our building, twice in the past two days.  Taken to the hospital or coroners office?

Often I follow the flashing lights; assume there has been an accident on nearby highway. Sometimes they stop closer; a fire in one building or another. Car crashes. When I here a lot of sirens, I would expect to see something on local news. I joined Facebook local fire companie pages. So I was getting some updates. Now I ditched Facebook, so still in the dark. Or, flashing red lights/sirens unknown.

I feel for the people whose lives have suddenly been altered by these events. 

Holiday

        Watching the movie Holiday. The gist; two females trade houses for two weeks. The lady from England, Iris is thrilled living in Amanda's Los Angeles mansion. Amanda not so happy. The airport shuttle drops her off down the road from the cottage. He says his car will not be able to turn around, so she needs to walk the rest of the way. In the snow with high heels. She packed coats, hat, gloves, so why not boots?

After Amanda unpacks, she has to go to town to shop for groceries. Where did she get the car? 

The link above is from someone else who had questions about the film.

She did not question the car.

Oops

 Oops looks like I posted some Book of Dump posts on this 'article" blog. Still have documents to post over there, so will not fix it. 

Fight for whatever he told them?

  Kevin Lyons, 40

Heckled guards with the mob:  “f---ing Nazi bastards!” and “SS!” Went into Nancy Pelosi's office, took selfies with feet on top of desk, stole framed photo of Nancy and John Lewis, and stole a $150. in cash from a staff members wallet.

Update, after serving one year, of his four year sentence he was released from prison.

AKA: Milkshake

Daniel Lyons Scott, 29, declared during a Florida rally that if a U.S. senator didn’t vote against the certification of Biden’s victory, they should “give him the rope!”

Attorney says the poor boy was just frustrated and blowing off steam, as he pushed guards up stairs, then pulled one down into the crowd, breaking police line, allowing the rioters to surge, break into the building.

 "aggressive crowd control effort.” “Let’s take the (expletive) Capitol!”

(I thought guards let them inside leading them on a guided tour?)

Richard Markey, 38,

emerging from the riotous mob near the south side of the tunnel, climbing on top of other rioters, “pushing himself toward the police line, raising the baton, and striking at law enforcement.”  After losing the baton during the melee, Markey continued to strike at police with his fists.

Markey is also accused of later pulling a wooden pole away from a police officer and using it to strike at police with such force that it snapped. He is also accused of pulling, pushing and kicking at police officers' protective shields while shouting “oath breaker."

Edward Rodriguez, 31, of Brooklyn, N.Y

deployed bear attack deterrent spray on multiple police officers during the riots outside the U.S. Capitol Building.

was recorded on video being interviewed on the scene by an independent reporter. Rodriguez stated, “Here in America, we fight back. We will never surrender to dictatorship, corruption, communism, or socialism. We the people will never put up with their bullsh-t….”

 

So they elect a "dictator on Day one" who is already breaking laws (Logan Act for one) and barking orders like a dictator? 

MAWA logic?

 Audrey Ann Southard-Rumsey, 54

Audrey Ann, Southard-Rumsey amplified calls for revolution on social media and worked with others on a declaration calling for the abolition of the Democratic Party and the institution of a new government. On the day of the Capitol attack, She uploaded a photo of herself at the east plaza. on Facebook. broadcasted a live video of herself.

She was part of a large group that broke through police barricades. She grabbed an officer’s riot shield,  pushed an officer with a flagpole, causing him to fall and hit his head on marble base; joined a group that pushed officers down some stairs. "Tell Pelosi we are coming for that b****."

 "My whole dream of my life has been taken, because people have different politics than mine."

"I have grievances, since they don't listen to us at the polling place.  They don't listen to us little people in the regular world. I'm ashamed of this country."

"When you decide to throw me in prison for doing my duty, think of what I now have to give up.

She criticized gas and grocery prices and said,  "I'm terrified about what's happening in our country."

"It's not fair."

"I won't protest because I'll be in prison. Why protest? You guys don't listen." (attorney wanted house arrest because she would not protest again, ha, ha)

yelled at reporters: "You all are f******* liars.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  You're why we're in this mess."

What? Gas and grocery prices? At the end of 2020? So gas and grocery prices under DJT were so bad, she wanted to stop election of Biden? What about MY dream of life? 

And people voted to put him back in the White House? 

A day of peace and love?

“That day broke our tradition of peacefully transferring power, which is among the most precious things that we had as Americans,” the judge said, emphasizing that he was using the past tense in light of how Jan. 6 affected the process..

Kyle Fitzsimons, 39

carrying an unstrung bow, committed five assaults against police officers within a five-minute span. At one point, he threw the unstrung bow at the group of officers, which hit and bounced off the ballistic helmet of the the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), court documents revealed.

Amid another altercation with an MPD officer, a different rioter sprayed them with a chemical agent and Fitzsimons trapped the chemical under the detective’s mask, causing him to temporarily suffocate, the filing reads.

Thomas John Ballard, 36

Ballard used a police baton to repeatedly hit police officers and pushed a piece of metal scaffolding at the legs of officers; threw multiple objects at law enforcement, including a tabletop, a bottle of unknown liquid, a pole, pieces of a wooden plank, and two other unknown objects.

Juan J. Rodriguez was discovered by Capitol Police inside a Senate staff office room with two other men, one wearing a helmet and the other wearing a "Make America Great Again," baseball cap,

Alexander Fan, of Houston, Texas,

the  one wearing helmet was not identified

door was locked from inside and the 3 men refused to obey officers commands to open it

The men apparently got into the office through a window broken earlier by another man. "The previously-shattered glass was no longer in the window; the panes were empty; and glass littered the floor of Office S202."

Capitol police officers escorted the men outside the building, but "minutes later, Rodriguez was back, standing on the ledge outside the same window" and asking for the cellphone he'd left charging inside

Used ice axe and large pipe to break window

J6th Law Enforcement

 This is not an article. It is notes from news reports. I often posted them on Facebook. Anyone that voted for DJT voted for this. Birds of a feather.

Officer Mark Ode, who was beaten by members of the mob, said  the riot was a “planned and organized attempt to overthrow our constitutional process by individuals who determined that their opinion of the few was superior to the Constitution.”

“Certain memories and experiences leave deep marks that never fully heal and leave a reminder of things that were or things that could have been,” Ode said in his statement. He recounted being “pinned down by multiple assailants, being pinned down by all of their weight, while simultaneously being choked by the chinstrap of my helmet.”

I “felt my life fleeing my body,” Ode wrote, and had “the most vivid visual of my own funeral.”

“That day was the first time I wasn’t sure if I was going home that night,

Officer Shae Cooney,  recounted the aftermath that night and “feeling my phone vibrate for hours knowing that my family was trying to reach me, and I couldn’t do anything for hours.

“I lost a friend that day, someone who I had worked with for almost three years. I was standing right next to him when he started fighting, and later that day he was gone. And every day I have to be reminded that he isn’t here anymore because the people in this courtroom decided that they weren’t happy with how an election went.”

Though she did not identify the officer by name, Cooney appeared to be referencing US Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who suffered strokes and died of natural causes shortly after responding to the riot.

Inspector Thomas Lloyd directly called out politicians, defendants and media figures who have alleged that law enforcement officers were somehow responsible for what happened during the riot. Lloyd, one of the Capitol Police leading officers that day, helped organize the evacuation of members – even as the mob broke into the Speaker’s Lobby, where members were fleeing.

“Recent videos have emerged that alleged our officers were tour guides in the Capitol building,” Lloyd said. “When a mob controls one-third of the United States government, you will see disturbing videos of police officers being at the mercy of the rioters.”

Lloyd also decried allegations that “rioters entered the interior of the Capitol building because my officers didn’t know how to lock down the window properly.”

“Some defendants have stated they assisted my personnel on January 6,” Lloyd said. “This is the same tactic used as domestic violence perpetrators – beat the victim unconscious and then attempt to render aid.”
