I watched some of the hearings yesterday on the January 6 riot, and wondered if maybe somebody had dosed a couple of the senators (Hawley, Johnson).  Perhaps someone spiked their adrenochrome.

Wounded Knee Occupation (1973): The Wounded Knee Occupation began on this day in 1973 when approximately 200 Oglala Lakota and American Indian Movement (AIM) members seized the town of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

You were having yourself a day yesterday, weren't you?

We all know that neither Biden or Harris are that great, but they were light years ahead of the other future.  All we can try to do it get behind strong Independents and hope for the best. 

Because this was the alternative reality last election.

I would imagine the custody battle to be trying to get the other ex partner to take the wee tyke...

This kinda nails it:

I've read several articles that say this state was key in adding the Second Amendment.  One, they wanted their own army, and two, they wanted to defend their right to slavery.

Mr Rogers always said, “Look for the helpers.”

So y’all should put some respect on Hugh Thompson Jr

Some excerpts from the Wikipedia entry:

He is credited with ending the Mỹ Lai Massacre

Thompson and his crew, Glenn Andreotta and Lawrence Colburn, stopped a number of killings by threatening and blocking American officers and enlisted soldiers. [They also] saved a number of Vietnamese civilians by personally escorting them away from advancing United States Army ground units and assuring their evacuation by air.

Thompson and his crew, in disbelief and shock, returned to their helicopter and began searching for civilians they could save. They spotted a group of women, children, and old men in the northeast corner of the village fleeing from advancing soldiers from the 2nd Platoon, Company C. Immediately realizing that the soldiers intended to murder the Vietnamese civilians, Thompson landed his helicopter between the advancing ground unit and the villagers.

Thompson reported the atrocities by radio several times. Although these reports reached Task Force Barker operational headquarters, nothing was done to stop the massacre. After evacuating a child to a Quảng Ngãi hospital, Thompson angrily reported to his superiors at Task Force Barker headquarters that a massacre was occurring at Sơn Mỹ.

Thompson testified against those responsible for the Mỹ Lai Massacre. Twenty-six officers and enlisted soldiers, including William Calley and Ernest Medina, were charged with criminal offenses, but all were either acquitted or pardoned.

Thompson was condemned and ostracized by many individuals in the United States military and government, as well as the public, for his role in the investigations and trials concerning the Mỹ Lai massacre. As a direct result of what he experienced, Thompson experienced posttraumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, divorce, and severe nightmare disorder.

Ron Ridenhour:
A helicopter gunner, Ridenhour heard of the massacre from friends while serving in Vietnam. While still on active duty, he gathered eyewitness and participant accounts from other soldiers. On his return to the United States, he wrote a letter detailing the evidence, which he sent to President Richard Nixon, five senior officials at the State Department and the Pentagon, and 24 members of Congress, [2] spurring a probe that led to several indictments against those involved, and the conviction of William Calley. His own account of learning about the massacre can be found in the article, "Jesus Was a Gook," published in Nobody Gets Off the Bus: The Viet Nam Generation Big Book.

Whole thing would have been hushed up without his work.

My Lai Massacre (1968)

On this day in 1968, the My Lai Massacre took place when U.S. troops in the Sơn Tịnh District, South Vietnam massacred and raped hundreds of unarmed civilians, including women, children, and infants. The event was a war crime and suppressed by the U.S. military despite multiple whistleblowers coming forward. Estimates of the total killed range between 347 and 504.

Despite two soldiers writing letters to their superiors about the possibility of a war crime having taken place, the U.S. government claimed that the event was a military victory for several months after it occurred. It was only after an independent journalist broke the story and the true nature of the massacre became public that twenty-six soldiers were charged with criminal offenses.

Only one, Lieutenant William Calley Jr., was convicted. Found guilty of killing 22 villagers, he was originally given a life sentence, but served only three and a half years under house arrest. The incident sparked global outrage and spurred the domestic anti-war movement. Three U.S. servicemen who had tried to halt the massacre and rescue the hiding civilians were shunned and denounced as traitors, including by multiple U.S. Congressmen.

Maybe it was just a bad 2020, here's the graph for the Number of mass shootings in the United States between 1982 and March 2021, by shooter's race or ethnicity.
