America witnessed a horrific scene at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C. on Wednesday (January 6) when a swath of fired-up Trump supporters stormed the building, causing both the Senate and House to be evacuated. Five deaths and 52 arrests later, the embers are still falling as Congress puts the pieces back together.
Killer Mike, never one to hold his tongue when it comes to polarizing socio-political issues, watched the blatant breach unfold on television. During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Wednesday night, the Run The Jewels MC admitted he woke up on a “high” knowing his home state of Georgia went blue. But then he got a call from his 13-year-old daughter alerting to him to events taking place at the Capitol Building and used it as a teaching moment.
“I don’t encourage what we saw,” he said. “And, essentially, it is violence. It is evil. It is I-didn’t-get-my-way-ism. It is the refusal to accept that this republic is ran by the power of the vote and people have voted the president out and the President-elect in and we need to accept that.”
Killer Mike also weighed in on what was called a “clear difference” between police presence during the Black Lives Matter protests last summer and the police presence at the Capitol, saying, “We know that justice is lopsided. We know. There has been this example and dozens more, and I would argue hundreds more.
“The question from me becomes at what point do we have to keep using these stark example versus doing something about it? At one point do we encourage the demilitarization of police, period? Today what happened was B.S. versus what happened over the summer … until we want for others what we want for ourselves, we will repeat the cycle over and over again.”

Mike’s fellow Atlanta native T.I. also issued some “dope boy logic” via Instagram shortly after the U.S. Capitol coup and insisted it was an inside job.
“I was talking to Charlamagne, and us coming from the hood, we know what an inside job on a home invasion look like,” the Hustle Gang said.. “We know when somebody in the house that left the backdoor open. We know what that look like. So now, we gotta fall back. This shit beyond me at this point. We did our thing. We flipped the White House, we flipped Georgia, we flipped the senate. We did everything we were supposed to do. So now, we’ll back up. Let us know how we’re going to benefit from the work we’ve already put in.”
He added, “I don’t know where the military was. I don’t understand. But don’t get caught out in the middle of them white folk business. Somebody getting money. The market was at an all-time high all of a sudden. It broke records every day. The market was up, even though the muthafuckin’ Capitol was getting raided. So fall back and find our way to benefit our community. We don’t need to get in the mix.”

Lol, and what about trump?
Ahhhh. The old tinfoil hat joo hatingbwerido is back at it again. We get it, your dad is homeless and someone with a college education that is one of the chose banged out your mom and kicked you out of her basement.
This mob and BLM were both wrong in using violence
I just saw the same type of “peaceful protests” we’ve watched all year…Just a different color, so I guess that makes it different. Oh that and the fact they didn’t destroy innocent people’s businesses. But I do agree, it was a pretty sad moment in our history
I agree with you. Forgot to say “mostly peaceful” though lol.
with that banner over capitol hill building, it feels like trump already won. reminds me when hov said “i will not lose not even in defeat, i will not lose they try to him cheat, it’s a valuable lesson learned which evens it up for me.”
This is a loss for free speech if you’ve been looking at what’s been going on today. At least if you’re on the opposite side of aisle. For now. If this really takes hold; everyone else will be silenced too. Hopefully it’s not what it seems.
They are domestic terrorists. Thats why they are getting locked up by the FBI.
You will enjoy hell
It is truly Ludacris anyone would sit here and back these globalist evil.dooers they are all sell outs to begin with and only used to persuade the stupid sheep to believe in the narrative they brainwash you cowards with, antifa/bidens camp go around burning buildi go killing raping innocent people, where were you to concern your disgust with that? This is absolutely nothing a few broken windows a poor young lady was killed from the pathetic security guard not one damn celebrity stood up, so I suppose the heard will not follow down that road?
A good interesting read. Great article.
this should have happened a long time ago if we all remember george w. bush. illegal wars and the democrats didn’t even lift a finger to try and try and discipline him as he should. M.A.G.A.
What if you were told that it was BLM and Antifa dressed as Trump supporters that stormed the Capitol.
