The videos and images from the US Capitol remind me of an incident a few month back when Neonazis tried to storm the German Bundestag. They got damn close two, with only three policemen standing beyween them and German Democratic integrity. Looking at the pictures from Washington now, shows me how bad it could have been had those three Policemen not been there.

I hope to all of my American friends that you weather the day successfully and emerge refreshed from this ordeal.

Just some thoughts from across the pond.
