JAN 6,2021, should have been another proud day for American democracy, with Congress formally ratifying the results of a free and fair election, signaling the peaceful transition of power and determining Joe Biden will become the next president of the United States. Instead, it will go down as a dark day in the history of the republic.

As Americans watched in shock and horror, a storm of chaos and violence invaded the seat of the US democracy. A mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol, smashed windows, forced the suspension of deliberations in both the House and the Senate, required the evacuation of the vice president and members of Congress, and entered the Senate chamber. Security officers were seen with guns drawn, and at least one person was fatally shot.
