they have a name for the (now deceased) attacker
If you haven't checked updates: one of the police officers also died

Like it or not, we now have an "immediate reaction force" of National Guard in D.C.
Extremists of all political persuasions should be aware when planning protesting activities, just sayin'.

Daily News' cover gets the fear thing, and also, by using the word "maniac" sort of wipes out a lot of conspiracy thinking. I have a tendency to think that is a good way to approach it! Makes readers rethink where they are putting their thoughts, i.e., are we doing a post 9-11 thing again?

Nancy Pelosi:
Hmmm, where's the statement about how if a mentally-ill white person had hit two white cops with his car at a barricade and came at them with a knife, he would not have been fatally shot? That there was no need to use their gun, they did so because he was a young black male?

DoJ protest strategy shifts
No longer "low hanging fruit"
Likely building up confessions & plea deals to get to higher-ups. (we've seen a number of items that might lead to Roger Stone, for example. The Matt Gaetz diversion gave him a chance to blow off steam, vent against Dems, but won't last)
And at what point does it tangibly touch Trump?
Still, it won't be quick. But unlike Mueller investigations, there's more chance of real followup than the illusory one under Barr and predecessors, esp. because there's no Rosenstein snake playing both sides but really helping Trump. Instead it's the actual DoJ. But still, these things take time to get to actually desirable targets, not small fish.
