The third grade teacher's assignment: look at the photo, describe what you see and give your reaction to it.
The 10-year-old's reaction was concise:
"I see men with guns pointing at the door. I see grown ups acting like babies. No, that's an insult to babies. Why are they behaving this way? It scares me."
It scares me, too.
The excuses of the participants sound like my 3-year-old son's explanation when asked why his sister was crying. "Well, her face ran into my foot." My reply: "Try again."
Here's what some of the "grown ups" who were caught inside the Capitol building in the midst of tear gas, pepper spray, guns and police officers being attacked said:
"I didn't do anything."
"I picked up the cuffs from the floor. I was looking for a police officer to give them to. "
"I found the shield I used to break the window."
"I just watched."
"I just looked around."
"I didn't touch anything."
"I was dressed in military gear because I was afraid of getting hurt by antifa."
"I thought it was okay to go inside."
Really? Try again.
