The day started like any other at the capitol’s legislative swing space. However, it quickly turned into a dramatic event when state workers staged a protest.
In an unprecedented act of defiance, they blocked access to the second-floor steps, effectively shutting down the entire building. Their chants of “Shut it down!” echoed through the corridors, demonstrating their determination to obstruct official proceedings.
This insurrection was not only a direct attack on the democratic process but also a complete disregard for the rule of law.
The protesters didn’t just peacefully demonstrate their rights; they intentionally disrupted the functioning of the state government. Their chants were a clear call to action to shut down the institution that upholds our democracy.
As news of the insurrection spread, reactions were mixed. While some praised the state workers for their courage and determination, others condemned their actions as a threat to our democratic values.
Among the critics was Bill Essayli, who expressed his concern on Twitter. He emphasized the seriousness of the situation, highlighting that the protesters were not just expressing their views, but actively trying to obstruct official proceedings.

Amidst all the chaos and controversy, there has been a surprising silence from Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice (DOJ).
Despite the clear evidence of insurrection, the DOJ has not yet announced how many people have been indicted. This lack of action raises serious questions about the fairness and effectiveness of our justice system.
This incident serves as a reminder of the growing divisions in our society. It highlights the need for dialogue and understanding, rather than confrontation and conflict.
