White House security is apparently such that anyone with a stiff arm and a strong push can waltz right in.
Funny how the focus on investigating the Capital 'riot' is obsessive, but no one ever investigated any of the long list of cities burned and looted by BLM 'peaceful protestors', many of whom were bussed in a put up in high dollar hotels over night.
Yet, what a 'gold mine' to investigate something of such high magnitude, the siege of the open door White House. It's harder to get past the bouncer at Chuck E Cheese. Like the guards were just cardboard cutouts. Hey, China, Russia, North Korea, Iran! Come on down, we'll leave the light on for you.
I think the last words of the Capitol Police guards must have been 'Stay here, and make sure 'ee doesn't leave'.
Here's some footage. No snipers were harmed in the making of this film.
Scraped Parler Data Is a Metadata Gold Mine (techcrunch.com)251
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch:Embattled social media platform Parler is offline after Apple, Google and Amazon pulled the plug on the site after the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol last week that left five people dead. But while the site is gone (for now), millions of posts published to the site since the riot are not. A lone hacker scraped millions of posts, videos and photos published to the site after the riot but before the site went offline on Monday, preserving a huge trove of potential evidence for law enforcement investigating the attempted insurrection by many who allegedly used the platform to plan and coordinate the breach of the Capitol.
The hacker and internet archivist, who goes by the online handle @donk_enby, scraped the social network and uploaded copies to the Internet Archive, which hosts old and historical versions of web pages. In a tweet, @donk_enby said she scraped data from Parler that included deleted and private posts, and the videos contained "all associated metadata." The scraped videos from Parler appear to also include the precise location data of where the videos were taken. That metadata could be a gold mine of evidence for authorities investigating the Capitol riot, which may tie some rioters to their Parler accounts or help police unmask rioters based on their location data.
