I am still trying to understand the recent terrorist attack on our nation’s Capitol. The apparent goal of the mob was to overturn the results of the 2020 election by preventing the counting of Electoral College votes. No matter what your political views, you should find this very disturbing.

I saw this brief history of violent attacks on the Capitol and thought it might be useful. It is an online article for the Smithsonian magazine and hope all who follow the link can read it. I also hope it makes it into the print version.
