As citizens of the United States of America turn over a new lead in the White House, the decision of choosing Joe Biden as the next President erupted in Washington, D.C. on January 6^th.  

It is now September and the lives of Americans will never be the same.

Several American Citizens used their power to force themselves into the Capitol. As a result, the National Guard assisted to remove citizens from the Capitol Building at once. Citizens who engaged in the violent activities at the Capitol wore “Make America Great Again” Apparel, Mask and held Trump flags to get their message across about the previous election between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump.  

“I knew there was a protest going on In Washington, D.C. in response to the previous election; however, I didn’t think the Capitol would’ve been broken into and people would die from what they called “protesting” and “using their voices,” said Corneilius Jordan, DC Native. 

Because violent acts of the American citizens present at the Capitol, five people were pronounced dead. These five people are as follows: Brian Sicknick, Ashli Babbit, Kevin Greeson, Rosanne Boyland, and Benjamin Phillips. Brian Sicknick was one of the officers, who was on line to protect his country and after the Capitol Riot, he collapsed in his office. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries.
