If the insurrection of January the 6th in Washington D.C. had been done by a foreign country there are laws in place that would bring those responsible to swift justice. I am appalled that our country does not have the proper tools (laws) to deal with domestic terrorism. This does not make sense. Terrorism, domestic or […]
