‘I’m ashamed my father was a Capitol Hill rioter’ – BBC News
Over the past five years, Robyn Sweet became more concerned as her father became immersed in far-right conspiracy theories.
Then she saw the picture of him in handcuffs inside the US Capitol building on 6 January.
Douglas Sweet declined to be interviewed by the BBC.
He is one of hundreds of pro-Trump protesters who stormed the US Capitol four months ago. We look at how many people have been arrested, and ask what punishment they might face.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

There's now evidence that these Trump supporters where….
Actually paid by the left. And many of these trouble makers had been arrested in riots all over the country and causing chaos in the name of Trump. This is text book propaganda that the communist party teaches
They buy out the mainstream media to slender someone so who ever they want in office wins. Sounds familiar. Looks who's a puppet for China. Biden causing our government to go broke, and he is destroying the economy. US dollar is loosing it's value. China had planned this out for over 30 years. Amazing people are so dumb and blind

Anybody who was there was extremely naive at best and stupid at worst. The entire bureaucracy in DC is far left From courts to the FBI.. That's why Trump had so much trouble all four years because he was always getting fought. Trump could have stopped the prosecutions but chose not to. These people were betrayed and hopefully understand who the government really is.

One last thing I will never be ashamed of fighting for what I believe in. The Democrats party has gone to far left and it's going to cost them dearly. 2022. The Democrats cheated to much on election and that's why it's all coming out. Be prepared to find out it's not the big lie media keeps telling you because they was in on it. The Democrats always go to far and get caught with hand in cookie jar. I don't understand why people support Democrats they have nothing to offer but Republicans are bad. Lol Biden 3 months and he has us in shit hole. Democrats need to remember this is what you faught so hard to get Trump out and now what do you have a couple stimulus checks other than that their is nothing good financial wise for sure. Democrats learn to vote with common sense not your emotions.

How sad that your ashamed of your father for standing up for what he believes in. I'm just glad that my Daughter would never go on a news channel and say what your saying. While your hating on your father a lot of us are fighting for are country. Just remember how good you have it in America while we fight with your father for better tomorrow.

How's Portland doing? How come sky news Australia show real news not manipulation??
Rioters don't walk through a building
Rioters do what's happened in Portland
Isn't it interesting how the media portray 1 lot of "peaceful protestors" in the summer of love
And then police opening gates and letting in pro trump guys to the capital 🤔🤔 not a lot of damage for rioters🤔
How many businesses are in ruins in Portland? By your peaceful protester's
