The police just arrested a local guy for pedophilia. Turns out, he's the father of one of the terrorists who attacked the capitol.
They don't worry about this kind of thing too much in America because the powers that be run strong PR. We're too busy shooting each other to bother with the capitol, most of the time.

Sounds like they beefed up security a bit after Guy Fawkes, LOLI'm trying to imagine the circumstances in which a mob like that would be able to descend on the Palace of Westminster and get anywhere near the gates without running into large numbers of police officers, including special crowd and riot-control units, and if they got past them and looked like breaking into the grounds of the Palace, they'd encounter specially trained officers armed, among other things, with Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns. If they managed to get past them, they'd find all the doors were locked, and defended by similarly armed officers.
Parliament here has been attacked by terrorists, sometimes successfully, several times during my lifetime, and the authorities are very aware of the extremely real dangers faced every day at work by both MPs and Parliamentary staff, and the need to protect them.
Didn't they worry about terrorists -- Jihadists, White Nationalists, Incels, whoever -- attacking the Capitol before now?
