Riot gives new meaning to ‘Barbarians at the Gate’

The recent riot and desecration of our nation’s Capitol give new meaning to the title of the book/movie “Barbarians at the Gate.”

How can so many, who consider themselves patriots, be so easily encouraged to commit sedition, convinced they were just following justifiable guidance from POTUS 45 and well-known congressional surrogates?

As I write this, it is Martin Luther King Day. He knew that racism could lead to this. Did you?

Lucky we live Hawaii, where we celebrate diversity and democracy.
