In Metro Detroit people took the time to reflect on the events of Jan. 6, 2021 -- when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol building.

A year has passed since rioters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, and several of them are from Michigan.

At about 2:15 p.m., the U.S. Capitol was placed on lockdown as groups breached the Capitol steps. 6 p.m. update: Officials declare Capitol ‘secure’ nearly 4 hours after violent pro-Trump occupiers disrupted electoral count. DC Police just reported that 4 people died as Trump supporters occupied Capitol; 1 woman shot by police, 3 in medical emergencies. The police chief of Washington, D.C., says pro-Trump rioters deployed “chemical irritants” on police in order to break into the U.S. Capitol.

In the video, Trump urged his supporters who were rioting in D.C. to “go home in peace,” but his message didn’t stop there. President Trump did not win the 2020 election, and President-elect Biden will be sworn into office on Jan. 20. Twitter is demanding that Trump remove tweets violating their policy within the 12-hour lockdown, or else they will permanently suspend his Twitter account. Later Wednesday evening, Facebook -- which also owns Instagram -- similarly announced that they will also lock President Trump’s account for 24 hours.

Violence, vandalism, and insurrection have no place in this great country of ours. We are a nation of laws, not mobs,” Whitmer said. “While we come from different backgrounds and political parties, Governor Whitmer and I share a deep love for our country,” Snyder said. That’s why I join with Governor Whitmer in calling on people of goodwill across America to pray for peace, calm, and healing.”“Now is the time to put this election behind us once and for all,” Whitmer added. As Americans, there is no problem we can’t solve, and no challenge we can’t meet.
