History in the making right here. This[1] might be an early contender for image of the year

As far as photos go, this photo isn’t well composed or evocative of anything. Compare this photo to the one of the Ohio COVID protests last year (https://slate.com/human-interest/2020/04/ohio-protester-zomb...). I’m sure better photographs of the protest will emerge soon.

This one is wow (https://twitter.com/ByMikeBaker/status/1346912374406615042).

Doesn't compare to this one: https://twitter.com/stevennelson10/status/134690995241006284...

I have difficulty believing it's real, but it's from the account of a legit reporter. I predict, this will be one of the iconic images from the 53rd week of 2020.

That photo has "Escape from New York" [1] vibes. John Carpenter is a genius.

It's this one for me, with the guns drawn at the entrance to the House Floor https://twitter.com/GettyImagesNews/status/13469076714259374...

God, poor Capitol Police.

Imagine having to try and reason with that crowd, to avoid having to shoot anyone.

The much more likely scenario is that they just let people through because an overwhelming majority of law enforcement are Trump voters.

That’s what they did.

I rather prefer this one, from the same thread - better composition, and the CSA flag adds some oomph

I would not want terrorists personally honored by such a distinction. Seems like something they'd aim for.

Perhaps this one:
