Washington was peaceful on inauguration day, anarchists riot elsewhere

By Arul Louis New York, Jan 21 : The expected right extremist attacks on the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris did not materialise in the nation’s capital Washington, but leftist groups rioted in Washington state on the west coast and elsewhere turning their ire now on the Democrats.
The protests happened after Biden said in his inaugural address, “We must end this uncivil war.” Speaking at the Capitol, where a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump’s supporters had stormed the building two weeks earlier, he said: “Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire destroying everything its path.” The protests signal the difficulties Biden will face from the left also as he tries to heal the polarisation.
His calls for national unity seemed to have angered some of the protesters and the Seattle Times newspaper quoted one of them as saying, “Calling for unity with people who actively want to harm people is disgusting.” The Oregonian newspaper reported that in Portland they carried sign reading, “We don’t want Biden, we want revenge!”
