When did you Find Out that J6 was happening.... [View all]

I'd stayed up very late following the results for John Ossof, and Rev Warnock.

So I really slept in till around nearly 2PM.
I didn't have a TV at that point, sometimes I listen to my local Public Radio later morning, or listen to the news in the evening. I checked maaaybe ?Buzzfeed back then, and DU.

I came here to DU. At first the threads were about Ossoff & Watnock. But suddenly a bit later they blew up about the insurrection! WTF?!!!

Then I jumped in to follow the sureal horror into the evening/night.
Have never forgotten!
