Jan. 6—As supporters of President Donald Trump mobbed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday in a violent attempt to stop the electoral vote count, locals and visitors in San Luis Obispo largely condemned the siege — with some calling it "appalling" and "an abomination."
"I understand (the Trump supporters) want to stand up for their beliefs," Grass Valley resident Gavin Ross said. "But regardless, the system is the system and you got to let it do its thing."
