The mob storming of the Capitol in Washington which on Wednesday, January 6, was somewhat reminiscent of Estonia s 2007 Bronze Night (Pronksiöö) experience, expert in US politics, Andreas Kaju told ERR Wednesday evening. At the same time, ultimate responsibility for reining in the sitting president may lie with his own party, Kaju said.
Kaju told ERR that several criminal offenses have been opened in the U.S. following the riots.
Kaju said that mob action has taken place in the history of the U.S. before. Why the capital is where it is, is because, in 1783, 400 soldiers attacked the Congress (then generally based in Philadelphia, and at a time when New York was still occupied by British forces following the end of the Revolutionary War: Washington itself was founded in 1790 - ed.), he said.
