NEWARK, NJ — The United States was plunged into a collective period of mourning to observe what historians categorized as a "dark day for democracy" after a group of insurrectionists stormed a government building.
Tearful witnesses described the horror they saw as the band of rioters stage an act of treason against America itself, leaving no one dead and only minimal property damage, much like other insurrections at government buildings before it.
"This was worse than Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the entire Civil War," said one eyewitness. "As we've all learned from our news media, any time this happens, it's because people are trying to overthrow the government. Life as we knew it in this country is gone. Everything is different now. It's a shame that our children have to grow up with this type of dark cloud hanging over them. We can only assume that every single person who stormed the facility will be hunted down, charged, and imprisoned without any trial. That's what's done in these situations, right?"
Americans held a candlelight vigil outside the ICE detention facility, where the event took place. "I'm not sure how we come back from this," one legislator said under the condition of anonymity. "We should probably look to charge the people involved, but that mostly depends on what political party they belong to."
At publishing time, congressional Democrats announced that articles of impeachment were being drawn up against Donald Trump for inciting Democrats to storm a government building.
