Patriots stand in hearings at the Idaho State Capitol

It wasn’t until the crowd of more than 200 citizens walked up to the House Chambers for the plenary session that they were told only 26 people would be allowed to sit in the gallery to observe. This did not go over well. Citizens who’ve been denied a voice for five months tried forcing their way into the gallery, and a handful of state police tried to keep the doors closed. With police pulling in one direction and citizens pulling in another, glass on one of the doors shattered.

Although the Idaho Statesman reported that “protestors” broke the glass, state police issued a statement saying the breakage was accidental. Video of the incident shows it was not intentional.
