Do you remember!!

Do you remember the United States Capitol shooting incident (1954)‬ The United States Capitol shooting incident of 1954 was an attack on March 1, 1954 by four Puerto Rican nationalists; they shot 30 rounds from semi-automatic pistols from the Ladies' Gallery (a balcony for visitors) of the House of Representatives chamber in the United States Capitol. They wanted to highlight the struggle for independence from US rule. The Nationalists: Lolita Lebrón, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andres Figueroa Cordero, and Irving Flores Rodríguez, unfurled a Puerto Rican flag and began shooting at the 240 Representatives of the 83rd Congress, who were debating an immigration bill. Five Representatives were wounded, one seriously, but all recovered. The Nationalists were arrested, tried and convicted in federal court, and given long sentences, effectively life imprisonment. In 1978 and 1979, they were pardoned by President Jimmy Carter; all four returned to Puerto Rico. It has been discussed that the Puerto Ricans involved are to be given the Nobel Peace Prize posthumously. The thought is that that the those elected to serve the people are doing everything but serving the people. They are self-seeking, arrogant and corrupt. 90% of the voters favor giving the award, probably as a message to the politicians that our elected representatives better are start paying attention to the voters and do what they promised to do when they asked the people for their votes.
