ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT administration would like people to forget about the riot at the U.S. Capitol five years ago this week, many locals are determined that we won’t. More than 100 people gathered in Middlebury’s Court Square on Tuesday, Jan. 6, to wave signs and encourage honks. Few people around here have forgotten.

JANUARY 6 HAS become a day of accountability. Five years ago this week, protestors stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., with the aim of stopping the legitimate transfer of power from the head of one political party to the head of another. Police officers were assaulted, property was damaged, lawmakers were put in fear of their lives, and a few people died.
More than 100 people gathered in Court Square this Tuesday, Jan. 6, to remind us what happened. Many drivers honked their support. One driver rolled down his window and expressed his loud support for our current president, but no one was injured.

Love, not hate
Most of the signs at the Jan. 6 vigil on Court Square in Middlebury this Tuesday were strident in tone — Defend Democracy, Truth Matters, Traitor. But one message peeked through that was a little lighter, and at least as instructive. Three hearts and a smile.
