On July 12, 1947, a former [[Capitol Police]] officer attempted to assassinate Sen. [[John Bricker]] of [[Ohio]].<ref>https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2017/06/15/disgruntled-policeman-shot-ohio-senator-capitol-1947/399794001/</ref>
Shortly before midnight on July 2, 1915, police responded to the U.S. Capitol where an explosion had just rocked the Senate wing.<ref>https://boundarystones.weta.org/2015/06/22/terrorism-hits-home-1915-us-capitol-bombing</ref>
In 1954, five congressmen were wounded on the floor when 4 terrorists opened fire from the visitor area. President [[Jimmy Carter]] later commuted their sentences.<ref>https://blogs.loc.gov/headlinesandheroes/2020/05/1954-shooting-at-the-u-s-capitol/</ref>

Security became a major issue since the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], where a fourth hijacked plane on a suicide mission may have been headed to the White House or the Capitol. The serenity and repose formerly offered by [[Frederick Law Olmsted]]'s original capitol grounds landscape have been replaced with concrete barriers and machine-gun-wielding police who greet visitors and passersby with suspicion, in stark contrast to the air of friendliness and openness that used to prevail. The landscaping around the Capitol grounds, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, was partly sacrificed during 1999-2003 to construct the new Capitol Visitor Center and security points.
==Weather Underground bombings==
On March 1, 1971, the [[Weather Underground]] headed by [[Barack Obama]]'s far-left mentors [[Bill Ayers]] and [[Bernardine Dohrn]] bombed the U.S. Capitol building.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/02/28/when-the-left-attacked-the-capitol-471270</ref>

Minutes before the blast, a caller claiming to represent the “Armed Resistance Unit” had warned the Capitol switchboard that a bomb had been placed near the chamber in retaliation for recent U.S. military involvement in Grenada and Lebanon. The force of the device, hidden under a bench at the eastern end of the corridor outside the chamber, blew off the door to the office of the [[Exalted Cyclops]] and [[Democratic party|Democratic Leader]] [[Robert C. Byrd]]. A stately portrait of [[Daniel Webster]], located across from the concealed bomb, received the explosion’s full force. The blast tore away Webster’s face and left it scattered across the tiles in one-inch canvas shards. Federal agents arrested six members of the so-called Resistance Conspiracy in May 1988 and charged them with bombings of the Capitol, Ft. McNair, and the Washington Navy Yard. In 1990, a federal judge sentenced Marilyn Buck, Laura Whitehorn, and [[Linda Evans]] to lengthy prison terms for conspiracy and malicious destruction of government property.<ref>https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/bomb_explodes_in_capitol.htm</ref> While in prison, Linda Evans authored ''The Prison Industrial Complex'' with funding from the George Soros [[Open Society Foundations|Open Society Institute]].<ref>[http://sorosfiles.com/soros/2011/10/soros-funded-media-and-the-glorification-of-the-weather-underground.html Soros-funded Media and the Glorification of the Weather Underground]</ref> [[Democratic Socialists of America|Democratic Socialist]] [[Bernie Sanders]] adopted her prison industrial complex slogan as part of his [[Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign|2020 presidential election]] agenda.<ref>https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1104190335805255680</ref>
