This is a list of (hopefully all) the documented incidents of political violence in Washington, D.C. The article was in bad shape before the 2021 Storming of the United States Capitol, but after fixing up the source issues, adding some images from the famous incidents, and reworking the prose of each entry, I feel that it's approaching WP:FL status. This is my first time nominating anything, so I appreciate any and all help throughout the process. Thrakkx (talk) 21:39, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Thoughts from Guerillero

• Needs a lead
  • No FL starts with "The following is a list of"
• No violence during the civil war? Baltimore was pretty much occupied at the time
• There is no uniting theme of this list. Ex. I don't see how the DC Sniper is comparable to the Storming of the United States Capitol. How much violence? How much of a political bent?
• There is some definite cherry picking to the point that I have major NPOV concerns.
  • November 14, 2020 is included but not any of the violence that happened at the WTO meetings in the 90s and early 2000s
  • There was arson this summer during the george floyd protests.
  • DC burned in 1976 from unrest
• outside the White House President George W. Bush was inside
• Day 1989 probably needs an ID number
• Use of primary sources is a question
