The Capitol Rioters Aren’t Like Other Extremists – The Atlantic

The Capitol Rioters Aren’t Like Other Extremists – The Atlantic

On January 6, a mob of about 800 stormed the U.S. Capitol in support of former President Donald Trump, and many people made quick assumptions regarding who the insurrectionists were. Because a number of the rioters prominently displayed symbols of right-wing militias, for instance, some experts called for a crackdown on such groups. Violence organized and carried out by far-right militant organizations is disturbing, but it at least falls into a category familiar to law enforcement and the general public. However, a closer look at the people suspected of taking part in the Capitol riot suggests a different and potentially far more dangerous problem: a new kind of violent mass movement in which more “normal” Trump supporters—middle-class and, in many cases, middle-aged people without obvious ties to the far right—joined with extremists in an attempt to overturn a presidential election.

Georeferencing Vermont’s Historic Aerial Imagery in QGIS: How-to and Lessons Learned | by Cale Kochenour | Vermont Center for Geographic Information | Medium

Editor’s Preface: Obtaining, digitizing, georeferencing and publishing historical Vermont orthoimagery are some of the many things we at VCGI wish there were more time and resources to do. Fortunately, we’ve been lucky to have met Cale Kochenour, a Vermonter and current graduate student in GIS and remote sensing at Penn State. Cale has graciously volunteered not only to georeference some of the digitized old black and white VT orthoimagery we’ve collected over the years, but also document for others the process and lessons learned. Learn more about the imagery program here, and access imagery via the Vermont Open Geodata Portal here.
