Of all the people who watched the riot at the U.S. Capitol unfold last week, no one saw it the way a great-grandpa sitting on his couch in Chicago did.
Terrance Gainer, 73, was once the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police and the Senate's sergeant at arms. He used to be the one in charge of preventing the very calamity at the Capitol he saw on his television and computer screens, a calamity he used to believe could never happen.

'We're going to liberate Minnie Mouse': The day Yippies invaded Disneyland, and shut down the park

About 300 hippies singing the Mickey Mouse Club song march with the Disneyland Band down the Main Street of the 'Magic Kingdom" as part of a "National Yippie Day." Police from several near-by cities were called in and as night fell six had been arrested and the park was being closed. (Photo by Bettmann Archive/Getty Images)Bettmann/Bettmann Archive
Before the pandemic shuttered Disneyland in March, there had only been a few days that the park had unplanned closures: the day after John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, after the Northridge earthquake in 1994, and after 9/11. But there was another day, in 1970, when Disneyland was overtaken by protesters, whose number and fury — about Minnie Mouse and miniskirts — closed the park early.
