At 12:12 a.m., a stray bullet from one of the nearly 200 rounds fired in the area penetrated the second- floor window of Luna’s apart- ment, hitting him in the head and grazing the woman, also in the JOHN J.

CAPITOL CHAOS Tech giants lock Trump’s accounts Facebook, Instagram ban his posts until Biden inauguration By David Klepper and Matt O’Brien Associated Press

After years of treating President Donald Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric with a light touch, Facebook and Instagram are silencing his social media accounts for the rest of his presidency. The move, which many called long overdue follow- ing Wednesday’s deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capi- tol, is also a reminder of the enormous power that social media platforms can wield when they choose. Facebook and Instagram said Thursday that they will bar Trump from posting at least until the inaugura- tion of President-elect Joe Biden. Twitter said that it’s still evaluating whether to lift or extend what started as a 12-hour lockdown of Trump’s account. It remains unclear how the platforms will handle Trump once he leaves office Trump items remain for sale Thursday outside the U.S. Capitol, which supporters of the president stormed and ransacked the day before.

Nation holds firm on quarantines and entry restrictions By Raymond Zhong The New York Times

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Consider for a moment, in this time of anguish and loss and death, of mass unem- ployment and flattened national economies, the “Twilight Zone” alternate reality that is Taiwan. For month, life on the island has been, in a word, normal — spookily so. Weddings have been held worry-free. People have packed pro ballgames, attended concerts and thronged night markets. Taiwan’s population is larger than Florida’s, but its COVID-19 death toll can be counted on two hands.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Who we are The rioting at the Capitol has politicians saying, “This is not who we are.” Unfortu- nately, this is who we are, but it is not how we want to be. We are America. We acknowledge all the virtues and the faults of our citizens. We are not proud of the anger and dysfunctional behavior of some members of our citizenry, but they are a part of us. We are America. We swell with pride at the courage our medical personnel take on a daily basis to fight the COVID-19 virus; we chuckle over meaningless cat videos; we cry at the loss of a fallen firefighter; we sometimes let our fears get the best of us; we play the lottery and volunteer when our help is needed. We are America, with all the strengths and warts of any individual. We chose to rise out of the ashes of the Chicago Fire, Pearl Harbor and 9/11 to build a better community, a better nation. We are America, a nation built on the faith and the hope that there is justice for all, a place of refuge for the fearful and a dream that one day peace will come. — The Rev. Dan Shutters, Grayslake Call to ‘love thy neighbor’ Can we rise from the ashes of Wednesday? I hope so. The right to assemble is not a right to riot. More than 50 people were arrested Wednesday, and there will be more arrests. I wonder if the jails could hold everyone in- volved in the assault on the Capitol. I don’t know what laws are in place, but I do think very, very stiff fines might be a deterrent at best, and a punishment at the least, for rioters. There have been way too many riots in the recent past, whether for causes just or unjust. These are some of the things that need im- provement: better security in large cities and state capitols that can be targets of mob vi- olence, better tactics to de-escalate mobs and more ways to make those who feel disenfran- chised to feel that they, too, belong to the whole of society. In other words, we need a whole lot more of “love thy neighbor” than hate speech and incitement to riot. — Alice Marcus Solovy, Highland Park The tears of Liberty For a brief moment in history, Lady Liberty came down from her pedestal.

A Chicago-area businessman has been indicted on federal fraud charges for allegedly ob- taining more than $420,000 in small business loans through COVID-19 relief programs even though his company had no employees or ongoing operations. Carlos Smith, 56, of Park Forest, was charged in an indict- ment unsealed Tuesday with two counts of wire fraud, one count of making false statements to a financial institution, and one count of money laundering. Smith was scheduled to be arraigned on the charges in a telephone hearing on Jan. 14 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Manish Shah. Smith did not have an attor- ney listed in court records as of Thursday.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF Spotlight’s brightest night Title game opportunity for top players to impress NFL By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press

Former LSU linebacker Patrick Queen is a good example of how a huge performance in a national championship game can help a player boost his NFL draft stock. Queen was a rising prospect through- out last season and capped it by being the defensive MVP of the College Football Play- off championship victory against Clemson. About three and half months later, Queen was selected in the first round by the Ravens at No. 28 overall. No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Ohio State head into the national title game Monday night with a slew of future NFL players. The matchups will not only determine who wins a championship, but could also influence where some of their stars are drafted. “You do want to look into a player’s ability to play in the clutch and in the big moments because obviously when you’re putting together a football team, an NFL roster, your goal is to be playing in the playoffs,” said Jim Nagy, Senior Bowl executive director and a former NFL scout. “So you want to look at the consequential games. The games that really matter.” Alabama center Landon Dickerson, who is out with a knee injury, and guard Deonte Brown have already accepted invitations to the Senior Bowl on Jan. 30, Nagy said. Heisman Trophy-winning receiver DeVonta Smith, star running back Najee Harris and tackle Alex Leatherwood have also been invited. For Ohio State, center Josh Myers, running back Trey Sermon, linebackers Tuf Borland and Barron Browning, and defen- sive end Jonathon Cooper plan to take part in the Senior Bowl, Nagy said. Invitations have also been extended to defensive tackle Haskell Garrett and line- backer Pete Werner. There are perhaps 20 players who could potentially be drafted in April after playing for the Crimson Tide and Buckeyes. Quarterbacks Ohio State’s Justin Fields was amazing against Clemson, throwing six touchdown QB Justin Fields made a big impression with six TD passes in Ohio State’s semifinal victory over Clemson.

Continued from Page 1 sentiments — eat the rich/curl up with “Bridgerton” — can be true. Our brains are sophisticated, and I think we can hold two opposing ideas at once. Even so, I’m curious about the money. I’m always curious about the money and why we’re not talking about it more when it comes to the worlds depicted in TV and film. Consider “Bridgerton’s” first season, which revolves around the flirtations and eventual marriage of Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page). What if we were to transpose that story to the antebellum American South? I don’t think it would work for most viewers, even though the wealth in Regency England was derived from the very same exploitation of Black people. We can’t talk about the riches of the early 19th century without talking about the white supremacy that empowered it. Fortunes were accumulated as a result of the slave trade; even after it was outlawed in England in 1807, there was considerable money to be made from the labor of en- slaved people in the colonies. That reality is left intentionally unad- dressed in “Bridgerton.” To do otherwise LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX would transform the series into an entirely Regé-Jean Page as Simon Basset and Phoebe Dynevor as Daphne Bridgerton on the Netflix series “Bridgerton.” different type of story.
