American legislatures are surprisingly civil historically speaking when compared to other legislatures. We've had TWO incidents of legislative violence (Sumner slavery incident and 6 January incident). Meanwhile, in Britain, Parliament devolves into a shouting fest every week during Prime Minister's Questions and don't forget how happy Parliament was to send people they didn't like to the gallows in the past. The French legislature did the same.
Taiwan's legislature turns into a free-for-all fistfight whenever the government presents a controversial bill. Japan's National Diet members will literally eat the paper to prevent a bill's passage.
Taiwan doesn't fuck around lol
Relieved to see that Double Dare is alive and well somewhere
I mean I guess it depends on your definition of "legislative violence", but I feel like you are forgetting a certain "states rights" incident here...
Does it?
Yeah, there're even YouTube videos about it that get hundreds of thousands of views on the regular. How many channels that feature Congress Cam can boast the same?
We have several cable channels that live stream the US Congress called C-SPAN (1-3). They’ve existed since the 90s. I think they’re also on YouTube, but I’m not sure.
People put it on to fall asleep.
Have you got an example?

Your definition of shouting is far removed from reality.
They're all literally yelling at and over each other red faced and at the top of their lungs.
What on the world is your definition of shouting?
No they aren't.
You should try actually watching the video, troll.
I did, but nice attempt at an insult. I also saw it live when it happened.
I wasn't attempting anything. You're obviously a troll.
Have a good day.
It was a poor attempt. Obviously not. You won't be missed.
We're not as bad as the other guys, so we're okay how we are?
Nonsense.
Nobody said that.
