Why is the US Capitol LEGO set trending?
THE Danish toy company LEGO has been around since 1932. A toy that is loved by adults and children all over the world started trending on July 7, 2021. The US Capitol LEGO set started trending after the FBI seized a "fully constructed" LEGO set of the Capitol from the home of Robert Morss. Morss, 27, is one of 535 people who have been charged in connection with the deadly riots on January 6, 2021. In a court document dated July 2, 2021, it was reported that law enforcement found clothing that matched with Morss was wearing at the Capitol riots and they also discovered a 'Dont Tread on Me' flag, a neck gaiter, a military utility bag, a black tourniquet, and military fatigues.  Prosecutors in his case also claim that Morss has a notebook that included Step by Step To Create Hometown Militia, it has not be said if the LEGO set played a part in the planning of the riots. Morss currently faces nine charges in relation to the riots including assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees; civil disorder; robbery of the personal property of the United States and obstruction of an official proceeding. Following the release of the report, many people took to Twitter to joke about it. "Not just a partially assembled Lego set. A fully assembled Lego set. Chilling," Michael Tracey joked. Others joined in the humor of the situation. One user tweeted, "Busted! Everybody knows that if you're planning a really good insurrection you star with Legos." Busted!

THIS IS THE POLICE. OPEN UP. The Lego Group was founded in Bilund, Denmark by Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen. Born in 1891, Christiansen began to make small, affordable, wooden household products during the Great Depression. Among those products were small wooden toys, which led to the creation of LEGO, from the Danish words 'LEg GOdt' that means 'play well.' The company started off with small wooden toys in 1932 and by 1947, started making the plastic self-locking building blocks we all know and love today. Christiansen died in 1958.
