Fans think ‘The Simpsons’ predicted Capitol Hill riots in 1996

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
January 9, 2021

WASHINGTON: After angry pro-Trump protestors wreaked havoc inside the US Capitol Hill Building, fans are getting freaked out once again after ‘The Simpsons’ seemingly predicted the riots in an unearthed episode.

The animated series that started almost 31 years ago, is infamous for making accurate predictions of major events even before they happen. This time, an unearthed episode from 1996, titled ‘The Day the Violence Died’, showed an angry mob inciting violence at the Capitol Hill.

The 1996 episode showed glimpses of a riot with a number of characters storming the Capitol with bombs and guns after a constitutional amendment. Francis Creaven tweeted the clip from the episode, saying, “Simpsons predicted it many years ago.” The scene had an uncanny resemblance to what happened on Wednesday.

In the video from the animated series, the violence appears to be sparking over a ratified amendment that legalizes policemen to “beat those liberal freaks.” With gun-shots, explosions and riots going off atop Capitol Hill, an angry protestor can be seen yelling “Doors open, boys!”

Another eerie screenshot from one of the episodes showed an armed Homer sitting atop a house while his surroundings are set ablaze. The episode showed a glimpse of the future, dated around “January 20, 2021,” making the accuracy all the more shocking.
