Yup.
And if it had been peaceful BLM protestors they would have been gassed, tased, and possibly shot.
Already some fucking idiot has been arrested in DC with fake inauguration papers, a loaded firearm, and around 500 rounds of ammo.
They need to seriously make examples of these clowns

Military men find calling a bunch of drunks with guns "an insurrection" offensive. We have 25,000+ troops in DC. They wouldn't run out of issue ammo if they had to, ahem, "quell" that riot.

Only 500 rounds?
I probably have that many rolled under my reloading bench...

That's the great thing about ammo carts.
BTW, the wife got me a toy for my birthday. (Similar but not identical.)

Apparently not.
That's gotta be a real letdown to the more rabid left....
Wonder what else they overstated - just a bit?
Lol, most of this based on the testimony of the accused and thus is worthless. Right he just "found" the twist ties.

Are you saying you couldn't do much damage with 500 rounds?
You miss that much?

Quote:Do you HAVE to play the either/or game?
Just because I want accurate reporting - and find the media's treatment of this event biased - does not mean I favor the idiots in question.
Your not you just downplay it as much as possible
Quote:This "protest" was a stupid idea implemented by stupid people.
I don't trust what the media says all the time - just like I don't trust what Trump and his ilk spews.
When they start inflating shit like body counts I trust them even less.
These people were not stupid they were malevolent. Nothing was inflated people died because of the storming either directly or as collateral damage.

Not the point.
The imagery of the attempt, has a very real impact on assholes who want to destroy our government. The fact they failed does not change the fact that the attempt was literally less than a minute away from the ability of killing members of congress and the VP.
We can expect future attempts by far right assholes on softer targets. Other state houses, or businesses or churches sympathetic to the left.
Trump succeeded in making domestic terrorism a long term concern.
