This is an insurrection? One person was killed and it was a demonstrator. It I wanted to take over the capital I'd at least have a gun. Those demonstrators had no intention of an insurrection.

And here's an affidavit from one of the rioters who states that that was exactly what they were trying to do.

Seriously, you don't need to go any further than the words of the rioters themselves to figure out what they expected to do.

The number of people killed has nothing to do with whether or not it's an insurrection.



Quote: It I wanted to take over the capital I'd at least have a gun. 
 Whether they were armed or not has nothing to do with wheater or not it's an insurrection.



Quote:Those demonstrators had no intention of an insurrection.
Yes, they did and they were not demonstrators.

I guess you and your boys know better for next time..but then again, so do the cap forces.  It was strange to see so many people climbing up the rotunda without the sound of a 249 peeling out.

Turns out baseball bats, pepper spray, flapoles and some gear stolen from beaten cops won't cut it. The QRF drop was too far away to get to the long guns in time....and some asshole foiled the pipebomb plot....but by that point it was all pretty much over, right? Everyone fleeing any way they could before law enforcement collared them.

I see you have a traitors heart. That'll be handy, I'm sure.

What are you going to do? Shoot a bunch of unarmed protesters climbing the wall? Those people were pretty scary - especially the woman who was killed. She was really scary!

Yes, that's what I would do. They were lucky to get a mulligan on their first go round. I doubt the next attempt will be as much fun.
