“Amazing the amount of support here on free republic for these ‘protestors’.”
It appears that there were two entirely different types of protesters.
There were actual peaceful protesters, who have a right to be in the Capitol observing their employees doing their job in the House and Senate. They had a right to be there and the police didn’t have the right to barricade them out.
Then there were the Antifa embedded evildoers who purposely blended with the citizens. They had to create chaos and instigate the murder of a person — any person — to get the ball rolling for the coup.

6 Jan: Arizona Republic: Longtime Arizona QAnon supporter in horned helmet joins storming of U.S. Capitol
by Richard Ruelas
PIC
Among the supporters of President Donald Trump who mobbed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, one – unmistakable in his fur, horned hat and painted face – was Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year...
Reached on his cell phone Wednesday evening, Angeli refused an interview with The Arizona Republic.
He did speak with a correspondent from the Globe and Mail of Toronto, according to a Tweet from that reporter, saying that police had stopped trying to block him and other Trump supporters and let them into the Capitol. After some time, according to the Tweet, Angeli said police politely asked him to leave...

I spoke with Jake Angeli, the QAnon guy who got inside the Senate chamber. He said police eventually gave up trying to stop him and other Trump supporters, and let them in. After a while, he said police politely asked him to leave and let him go without arrest

Those sound exactly like the claims used by the left to justify the ANTIFA, ie, “mostly peaceful protesters” and “right wing instigators blending in with the ‘peaceful protesters”. FWIW, the claims of ANTIFA embedes have only slim support, ie, claims that two ANTIFA were detected using face matching software. Even if that is true, you cannot blame all the chaos on only two ‘mostly peaceful protesters.’
BTW, access to the Capitol is closely controlled at all times. One does not just walk in to observe their ‘employees’ at work. One does not have full access to all the Capitol either.
