It was not a riot. Honest people must not parrot the propaganda.
The few thousand people who made it to the Capitol, arriving before President Trump finished his speech, engaged in a relatively mild riot.
I have been in a fair number of riots and demonstrations over the years, from Arizona to Wisconsin to Panama.
It was a riot, but a mild one, and clearly *not* an "insurrection".
I suspect a significant number of agent provocateurs, but overall coordination was poor.
I was covering it for AmmoLand.
Preparation to keep demonstrators out of the Capitol was poorly thought out.
