At the rally I asked someone to give an interview and he declined because he was trying to listen... the crowd did not leave until trump finished speaking...

actually some did. We were standing on the sidewalk of Constitution Avenue. The sound system wasn’t quite up to par. Amazingly the crowd of a million or so went silent when Trump was speaking. When he mentioned a peaceful walk to the Capitol some began to stream out down Constitution.

Since it became impossible to hear, at that point we began to meander over as well.

A call to action inciting a riot would have cause a loud cheer of FREEDOM and a rush to invade the capitol. Instead it was a slow and fun walk as we talked with Patriots and enjoyed the day.

We found a place on the Capitol Lawn. The police were tossing teargas and flashbangs into the crowd. There was no violence that we could see. There were people who got past the police and went up on the bleachers. Some were pepper sprayed but they remained on the bleachers. At one point maybe 75 people were up there waving flags and cheering. About 15 police came and it looked like asked them to move to one area of the bleachers. There was no obvious force witnessed.

After having been there a couple hours, I looked back and people were still meandering over. If that’s what they call incitement, Trump is the worst provocateur ever.

We didn’t hear about any violence until we were walking toward the car and someone said they saw people with hammers breaking windows. We figured that was Antifa and on the other side of the building.
