Where was that pic posted from. There has been no police reports nor arrests of firearms on 1/6.

You're right; I made a mistake. That image is from the militia storming the Michigan state capitol, not the 1/6 riot. Sorry about that and thanks for bringing it to my attention. My eyes must have skipped over the "Michigan" part.

If you're interested in the exact charges being brought against the Capitol rioters here is a table listing them. No mention of shots fired, but some mentions of knives, tasers, and yes guns being brought to the Capitol.

I’m familiar with what happened at the Capitol. Including how Pelosi rejected repeated requests for security. Including left wing groups that took on the appearance of Trump supporters. I watched a few changed appearances right on camera outside.

Was that image you posted of a militia ? Or of guys who legally went to the Michigan Capitol? Did they threaten anyone ?

I’m still wondering why the same concern was not noted in 2011 when the Wisconsin Capitol was seized for a MONTH. Costing millions of dollars in expenses not to mention the injuries. Every room and office of the WI Capitol was broken into. They refused to leave.

Originally only 52 people were arrested that day. However they reviewed recordings and arrested the rest later at their homes. In comparison to the close to 500 that were arrested during the riots in DC alone. Then they were let go of course. But, Could you imagine how many more would have been arrested if they reviewed recordings and arrested those people at home as well ? Imagine the number of arrests nationwide last summer. And the riots continue. I refuse to buy into how one situation is worse than another. Well actually I view the never ending riots worse. They are not being handled so they are continuing.
