There is much being said on Free Republic and in the halls of hell that just is not true in regards to what took place yesterday in Washington D.C.
I will start from the moment I arrived at the Ellipse area at 7:00am.

...which severely put a crimp in any other “dean’s office sitins” around the country.
Lotsa WOOD stuff on the insides.
The limitations of current technology.
Can you imagine the chaos when the tyrants can get hold of the web?
You folks think Zuckerberg sucks NOW; just WAIT!!
We arrived there at approx. just before 7 a.m. (walkway behind ellipse) which filled up very rapidly. Mayor Bow Wow had already pressured several coffee shops (frequented by leftists) to close in order to keep Trump supporters out.
People were still streaming in at 12:00 noon. The sound quality for speakers was poor where we were standing and there was a doppler effect going on with sound bouncing off the trees. At one point it appeared that the mike was cut off on a female speaker for about a minute.
This was the first rally we attended since we are from upstate NY and of course, the Prez was not going to waste his time in NY (or any other solid blue state). Everyone was chatty and cordial. It was quite chilly as the wind started to pick up. Sea of Trump flags everywhere and others climbed the nearby trees to get a better view.
Yes we were all disgusted that the election fraud was being summarily discarded by the swamp, however not surprised. Only a small handful were shouting “Insurrection.” We were more disgusted by the stream of turncoat RINOs which are still jumping ship even as we speak. Most of the crowd were fully aware of possibly being confronted by pAntifa and BLM, Inc. You were not allowed neither backpacks, flags, signs etc., in the main stage area (Mayor Bow Wow seeing that we couldn’t hold a real rally?) so most of us chose to just stand outside the Ellipse waving our flags and posters.
At the close of President Trump’s speech, there were again a few that were vocal about establishing Marshal Law and began to leave voicing a bit of disgust. Since I am 60 yrs old and my husband is 52, very physically robust yet having taken a pounding from decades of construction and sports, decided to walk to our hotel first and then see if we could make it back to the capitol. President Trump closed with “let’s walk down Pennsylvania Ave. and gather in front of the Capitol” (not breech the capitol).
As we were walking back to our hotel, a young man on the other side of the street appeared to be running toward the capitol holding a flag and saying “they have broken into the capitol, let’s go!” We continued to our hotel in Chinatown, which had basic fake news cable. All the cable channels, of course, were blaring away that “domestic terrorists, rioters, blah blah were storming the capitol.” Then they conflated the rally with the handful of people who made it into the capitol. We both rolled our eyes so high I think they are still stuck. The shooting began and then Mayor Bow Wow issued several emergency alerts on cell phones that kept going off establishing her 6 p.m. curfew. A big show of force whizzed by our hotel window with boatloads of police, fire squad, etc. Sirens wailed throughout the night and finally subsided around midnight.
Sure, carpet, drapes, furniture.
You riot, you gonna get tear gassed. The rioter’s life isn’t for buttercups.
We need to return to a citizen legislature as the founding fathers originally intended, rather a farmer with common sense than a lawyer with self interest.
The tweet was removed. Is there another link anywhere?
Thanks for this report. I was there also but do not have time to record my experience. Perhaps early tomorrow morning.
It was very presidential, but I haven't seen it shown since.
What was him to retreat from? A female 14 year USAF Veteran was just breaking a window. There is video showing armed LEO behind her on her side of the door and they did nothing as she broke the window. I personally believe it was a Congress critter's bodyguard wannabe cop. He was in a suit with no visual armor nor a helmet.
Either way, he committed murder or at least unjustified homicide. I don't think the system is going to protect him. Interestingly, the other side of the Capitol had Capitol Police escorting the protestors inside along a red rope. There are photos of that, also.
Obviously, Antifa ginned up the hysteria and some Patriots got caught up in the mob mentality, as happens. However, I've read no reports of defacing, destroying, stealing of historical paintings and artifacts. I have also read first hand reports that the Patriots asked them to maintain civility.
Then the Capitol Police figured enough and tear gassed them to leave. Saw many first hand reports of that also from Patriots who had been inside and left when the gas started. No shots on any of those folks.
Has that been verified as yet? I suspected it was a body guard of a Congress critter.
Crappy writing. Hard to follow.
But feel free to sum it up.
In the closing instant right before shooting, the shooter ADVANCES TOWARDS Ashli Babbitt in order to get a better shot, closing the gap between the muzzle and Ashli’s neck from about 7 feet to 5 feet.

My footage from January 6 trip... i was there at 10 am til about 1 pm

Thanks for posting this footage. It actually brought me to tears at one point—seeing and hearing from the Chinese and Vietnamese and Iranian-Americans you interviewed who appreciate the freedoms that we are possibly on the verge of losing.
And whom the evil lying media still insists on labeling as “white supremacists”, because if you listen to them that is who attended the rally,
