yes I skipped their narratives and just watched the videos and the timelines.

There are two weird anomalies. The first is the "fed" guy who was on the streets the night before saying "we need to take the capitol" and he was there at the first breach. The second was the reporter from japan who analyzed the shooting in the capitol building.

Well, I decide to go back to the NYT article, and it seems to me the narrative is part and parcel of what's described. For example, there is:

Now rioters stand off with the police in the hall, feet away from the entrance to the Senate chamber. Senators are still milling about inside.

Is this in the area where Ms. Babbit was killed? The vids I've seen of that are of protesters who seem to be at that time getting along with the police just fine. Everyone there seems stunned when the young lady is shot - hardly the reaction of a riotous mob or the police up against such.

Granted I can't get the vids at the link to play, so the descriptions given I assume come from a typical "hate Trump and his supporters" viewpoint and interpretation?

For me a crucial question is who initiated violence, use of chemicals, etc., first? Trump supporters? Antifa types? The police? FReepers on scene (but not breaking in!) have indicated initial police use of flash bangs and tear gas angered the crowd, and escalated the situation, but is that a full picture?
