I do not believe that a single baseball bat and a single stun gun (which seems to be the extent of things that could be called ‘arms’) carried by delusional idiots without a plan, is grounds for calling the entire affair an ‘armed insurrection’. I’d hardly call it an ‘insurrection’ either for the same reason - no plan just rowdy people, comprising about 1/10 of 1% with the rest of half a million people being mostly peaceful marchers and lookie lou’s, some of which were actively involved in protecting the building and officers therein.
What we did see that was even more shocking, was lawmakers who feel themselves so above the ‘rabble,’ so conditioned to fear the public by the antifa crowd’s summer activities, so into their cocktail circuit elitism, so focused on careers as influencers instead of representatives of The People, that they were afraid to step out to red-roped Statuary Hall, and address the Republican crowd and say, ‘hi, everybody sit down, now, what can we do for you today’? Not one stepped up. That, was the most remarkable, and lasting, impression of the event.
“Influencers instead of Representatives of the people”!!! This !!!!!
