My understanding is this:
- A bunch of people went to protest in DC.
- The police defense of the capitol was weak and they pretty much let people into the capital, waving them in even.
- People entered the capitol building as if it were a museum attraction. For the most part it was largely peaceful with people even taking selfies with police officers. - There was some violence, pushing and shoving and guys yelling at each other but a far cry from anything that happened at the Portland riots.
- Some police officer lost his eye apparently? Sucks but kids lose their eye playing with sticks and stones... it happens. Sad but pretty minor
- A woman gets shot by a private security guy. All the woman was doing was breaking a window. She was standing next to a police officer so she thought what she was doing was fine and wasn't going to get her killed
- Politicians pretended like their life was in danger and overreacted. Meanwhile most guys were just taking selfies sitting in people's offices and posting on instagram.
- Potentially people were chanting "hang Pence" so presumably they were all going to hang the politicians or something.
Anyway, did I cover it? Seems like a mostly peaceful protest tbh and not a big deal. What's the big deal? I don't get it.
Anti was let in and given weapons from someone inside the bldg. it was setup
But there were a lot of mega in the building as well. I don't disagree there were definitely antifa there but not everyone in the building was antifa. There were lots of mega people too. In any of these riots/protests there's almost always plain clothes police, FBI, antifa, etc...
I don't quite follow the "setup" thing tbh. Like what was setup? The entering the building? The police let people in. MAGAs would have entered too and many did because they thought they were being let in. Some MAGAs wanted to push forward. Some agitators like antifa encouraged people on etc... This is all normal riot stuff and everyone should have expected this outcome so not sure what the problem is.
The antifas were given weapons to start violence. They were being protected by the police the night before. Theres vids of all of this
