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.
