A girl I work with best friends went to the capitol last

week. Obviously, Trump supporters so you're getting one side to the story, but apparently a lot of the crowd was annoyed by the instigators.
No idea if that's true, but they said "millennial punks" (these people were mid-forties) were getting the crowd stirred up.
Seems like similar stories you would hear from the BLM riots.

This should not get overlooked in all of the tumult about the seditious actions.
ALL of the people who went to DC and the Save America rally were unhinged from the reality of the complete lack of evidence presented in dozens of court cases across the country.
And they wanted to discount the 80 million Americans who voted for Biden/Harris. They were seeking to force their perceptive reality upon the democratic majority.
It might not be sedition, but it ain't just some tour of Washington, DC either.

been identified don't seem to be fitting that narrative.
I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure, but it sure sounds like more wishful thinking than actual fact...meaning I think Trump supporters hope/wish it was not really other Trump supporters behaving like this.

handled...arrested, shot, whatever...instead of allowed to tear down statues, destroy downtown areas of cities, etc then the "other side" wouldn't have been as bold either.
It's just crazy to me that we allow these riots to occur.

The ones out front dragging away press and cops.
Folks are trying to whitewash what was really going on. Apparently the feds made contact with many of the leaders telling them to show up in DC and face arrest on arrival. Luckily this led to a much more disorganized assault.
Lotta cops and military still in that crowd though.

with a rifle, three handguns, plenty of ammo and 11 jars of homemade napalm. Plenty of other examples in this link. Don't make excuses. A lot of these people showed up to do damage and they were not millennials. Thank God this stuff wasn't used.
I'm sure not everyone that showed up seriously intended on entering the Capitol building. Just like not everyone that protested for BLM intended to loot a Target. But history won't remember those people; it will remember what the bulk of the mob actually did.

Maybe it is. Use whatever term you like.

The fact of the matter is the Capitol was stormed, the election confirmation was disrupted, and police officer and four other people died, so nobody cares about the folks that "didn't intend on actually storming the building", or what percentage of the mob actually did. Same as how nobody cares that over 90% of the BLM protesters did nothing but walk around holding signs and shouting slogans.

I bet they were irritated. It killed their cause. It's kind of like when BLM were protesting and rioting for so long, I wanted them all arrested or shot or whatever. They were just helping Trump by doing that. Anyway, those peeps at Capitol crushed the Trump movement. They hurt their cause.

the conspiracies Rush and Trump and the rest of that group push, he is the furthest from a violent person. He just went up close to the capital and was one of the many thousands that was there to just show their support for Trump/ anger for what they saw was a rigged election. While I disagree with the reasons for being up there and supporting what he does, there were many people like him who were not there with violent intentions.

Listen, I may be wrong (& you guys can point out examples of such to me) but i don't think any of the more liberal members of this board have labeled everyone at the Save America rally as seditious insurgents. I am sure that the majority of them never went past the capital steps.
But everyone who watched the cops being overrun and then went into the Capitol Building should be viewed with suspicion. There was a line crossed there, regardless of what one did inside.
That is NOT to say that everyone who went inside should be dealt with in the same way. From various videos, some of them were more aggressive in their actions while inside and they should be set apart for more harsh punishments.
But everyone who went inside broke the law and contributed to this insurrection.
