So Joe was just there to peacefully protest and had to use the bathroom, so he figured he'd walk several blocks to the Capitol?

Why did the police let them in with no resistance?

Why weren’t they met with overwhelming force?


That's my point exactly, that I made in tbe original post. Incompetent leadership, poor planning. Lots of people should be and will be fired.

I believe it was planned and let them in on purpose.

If it was a trap, it worked.

Police were clearly outnumbered. This event was certainly predictable. They're should have beem large numbers of armed National Guard troops around the Capitol before the crowd syarted to arrive. No one would have gotten in, and 5 people would be alive today.

So you think it was planned to let them in at one entrance, and pepper spray them and fight with them at another entrance.

Well, ok then.

Im sure there were a few people there antifa, but there were a large majority of trump supporters, and there is multiple videos showing them breaking glass, having zip ties, etc. take responsibilty, or deny and come up with ridiculous stories

This is a very real possibility and I agree.

Heads rolled at the Secret Service over that and several other examples of incompetence. They'll roll at the Capitol Police also.

The chief of the Capitol Police already resigned.. I don’t even think it took a day. It was definitely a massive failure by their leadership.

Protesters have alleged that antifa infiltrated the crowd. If that's the case, Muslim suicide bombers could have easily gotten in and hundreds could have been killed. Don't be surprised when that happens at some point.

This. I’m honestly amazed that only one person got shot after seeing videos of some of the interactions. The second, third, and fourth people in the line of presidential succession were in that building. OTOH, I’m not sure how much more they could have done with the resources they (apparently) had, short of using lethal force sooner. They were woefully outnumbered and I’m sure nobody wanted to be the first to fire shots.
