Insurrection, lol. There wasn't one....or that was the most sorry one I've ever seen in the history of mankind.
I agree. If it had been an insurrection every one of them would have been armed and they would have shot the shit out of the Capital buildings.
None of them were armed.
uh - ya.... some definitely were ARMED. others came with WEAPONS that injured, maimed & probably led to the death of policeman.
PREPARING FOR ‘WAR’
Prosecutors say Cleveland Meredith, whose lives in North Carolina, according to his lawyer, loaded his truck and trailer with weapons and headed to Washington, but arrived too late to join the riot. When police searched his truck the next day, they found a high-powered rifle and thousands of rounds of ammunition, including bullets the FBI described as armor-piercing.
Others were armed during the riot: A police officer said he noticed a bulge on the hip of Christopher Alberts - who was dressed in body armor and carrying a gas mask - as he filed out of the Capitol grounds, according to court records. When they stopped him, they found a loaded handgun. Alberts’ lawyer did not respond to questions about the case.
