    Well I looked into it, and there were 4 confirmed people who brought guns. I’m certain there were others who were never discovered, but clearly violence was not a serious part of the plan to overthrow the government. I’m certain that some of the more extreme members were capable of violence and even murdering certain politicians, but that has always been true. It has also always been wrong and we should never act like it’s ok no matter who is attempting it.

      clearly violence was not a serious part of the plan to overthrow the government.

      This is the single most delusional string of words I’ve ever read.

      You go from claiming that there was no coherent plan, to saying that the plan is “clear” enough that we can rule out violence as a part of it.

      4 people fucking died in a coordinated attempt to storm the capitol where an armed mob assaulted and killed police officers, smashed through windows, pissed and shit in hallways and offices, and demanded that politicians be killed.

      And you’re saying that violence “clearly” wasn’t part of the plan?

      Is this some kind of bit where you pretend to be as stupid as possible, because I don’t get it.

            Well except there is a whole police force in the way, and they ALL have guns. The one person who possibly posed a danger to congress members was immediately shot dead when she tried to get close.
