100k people there at a protest.GannonFan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 3:24 pmI agree with this basically. It was a violent mob and it certainly was a riot. But there was 0.00% chance of it ever resulting in a coup or a threat to our democracy or anything else some people have said it was a "close call". A couple hundred whackos wearing MAGA hats weren't about to make the other 330 million of us agree to whatever puppet government they would've tried to set up. I think this is why the closing of the Capitol building for almost 2 years irks me. Nothing that happens there, and no one who works there, is so central to our democracy that without them we would be doomed. Washington DC isn't that important, nor the folks who work there.
725 been charged. Most just tresspass
225 been charged with more. Google it.
So yeah, a violent mob amd riot where 99.693 were peaceful.
