I’ve said it from the beginning and frankly I don’t think people realize how true it is. They were incredibly lucky that a mob of people actively attacking congress wasn’t shot dead to a man.
Not that I think that would have actually been the best outcome, frankly I think that would have started an outright civil war and nobody wins that (not to mention that many innocent people almost certainly would have been caught up in it in the moment itself. But it very, very easily could have been.
The lady that climbed trough the window and got shot actually saved a lot of lives because had they managed to break down the door as a group, everyone remotely close to the door would have been killed.
The one thing that mob did right was to leave their guns in their trucks (possibly only because they wouldn’t have been allowed into the area otherwise - I’m curious if any of them tried and were turned back before they even reached the protest zone). Had one of them brandished a firearm, the story of that day would have been quite different.
