The red herring is calling it an unarmed insurrection. Five people died, at least two officers were driven to suicide, and lawmakers were seconds away from possibly being killed by an angry mob. And, yes, people had all kinds of weapons including guns. The cops were too overwhelmed to search people, but several who've been arrested now face gun charges.
4 people died from the protest. All of them were Trump supporters. The one officer who was thought to have been beaten over the head by fire extinguisher (pushed by all main networks) during the protest turned out to be false. The networks have silently retracted. That officer - who was also a Trump supporter - texted his brother that evening saying he was fine physically. iT sounds like he passed away in subsequent days - from what we do not know. The facts are still unclear but looks more and more that the death was entirely unrelated to the protest.
Long story short: an armed insurrection that was staged to overthrow the government resulted in 4 deaths to the "insurrectionists" themselves and 0 deaths to the "targets" of the protest itself. Oh ya, one of the unarmed woman insurrectionists was shot in cold-blood by an officer. Let's call for riots across the country!!!!!
You have been fed a lie.
