Re: "NO ONE brought firearms into the capitol and shot anyone"...well you're half right
This one guy, Christopher Alberts, was charged with carrying a gun and ammunition on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol building on January 6th. And I'm sure there were more who were packing, they just weren't caught...so does this count as an Insurrection? Technically it does..so I guess you and Leo Gohmert are wrong?
And you ask "WHY DIDN'T A TAKEOVER OF THE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY HAPPEN? " Good question...but the question that should be asking is why even try to breach the capital? Why the rowdiness? Busting down the doors and all that nonsense. What was their objectives?? The end game?? What would have happened if they actually cornered Pence??
I guess some of the trump terrorist wanted this guys gas mask....peaceful would you say?
I haven't been able to find out if Christopher Alberts entered the capital building and the fact that all the news reports say he was on capitol grounds is the left-wing slant of implying he was in Nancy Pelosi's office waving his weapon around!!! Except he wasn't. NOW did he draw the weapon? Brandish it in a threatening manner? Shoot capitol policemen? any congressperson? Humm just looked it up NOPE, HE DIDINT!
So You're sure that there were more protesters that were packing? Then if they were? AND hell bent on taking over the goverment... why didn't they pull them out? Kill the Capitol Police and then members of Congress? THAT would have counted as an Insurrection. But since that didint happen your claims of insurection are wrong.
Your question of what would have happened if rioters had found Vice President Pence? Plain and simply, If the Secret Service had felt the rioters were ANY kind of a threat, the rioters would have been Deader than Fried Chicken! End of discussion. The secret service is more than capable and ready to defend their charges.
Why did they go in you ask? Since I wasn't there I am betting it was idiots caught up in the moment NOT a coordinated assault ordered buy President Trump as you all wish so fervantly that was the case. History has born out that it was NOT an actual takeover of the government.
So if the protesters werent using firearms why did one of the Cops shoot a protester? My personal theroy is he was Barny Fife, jumped the gun and killed an unarmed girl becuse he was a complete fucking pussy! He looked like he panicked and when the gun actually went off he probably pissed himself. The way he stood there with the gun overextended, gripping and regripping the pistol, you don't do that BTW, its bad skill at arms. He completly FAILED to Issue any verbal commands to stop... ran out from behind his cover and pulled the trigger ambush style. COMPLETE Failure for the use of deadly force. If he had been ANY kind of real cop he could have easily subdued her. He should be charged just like any other cop who shoots an unarmed person. But he won't be. ON TOP of all this, there was a full-blown tac team Armed with better weaponry than my Marines carried on our THIRD tour in Iraq, RIGHT behind her!! If she was that big of a threat they could have stopped her.
Let me say one more time. THESE PEOPLE should not have breached the capital building it just doesn't add up to me that you're going to break in with that ferocity then do... basically vandalism and selfies? This whole thing has just never made sense to me. I've seen mobs overseas overrun actual armed and trained soldiers and they meant deadly business, these guys were... the were like tourists not the terrorists you all want them to be.
