Excellent report and glad you made it back.
They are damn heroes in my estimation.

“Insurrection” ???
When the 250000 unarmed Trump Supporters stood around, and stayed for a few hours, and then went home
?
If it was an ‘Insurrection’ it would still be occupied by 1000s still. Sorry No armed mob - a protest.

“Terrorism’ shrieked the demlefty media ...
A few dozen who look to include antifa types easily break into the Capitol Building (during highest security EVER).

“Violence”, “Riot” ???
Pushing some barricades ? Few Hundreds Standing around on the steps of the Capitol, which they just walked upto ...
???
Good report. Sounds like we were within 50-100’ of you for the Ellipse rally.
We stayed on the back lawn, maybe 200 feet from the steps. The Capitol Police seemed woefully unprepared. They kept tossing flashbangs and teargas.
Some younger men scaled the scaffolding and stood on top waving flags. They also owned the high ground of the media platform. Eventually one guy made it onto the bleachers that were set up for the inauguration. As he waved a flag, he was gently made to leave by a single female officer. It seemed he went willingly and easily.
As time moved on, the crowd roared “Who’s House? our House” and a few other things. Soon, 50-75 people made their way onto the bleachers. About a dozen police came out and moved them into one section. They seemed to move without much challenge. Many were able to stay for quite a while.
It was an incredibly exuberant crowd/ We were justifiably angry but not rioting. Republicans don’t know how to riot. Not one of us got a big screen TV out of the deal.
While I was some distance away, I didn’t see anyone trying to get in to the building. What I did see was about a million America patriots showing their anger at an illegitimate and stolen election.
At one level Congress should be absolutely terrified of the people. The GOP sold out our liberties for a bowl of oatmeal from tyrants.
