"There were no weapons" God these people are stuck on stupid.Attacking the Capitol is already an act of violence. Cops (and protesters) were injured and some died (during and after).
Chants like "Hang Mike Pence" were heard.
Things like this were set up. The VP had to be rushed out under heavy security. This isn't even before we get to Democrats whose offices were invaded by goons. Who knows what would've happened to them had they been in them.
