Over in that nearby 'Capitol Insurrection Hearings' thread....an old thread re-freshed just today, I noted some metrics that I had been hunting for.
So, I'd like to make this thread just about the numbers.
How many were there?
How many entered the building?
How many were content to stay outside and break the laws?
In short, what was the count on the folks who illegally entered the Capitol building on January 6th? And, in posts #1313 and 1315 of that thread we see the Sedition Hunters webpage offers one metric: 1,569 illegally entered.
I am pretty sure I have seen another number, but cannot recall where, that number was something like 2,100. Note: these are folks who entered the Capitol itself, not necessarily all who broke laws. Some of the Dicks&Karens who may have beating the crap outta the police outside the building may not have actually entered it. So the number of perps may be higer. And that may be where my elusive "2,100" arises?
And from other sources (Business Insider, for one) we note that about 768 of those lawbreakers have been arrested. So, depending on the base number...1,569 or 2,100.....America has arrested anywhere from 37% of the suspects to 49%.
Regardless, which metrics we use there is clearly more work to be done.
It goes without saying that despite the thousands and thousands of hours of video images too few have been arrested. The police say that is because there were very very few actually arrested on the grounds that day. The police were simply too overwhelmed battling violent mobs to make arrests on the spot. Hence, a lot of perps simply walked away.
But not all is lost, because of those thousands of hours of images, the government...ala' FBI/DOJ have much to comb through. And, of course, the good patriotic work of online sleuths, like Sedition Hunters, allows identification, and arrests of those in the backlog.
So, as has been suggested before---if you recognize anyone on the Sedition Hunters site, well, be a loyal patriotic American citizen and do your duty. Help the authorities identify those people whe assaulted the Capitol and attacked our democracy with their violent attempt to stop the Constituitionally mandated accounting of each state's duly authorized Electoral Votes.

At least 1,003 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. This searchable table shows them all.
Thousands of pro-Trump supporters descended on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Two years later, more than 1,000 have been charged with crimes.
