It was an insurrection. The insurrectionists said so.

Because she's Speaker of the House ?

Emotional kneejerk. These people have been in the Ivory Tower so long they forgot what the street looks like
So? Speaker of the House isn't responsible for the weather either. Security is the responsibility of the Capitol Police Board. They failed miserably on Insurrection Day which is why she called for the Police Chief to resign and why she made sure the House Sergeant of Arms also resigned.
 
They were there to stop the electoral count and in that they succeeded. That was one PART of the coup.
They merely delayed it for a bit. Now, since the riot was the ONLY thing that happened, what was the rest they were planning to do, and who is being charged with it?
 
I did get this..

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is overseen by the Capitol Police Board and has Congressional oversight by appropriations and authorizing committees from the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. This oversight affords the Department the support and opportunity to continually ensure that the USCP meets the safety and security needs of the Congress, the staff, and the many visitors who come to the United States Capitol each day.

Day to day operations are run by the CPB and the Sergeants at Arms and Chief.
 
Because elected representatives are supposed to confront and talk with dissatisfied voters, not run and hide from them, to avoid giving the grievances any air time.
LOL

So Mike Pence should have approached Trump's violent mob of domestic terrorists, stuck his neck out to those calling to hang him, and just let them do to him whatever they wanted?
 
. yes, but the people you're gloating about included a lot of 80 year old grandmothers.

Now your gloating about shooting a 30 year old woman.

What a big tough man you are!
It wasn’t 80 year olds smashing through doors and windows while crushing and beating police officers, dope. Your desperate attempts at spin are just embarrassing. :9-21:

They STOPPED it. That was their intent.

The only reason it was "delayed a bit" and only a bit, is because Pence and McConnell and Pelosi refused to be part of the coup and called the Congress back into session
 
If it was an "insurrection", then where were all the weapons?
Only the police had weapons.
So are you claiming the police enacted an insurrection?
Because that I could agree with.
Preventing the protestors from having an audience with Congress is an illegal act in a democratic republic.
This was their weapon...

Has ANY of them said they intended to topple the existing government and form a new one? Did they have a new Secretary of Defense picked out? Plans to dissolve Congress and elect brand new congresscritters?
They were there just to beat cops and shit on the floor?

So what was the next step in this grand plan?

None of that is required for insurrection.
 
Can anyone ? If so who ?

This link has four people killed


Gosh darn journalists

I thought it was odd that the media knew the backgrounds of every person at that rally... that day.. pretty slick.
So? Four people did die there that day.

Why was the FBI there and what are their names
 
There are fringe groups on all sides of the spectrum that claim they are going to force a revolution, doesn’t mean they are. And one small segment speaks for the entire group?

There were a ton of police just walking side by side with the rioters (I will call them that), asking nicely not to do that. Pelosi told them specifically to stand down, so that they could waste time on a faux investigation and pass devastating laws in the name of justice.
Post a link to your evidence Pelosi told them to stand down......

So a few could actually defend themselves? How brave your heroes are.
