Do you remember the shooter who shoot congressmen at a congressal ball game? The difference, he had a gun these people didn't


Someone brought pipe bombs that he made himself...


To the Capitol? Or are you spewing fake news?



Fake news, then. Pipe bombs and RNC/DNC headquarters, not the Capitol.

Typical motte and bailey. “They bombed the Capitol building” except they actually didn’t.


I mean, you are correct that they did not bomb the capitol building. BUT, to make a distinction between protesters in Washington and were arrested for entering the building unlawfully, and protesters from the same group who distributed bombs around seems...disingenuous. You can certainly make that distinction, but it doesn't seem like a useful one. A large group of protestors supporting Trump came to washington. Some broke into the capitol, others did other stuff. Many are under arrest for weapons violations and have been charged. That isn't "fake"


You really think these people weren't armed?

edit: to be clear, there were a number of people pictured and arrested carrying firearms.
