4. I see it.

He looks like he means business.

2. Clearly this was the plan.

Remind me again of the charge for attempted kidnapping?

Twenty years.

3. This one looks different from most of the bozos.

Former military?

6. All black, minimal adornment, mask, dipping hat down when he sees a camera.

Yeah this is one of the smart ones, one for pros. Defiantly a real and trained terrorist.

17. Could be

Or perhaps blackwater (or whatever eric princes brownshirts call themselves now).

There seemed to be more than one dressed in black tactical gear.

I also heard, very early this AM, that foreign agents were probably there also. These assholes and the agents were the meat of the operation. The Cosplay wannabe tough guys were for distraction.

I also have the shivering feeling that the whole mission was aborted when ashly babbit was killed or when no senator or congressperson was available for capture.

I apologize if that sounds too much like a conspiracy theory.

20. Not CT at all

The pros could also have been taken aback by the general scene being made by the cosplay wannabes. Once you start them brooms dancing it ain't so easy to get them to stop -- a lesson Mickey Trump might also do well to consider.

21. Nope. Right there with you.

In the middle of all the bumblefucks putting on a show, there was some serious shit going down. There was a plan and there were professionals involved. Thank all gods great and small that it failed.

5. I think that was certainly a part of some folks plans

Why else would you need that type of zip tie?

8. Yup

And a truck or van filled with guns & ammo nearby!

Remember the MI plan? Kidnappings, followed by "trials" in remote wilderness areas.

9. Malcom Nance said this yesterday.

They planned to take hostages, hold trials, and conduct executions. A van with explosives and any rounds of amo was found on the street.

10. Comes in with a huge crowd, police get distracted. Gives him a chance to hit his targets.

Especially with a big crowd with flamboyant acting out people.
Gives him plenty of cover to kidnap or hold hostages.

Would take the police awhile to sort it all out.
Could have even made a get away with some members of congress.

"Don't inaugurate Biden or I start killing hostages."

Anything is possible with these people.

11. I believe some of those rioters were looking for Pence.

14. What were they going to do with Pence once they got him? nt

[LisaL]

15. I am sure whatever it was, Pence wouldn't like it.

16. Right, nothing good. :(

This is one reason Pence was furious yesterday.

[Irish_Dem]

22. And Pence still refuses to invoke 25A.

He is a real coward.

12. To kill people.

13. WHOA!

This needs to be shared more. My first time seeing this. That goes waaaaay beyond “protestor.” Totally different intent with that bad one.

19. RW radio endlessly dog whistles that democrats are less than human

You only need to step into their world for an hour or two to understand where their followers get their anger and ritual brainwashing.

'Diabolical' Democrat Party

To them, they'd be doing their masters a great service they'll get attention for.
