    Only takes a few in the crowd to break through. Imagine if one or a few of them got as far as Ashli Babbit did. The outcome of the riots could have been very different.

      This is my point though. Very few people were armed and ready to kill or be killed. If just a few groups were armed they definitely would have succeeded. But they were cowards back then and are cowards now.

        True, but that’s no reason to be complacent. This could easily become a ‘lessons learned’ aspect for the Trump family too. They might do more to ensure that someone turns up armed and at the right spot, which will also be a lot easier for a judge’s house than the Capitol building.
