    There were gun carrying protestors, one of whom was arrested on the capitol grounds and another who had a vehicle full of guns and 400+ rounds of ammo near the capitol building.

    Not to mention the pipe bombs.

    Honestly I am surprised that there weren't more deaths.  I didn't see anything reported about gun carrying protestors.  Imagine if that shit had gotten out of hand.
    Some of the people inside the building who were tweeting definitely saw armed insurrectionists. There are some pics available too.

    I don't call them protestors; that wasn't a protest. 

    I haven't noticed anyone that stormed the capital with a firearm.  I'll have to look at more photos.
    I can't find the article that had them now but did find this entry in the list of live updates from the San Francisco Chronicle (from Wednesday):

    4:05 p.m. D.C. police arrest 13 after violent mob storms capitol: Washington D.C. police have so far arrested 13 rioters who stormed the Capitol Wednesday, according to a reporter for the news website Newsy. Three people were from Arlington, Va. but all others arrested were from outside the D.C. area. According to the D.C. police chief, firearms were recovered from some of those arrested.

    I'm sure most if not all own guns I just didn't see anyone parading around inside the capitol w them.  I'm glad we didn't see that actually.

    This was going on in Parler until it got shut down.  Who knows how they are communicating now?

    Yea but who is “they”?  There must be some sort of chain of command.

    Phone your local white supremacist fan club and ask to chat with the leader, lol.

    I know what you mean but I haven't paid enough attention to see who the ringleaders are.

    Chat section of shit hole websites that promote conspiracies. Probably on some sub-reddit pages as well. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Good question.  It doesn't seem particularly centralized to me.  But I am sure there are a few ring leaders.  Let's just hope they are not in high levels of law enforcement.  My suspicion is that some are.

    That, and the puppet master controlling a bunch of Qanon and Proud Boys (racist groups, right?)is a black dude??? If true, that is truly fucking hilarious...except that the whole thing is more truly sickening, so I cannot laugh at it as hard as I try.

    I think most of these events are organized in garages, like across the road from my house. Could be any night of the week, but usually not a weekend. A bunch of MAGATS gather afterhours to drink, howl, swear, yell and sing karaoke to horrible country music before they drive home drunk with the plan to take back their country summarized on the cardboard scraps from the case of Schlitz they slammed. Stupid and dangerous all-in-one.
