Wow, there are some crazy, scary people on this topic. Knowing that the Villages has more guns per household than you'd find in South Chicago doesn't help me sleep any better.
That said, I'll throw my worthless 2 cents in after all the others I've read here.
This is what I think happened - The person we will not name and his/her minions planned the riots and assault on the Capitol, but they fully expected the DC police to repel the rioters, beating up a few in front of the cameras and if they were real lucky a few would get killed. This would have made for great optics - poor "protesters", trying to defend the Constitution, slaughtered by the only lefty cops in the US - DC cops.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the incompetence of the DC police (managers and planners, not the front liners) and the whole effort went south when the Capital was breached. That flipped the optics (which was always the only thing that mattered to he/she who will not be named).
