Capitol Hill attack https://abcnews.go.com/US/visual-timeline-attack-capitol-hill-unfolded/story?id=75112066
Mob of 100 people. Grew to 200. Some say 400. Failures include lack of communication between different security organizations, bureaucratic delays in calling in reinforcements, worry over the optics of deploying the National Guard, and an underestimation of the degree of coordination by extremist groups present.

~ Last attack on the Capitol: November 7, 1983 bombing. Goal was to kill GOP members. Susan Rosenberg was charged. She was pardoned by Bill Clinton. She moved on to become an administrator for BLM.

It was January 6, and the American Democratic process was being questioned. While attempts were being made to certify the lawful electoral vote in the presidential election, objections were being raised. "The electors were not lawfully certified, especially given the confirmed and illegal activities," said one Congressman. Another Congresswoman brought up faulty voting machines.
But this wasn't January 6 of this year. It was January 6, 2017 - shortly before Donald Trump took office. In total, during that January 6, seven different Democratic members of Congress voiced formal objections to the process, 11 separate times. In fact, Democrats objected to the results in more states in 2017 than Republicans did in 2021.
And then...how about the violence? Well there was massive violence right after the election in November 2016. But shortly after all those objections on January 6, there were hundreds of arrests during "protests" that turned violent on Inauguration Day. Some of the protestors carried Nazi flags and pictures of Hitler.

Every time I turn on cable news I’m told that America is split between those who think Kyle Rittenhouse is a patriot who bravely defended the country against lawlessness and those who think he’s some kind of white supremacist fascist (even though he didn’t shoot any black people). There’s room to believe that both sides have a few facts on their side of the equation. There’s also room—right next to me—to believe that he was an idiot who did something really stupid, but that doesn’t make him a cold-blooded murderer.
It is not necessary to elevate Rittenhouse to hero status, or to agree with his very poor decision to involve himself in the Kenosha riots, to accept that the prosecution failed to prove the charges against him. Rittenhouse is now a free man—not because of white supremacy, or because the criminal justice system failed. Activists, politicians, and media figures who purport to care about civil liberties should work toward empowering other defendants to avail themselves of due process, rather than complain that in this one case, the prosecutors did not get its way.
You can easily pull a few anecdotes to support any position you have from this to flat earth theory if you want. That kind of false equivalency or comparison is a textbook logic error. Bad thinking. And then to equate any of that to race in the Rittenhouse case - in which there is NO evidence that race was involved in the shootings - is again grossly illogical. It turns out that murder cases are about evidence. Facts. Not feelings about social issues. Facts. Not narrative. Facts.
