RealClearPolitics links to a Dov Fischer article for The American Spectator. Fischer asserts that the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol was no insurrection, and I agree.
No hostages were taken, no lists of demands were presented, no firearms were carried, no explosives detonated, no fires started. Apparently the only person seriously injured was an unarmed woman who was fatally shot by the Capitol police while climbing through a window.
What happened was a demonstration by people unhappy with the conduct of November's election, or if you insist, with the outcome of it. Whatever damage was done resembled in scale the torn-down goal posts following a hard-fought football game.
Were they out of line? Of course. Did they break the law? Almost certainly. Was it an insurrection? Not even close. Did it cause a bunch of cowardly Hill-dwellers to soil themselves? Apparently, so now they're embarrassed and seeking payback.
Later ... Why have four Capital police committed suicide since Jan. 6? Did they know something about the Clintons? Was there video of them assisting the rioters?
