For it be a coup, there would need to be an attempt to violently seize power.
Do you have words Liberty, do you know how to use them? You just seem to post links. Why was it a coup? Was the guy sitting with his feet up on Pelosi's desk trying to seize power, I don't think so. Was there a concerted effort to actually take over? Did anyone even have a gun? I just saw the one trumper got executed.
If you are going to make some crazy accusation at least have something to back it up.
LOL anyone who thinks this was a coup attempt is a complete moron. 99.9% of people who went down to the Capitol were there for a Trump Rally.
Do you guys always bring your guns and pipe bombs to Donny Stump's rallies?
At least ten people were arrested during the evening and into Wednesday morning,
several on weapons charges.[14]
Capitol Police respond to a report of a possible explosive device at the Republican National Committee Headquarters, which is later identified as a
pipe bomb. Shortly afterwards, a
second pipe bomb is found at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee.[19][18] Buildings next to these headquarters are evacuated.[20]
A police sweep of the area identifies a vehicle which held
one handgun, an M4 Carbine assault rifle with loaded magazine, and
components for 11 Molotov cocktails with homemade napalm. Around 6:30 p.m, the driver was apprehended carrying
two unregistered handguns as he returned to the vehicle. He is not suspected of planting the pipe bombs.[20][21]
As soon as they hit the fence line, the fight was on. Violent confrontations from the start. They came with
riot helmets, gas masks, shields, pepper spray, fireworks, climbing gear — climbing gear! —
explosives, metal pipes, baseball bats. I have never seen anything like it in 30 years of events in Washington.
— Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund[18]
The FBI sends out a bulletin advising law enforcement agencies to be cautious when arresting suspects involved in the storming, especially of those who were
spotted wearing body armor or "other armament" during the incident.[44]
Half the people arrested were charged with "violent entry"
Cleveland Grover Meredith was charged with threatening Pelosi after driving to D.C. from Colorado. He missed the riot after experiencing troubles with his truck and trailer, according to an FBI arrest complaint. Meredith arrived Thursday and was later arrested at a Holiday Inn.
Officers found a Glock 19, a 9mm pistol, a Tavor X95 rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his truck and trailer.
In the complaint, the FBI said Meredith had texted a relative saying he was “thinking about heading over to Pelosi's (expletive) speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV,” with a purple devil emoji.
In a later text conversation about Pelosi, the complaint said, Meredith wrote, “Dead Bitch Walking. I predict that within 12 days, many in our country will die.”
But he added, "LOL, jus havin fun."
As Christopher Michael Alberts of Maryland was being escorted away from the Capitol on Wednesday, a Metro Police officer noticed a bulge on Alberts' hip, a complaint stated. A closer inspection revealed two separate holsters, one with a 9 mm weapon with a single round in the chamber and a fully loaded 12-round magazine and the other with a second fully loaded 12-round magazine. Alberts also was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a backpack with a gas mask, pocketknife and an MRE.
Capitol Police found Moore parked in his white Ford Econoline 150 van near the Capitol, and Moore admitted to having a gun in his backpack on the front passenger seat.
Officers found a Ruger pistol in a holster, according to D.C. Superior Court records. The gun was loaded with six rounds, and officers recovered three more six-round magazines along with 12 loose rounds.
When authorities found Coffman's truck near the Capitol, they reported finding 11 Molotov cocktails -- Mason jars filled with flammable liquids -- in addition to guns and ammunition.
Leffingwell is accused of entering the Senate side of the Capitol. When police stopped him, the complaint says, he struck an officer in the helmet and chest.
Not to mention the photos of two more space cadets with a fistful of zip tie handcuffs. What were they going to do, link hands with the rest of the "patriots" and sing the national anthem until Congress bought into their nutjob conspiracy theory?
Now, do I think this was some well organized plan for Donny Stump to seize government? No, he's too dumb and lazy to actually do something like that effectively. But he loves causing drama and riling up the idiots who love him, and that is exactly what he did. Then those idiots went and did idiotic things like storming a congressional building as elected officials were affirming a new President, with the idea that they were somehow going to do, what? Talk some sense into Congress? Like I said, idiots.
