They thought they could," Get Away With it," like Trump. "NO CONSEQUENCES."

[Stuart G]

...Trump has gotten away with a whole lot. That in my opinion is the underlying reason why people went to Washington D.C. to do whatever they did. (legal or illegal)..Trump has gotten away with a whole lot in his life, and that is what many thought who went to Washington D.C. They thought, "I will get away with whateverI do, because I can get away with it too."
....Lots of pictures of who did what. Lots of people have been arrested and more will be arrested. Yes, there will be ..CONSEQUENCES,... but the people who were part of the riot, thought there would be NO CONSEQUNCES..NONE AT ALL!!!!.
....In Washington D.C. if you commit "treason" and "riot" then you will be up against the FBI, Secret Service, etc. Now, the FBI's reputation is at stake, and the best, brightest, and most experienced, of FBI detectives will be on this case and the rioters will ..."NOT GET AWAY WITH IT"
...It may take some time, but the FBI will catch them, arrest them, charge them, and convict them.
Why? Lots and lots of pictures of the rioters......
..... All the rioters, whoever they are, will be caught, charged, tried, and convicted. .And the convictions will stick because."lots and lots of pictures of the rioters."

.....Those pictures are...PROOF OF WHAT WAS DONE....TOTAL PROOF!!!....

... Give the FBI time, & the rioters will be caught......Pictures, Pictures an More Pictures.. Proof who did what and when...Solid Proof...Give the FBI some time, & we all will see the results of the FBI's work....Consequences for law breakers...The FBI is not new at catching people who commit crimes.
...Let's wait a while, and we all will see the consequences of what the FBI does to catch the criminals.

.........The FBI will catch them because of pictures, pictures and more pictures........

Your analysis is on target

4. Yes I believe they were convinced the cops would join them.

They seemed shocked when the shot was fired. Kinda like "what did we do to deserve that"?

[David__77]

6. I've seen this type of shock elsewhere.

Like, even when police have stopped them from assaulting people, they were like "what the fuck? You're supposed to be on OUR side!" Related to this, many of these have or will become super anti-police when they realize that the cops won't generally facilitate their wishes.

5. No Doubt About It

They thought what they were doing would yield the results they wanted.
If they succeeded, they would get away with.
These dopes never even considered what would happen if they failed!
Hubris & stupidity is a poor combination.

7. The delusion was strong

These people had a RW echo chamber that made them think there wouldn't be consequences because Trump ordered the attack so they figured the president's orders are lawful. i think there was also an idea floating around that Trump would pardon them all. The worst among them probably though law enforcement would celebrate them as heroes.

[Stuart G]

8. RW echo chamber is "...stupid, stupid and more stupid...".

9. Delusional white privilege.

I didn't realize it had gotten quite this bad.

[Baked Potato]

10. These terrorists provided a huge cache of evidence to investigate.

It’s like the census. There is data there for all kinds of use.

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. I bet most of these people had no idea just jow much

trouble they would be in. It was just a lark.

[Stuart G]

12. I agree with you completely. No idea at all..

[malaise]

13. Way more than pictures

ping ping!

[Stuart G]

14. Yes, indeed..a whole lot of proof to convict the idiots...not just pictures, sound, video,

observations by police and others, many articles with other kinds of proof....This show about trials and
convictions will go on for a very long time...I will need lots of ...............................


& a drink or two.............................................................................................
