Here Is The Most Complete First Person Account Of The Capitol Insurrection We've Seen

[LiberalArkie]

In the words of Ryan Lizza, "You might not fully understand what happened Wednesday until you watch this video." This 39 minute video documents the storming of the Capitol building leading up to the shooting of Ashli Babbitt. Viewer discretion is advised.

1. I saw this last night and couldn't find it today. It is tough to watch but

it speaks volumes.

2. Yes - the inside focus

shows a much more dangerous situation than other videos. A good lesson in how fragile civilization is and how fragile the human psyche is too.

3. It is surprising more people weren't trampled and crushed.

I've heard 56 police injuries, but have only heard a few scattered reports of injured members of the mob. I'm surprised a hell of a lot more people didn't end up in the hospital -- unless they did go to an emergency room and just weren't ID'd as part of the mob.

Might be interested to find out if there was a big uptick in injured walk-ins.

9. I hope everyone involved goes to prison

WTF are wrong with these people???

[Bev54]

5. That same Fat Fuck cop that directed them outside to come in

was inside directing them again, patting them on the back. Please everyone send to your dem reps to make sure they have copies of this.

6. Sending to FBI. n/t

8. Interesting comment to an NYTimes article

Writer speculated: if the Capitol police had done their job and prevented anybody from entering, the mob ranted for a while then dispersed, the whole narrative would be different. The gambit of Harley, Cruz and others wouldn’t be as roundly renounced. No trashing, no arrests, less outrage toward Drumpf, etc. Probably no impeachment talk. Interesting thought experiment

11. If they had put up the large barricades, they would have been stopped. But most of the congress

critters pride themselves on having an open "peoples house". That will need to change.

[frazzled]

13. The problem is, there were barely any Capitol Police

to do the job. They had no protective gear, nothing. They looked like freaking security guards.

At the first barrier, there were, like, six or seven bicycle police (you can see when the crowd breached the entrance, one of the insurgents took one of their bikes and held it aloft).

At the next barrier point in the hallway, there were 8 or 10 maybe, and they held them back until they broke rank to try to stop one guy who was slipping through while another was arguing with one of the cops, and then the massive crowd poured through.

Etc. etc. until the gun at the end. Watching this made me even more convinced that the lack of security was intentional. These people should never have gotten anywhere near the Capitol entrance. There should have been hundreds of Metro Police and National Guardsmen protecting the perimeter. There were none, and their absence is the big question mark of this whole thing. The crowd was able to just walk right up, and this hapless crew of a few Capitol Police was completely unable to do anything.

14. I agree about being unprepared

I think the comment posed a what if scenario. If the mob hadn’t broken in, there wouldn’t be the same level of outrage and revulsion. The way it did play out shone a spotlight on the lies and hypocrisy. A wake up call.

19. Why weren't Capital Police Shooting Insurgents

with automatic weapons as soon as they came up the outside stairs?

[Hamlette]

12. now I know why the founding fathers were so afraid of mobs. nt

[mtngirl47]

15. My thoughts

The one word that kept coming into my brain about the traitors: clusterfuck and thank goodness for that

This group was aimlessly moving forward---but I did see people in camo moving with purpose several times.

I was amused at all the people "filming" with their phones....and I saw many helmet cams. Wow---I guess it really doesn't happen unless you take a picture.

People wrapped in flags: Oh--Sinclair Lewis you were right.

[LiberalArkie]

16. And spreading their cellphones ESN and location. It made easy pickings for the FBI

to find everyone in the capital.

[LiberalArkie]

17. And you can't forget the gentleman who needed a Russian interpreter during arrangement

[magicguido]

18. Donald trump must pay the most Serious Legal Price for Treason and Insurrection

20. This video is chilling. "This building is burning down tonight." A commenter from his YouTube chat

Apparently clued him in. This guy is a real piece of work, no liberal he.

If he hasn’t taken his channel down yet, it’s because he’s a little busy and might not type well in handcuffs.

[KayF]

21. starting to understand why the cops may have let them in

that part at the beginning, it looks like there wasn't much they could do.

[KayF]

22. the reaction to the Rotunda

main guy "wow what is this?"
other guy "i don't even know but we're in this motherfucker".
