I think that’s kind of lost in all of this. It wasn’t purely just a mob of stupidity; some of these guys were devious and prepared. They failed, but it’s terrifying to think what could have happened.

There was a lot of video of people actively looking for Senators and Representatives, and only some of them were able to be isolated. Lethal force should definitely be on the table when people are trying to get to governmental figures. If a mob was able to get a couple senators hostage, then that's a pretty severe crisis.
