Yea sorry if the post came off as dismissive, I fully accept the gravity of what happened that day, as well as the horrific acts that resulted in the loss of life of people trying to protect the Capitol. I just found those particular videos to really illuminate just how, well, disorganized and incoherent the collective effort was inside the building. People looking at random papers thinking they might be of use, one guy sitting in Pence’s seat while another person says to not disrespect the VP and get out of the seat (as they cause the VP to evacuate into hiding). They came across as just stupid and impotent once they got inside.
