The fact that a few of the protestors have been photographed with bundles of plastic handcuffs would seem quite ominous to be honest.

some of them are saying that they "found them on the floor".
and i take issue with this categorization...they were not protesters.
they are insurrectionists...who attempted to overthrow the duly elected government of the united states.
IMO their leaders/organizers should either be exiled or executed if found guilty in a court of law.
edited to add.....why haven't we heard anything from roger stone this week?

Democrats Ready Impeachment Charge Against Trump for Inciting Capitol Mob - The New York TimesAt least one Republican, Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, followed Ms. Pelosi’s lead and told The Anchorage Daily News that she was considering leaving the Republican Party altogether because of Mr. Trump.
“I want him out,” she said. “He has caused enough damage.”
Just seen a brilliant vid on Twitter perfectly summing up these entitled assholes:

From 6:45... Pretty prescient, he called it:
Excellent
. . . as could all the inbred cretins who stormed the building. Just stay at home and send a quietly reasoned 10 second clip outlining why you feel the majority of voters should not be represented.
I can just imagine your position had he been black . . . uppitty, right?!
A lot of distancing going on here.
Republican AGs group sent robocalls urging march to the Capitol
“At 1 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal,” said the voice on the recording, which was obtained by NBC News.

I don’t know if it has been said, but I believe most of the charges against these insurrectionists are federal charges.

Well with the end of 2020 I'm no closer to understanding why anybody can't immediately ascertain that Trump is a Grade 'A' ****, and why BREXIT is an act of national idiocy.
For me Trump is the less worrying but most unfathomable of the two.
There's a profile here of the woman who was shot. 'Ashli Babbit was a devoted conspiracy theorist'. We've become inured to the existence of these raving nutters in the US. Then once in a while one has to stop and wonder 'How did they get there?'
How could anyone who has served in the US military think for one second that Trump was even on their side, let alone the answer to their problems?In interviews, members of Babbitt’s family have defended her political views, and her anger.
“My sister was a normal Californian,” her brother, Roger Witthoeft, told the New York Times. “The issues she was mad about were the things all of us are mad about.”
Babbitt had served in the military for 14 years, Witthoeft said. “If you feel like you gave the majority of your life to your country and you’re not being listened to, that is a hard pill to swallow. That’s why she was upset.”

Flags, signs and other items left behind in Capitol riot to be preserved as historical artifacts
Flags, signs and other items left throughout the Capitol by rioters who stormed the building Wednesday will be preserved as historical artifacts in the House and Senate collections and shared with national museums.
According to The Washington Post, a spokesperson for the Committee on House Administration, which oversees the House curator and Architect of the Capitol, artifacts, including pro-insurrection stickers and flags, as well as Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) damaged nameplate, are being collected for preservation as part of an archive on Wednesday’s events.
The spokesperson told the Post that seven pieces of historically significant art, including a marble statue of Thomas Jefferson and portraits of James Madison and John Quincy Adams, were covered in “corrosive gas agent residue,” and were being sent to the Smithsonian for assessment and restoration.
“On the West Front, the teams identified graffiti on the building near the Inaugural Stands and two broken Olmsted light fixtures,” said a spokeswoman for the Architect of the Capitol in an email. “Statues, murals, historic benches and original shutters all suffered varying degrees of damage – primarily from pepper spray accretions and residue from tear gas and fire extinguishers – that will require cleaning and conservation.”
Frank Blazich, a curator from the National Museum of American History, also collected signs and other items left at the scene of the chaos, including a sign that read, “Off with their heads: Stop the steal.”
The Hill has reached out to the Architect of the Capitol for comment.
Jane Campbell, president of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, a nonprofit chartered by Congress to inspire “informed patriotism,” told the Post that while she was angered by Wednesday’s events, she hopes the preservation of items from the day will force people to remember what took place.
“As a historian I want everything preserved,” Campbell said. “I think the people who did the attack on the Capitol are insurrectionist, immoral and bad news all the way around ... but if they left stuff behind, it should be preserved and studied later. We have to look at, ‘What did we learn?’ ”
The events Wednesday saw a group of pro-Trump rioters storm through the halls of the Capitol, breaking through windows and doors and ransacking offices throughout the historic building.
In addition to the items left and the artifacts damaged, laptops were reported missing from the offices of Pelosi, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and others. A Florida man photographed carrying the Speaker’s lectern was also arrested this week.
Five people died amid Wednesday’s chaos, including a woman who was shot by a Capitol Police officer and an officer who died after sustaining injuries while responding to the riot. Both fatalities are under investigation.

They just arrest the idiot that stole Pelosi's podium and and took a selfie .
but i was watching the Stephen Colbert late show and was joking as to how easy these idiots made it for the police to find them.
I could not stop laughing.
Watch after minute 7

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
As an American, I'm still at the point I don't know what to say.....
The president, such as he is, announced a rally at a location where the White House would be a backdrop to his speech on the same day as Congress was ratifying the election results.
He then told his supporters that they'd walk over to the Capitol Building and let Congress know what they think.
Everyone was then "surprised" by what happened next.
The police were well prepared for the BLM movement protest with an overwhelming show of force. Why didn't the police have a clue that inviting a few thousand people to a rally to oppose people upholding the Constitution might lead to the Capitol being stormed?
Personally, I think it was all planned.....
"I was a good student. I comprehend very well, OK, better than I think almost anybody," - President Trump comparing his legal knowledge to a Federal judge.
