Anything worthy of the name INSURRECTION should exhibit a possible chance of actually being successful or why even bother. Now we all know that even if that group all had guns there was no chance they were going to walk out of there victorious. Without being armed it was merely an exercise in futility. Hell, they could have zapped every congress member and in a few days we'd have a ton of AOC wannabees lined up to lead the nation. Admittedly, it was a dumb move politically as it played right into the hands of the democrats. Below you see the definition of the word insurrection. Do you see " open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government"? BLM and Antifa staged open revolts against the police (local and federal) for a year. Are the police not civil authority? Are BLM and Antifa then not guilty of insurrection? Was the Boston Tea Party an insurrection? Based on the US Code it appears that anybody who rebels against a US law is guilty. What is the difference between a violent protest, rebelling and an insurrection? What was it when Weather Underground and other groups blew up federal buildings? If we are going to embrace loose definitions for one group, why not others? In my eyes anything short of an armed insurrection should have a different name. Democrat justice has the blindfold pulled away on one eye.
