Crimes that haven't even scratched the surface of investigation.

If you or I committed 1/1000th of Doturds crimes, we would die in prison.

yes by definition it is a violent overthrow of the government.

I think in this case it's better to use the definition, than the word. I bet if you asked people on the street what "insurrection" means, you'd get a lot of different answers.

it's a violent overthrow of the government

people know what that means.

on an online DC TV station (channel 4, maybe? ).

It was a self-serving, whiny, mewling charade of bullshit. They parroted the line that it was peaceful. They claimed that innocent sweeties saw the broken windows and just wandered in to mill around. When violence was admitted, they said it was outside agitators.

"Somebody" needs to view the numerous videos of that day, taken by network news sources and their own cell phones. Honest people clearly see the raging mob and know that it was NOT Antifa, BLM, leftists, plants, or anarchists doing the damage. It was their own damn selves.

to a rock concert, instead of the violent uprising against democracy that it was designed to be, with forethought and purpose.
