In reply to the discussion: Most ransacked office on 1/6. [View all]hurple
(1,307 posts)That circulated early on of a group of 4 or 5 men in full tactical gear (my memory says they also had guns but that might be a trick of memory based on the clothes) locked up and moving through the crowd to the doors.
My initial, first thought when it the "riot" started was, " they're going to steal the votes."
My first thought when I saw that photo, "This is an organized, planned op to steal the votes and occupy the building."
My next thought, "This will end in bloodshed."
I didn't quite bat 100 on that. But, I still believe the purpose of rallying the crowd and pushing them to "march" on the Capitol was to hide a trained mercenary force to steal the votes in the idiotic belief that no votes = no vote counting = no new president.
Thank goodness for those pages who secured the votes and hid them.
