I have heard, too many times for my sanity, the case that the vicious mob of 1/6/21 were ‘unarmed’. Just stating this makes my gut wrench. Granted, these thugs are literate.

Ok. Clear? This mob clearly carried WEAPONS aka ARMS. Firearms, oxbows, brass knuckles, homemade napalm, bear spray, pepper spray, bats, lacrosse sticks, spears, pipe bombshell, ‘stinger whips’, Molotov cocktails, pocket knives, ‘blackjacks’…

Unarmed? The violence of this day can only be blamed on the raging and riotous ‘Call to Arms’ by a misfit. A desperate false prophet whose doormats lives were symbiosed to a madman. PLEASEREADTHIS🗽
