Right but at the same time let's call BS on the notion that this was a legitimate attempt at a coup. It was more accurately imagined as an iteration on the prior riots of 2020, with the police acting (or not acting) very similarly.

So much would be solved if we moved away from the instant-information sharing paradigm...both news media and social media. So much.
Oh Lordie, yes. Too much racket, too much clutter, too much muchness.
