hap0206, A violent protest aimed clearly at stopping Pence (vice president then) from completing his constitutional duty of certifying the electoral college votes for the presidency is an insurrection.
"I think we will have an "insurrection" when every one attacking has a deadly weapon otherwise just a protest"
A protest aimed at overturning the valid result of a fair and open American presidential election which was so violent that Lindsay Graham called on the DC police to use their guns was an insurrection.
That's YOUR criterion, certainly not the view of the cops who had to fend off improvised weaponry that inflicted many injuries.
And then there is intent. WTF were they doing erecting a gallows and chanting 'hang Mike Pence'?
The Russian Army in WWII and the Chicom army in Korea didn't always have sufficient small arms for everyone of their soldiers engaging in a human wave attack.
Did the defenders care that some of the attackers were instructed to pick a weapon off a fallen comrade?
