How many Proud Boys were convicted of actual violent crimes, and...


...what were those crimes? What weapons did they bring with them to carry out the overthrow of the US government?

That aside, the FACT remains that only a few dozen protestors got violent -- some provoked by police -- so the idea that there was some sort of massive, violent coup attempt or plan, whether intended or not, is simply not supported by what transpired. There is always the potential for violence at any protest. Saying that violence may have been expected is like saying the sun rising in the east was expected. The fact is that Pelosi and Bowser didn't adequately prepare. The question is why not?

Two women were killed: Boyland and Babbitt. Whether they were justified is debatable.

The only comment I'll make regarding your last two paragraphs is simply to restate that Trump had no responsibility to "stop" the riot even assuming he could. He called for peaceful protest before and during the protest in his speech, his tweets and his video. It's simply false to assert that he could have done more. He couldn't -- it was Pelosi's and Bowser's job, and they failed. End of story.
