I hear two very disparate stories about January 6.

1.  Some folks wondered through the building taking selfies, and

2.  An angry mob attacked the Capitol with the intent of overturning the electoral process.

I think some of the folks were in Part 1, but quite a few were in Part 2. 

A lot of #2s turned into #1s once they didn't find any lawmakers anywhere and they were barred from exploring any further.
Think they'd have switched over if they found Pence walking in the hallway?  

Pence should be physically assaulted?  To what end?

1. some folks wondered through the building taking selfies
2. an angry mob attacked the Capitol because they were angry with little idea what they were doing
3. a very few people in groups like the proud boys and a few others hoped they'd be able to overturn the electoral process without guns or other means of force and no other plan.  They were there mostly hoping they'd be noticed by Trump as supporters.

it was a complete farce

the entire event had ZERO chance of overturning the electoral process even though the capitol police put up very little resistance.

Police are not allowed to use firearms (legally) except to protect themselves or others from serious bodily harm.  This is why they don't fire into crowds who are clearly rioting and destroying property.  The Capitol Police were attempting to use barricades and some nonlethal methods (tear gas, pepper spray) to deter the crowds.  This seems to have further enraged and already angry crowd.  

There was the one incident of course where a CP fired his weapon (which remains controversial in terms of its use).  I continue to be struck by the two such very different views of this event.  I see both on social media fairly often if the topic comes up (along with the usual "what about this!!!" bringing in how government responded to some entirely different situation).
