Update 3: The guns of January 6
UPDATE 4: tRUMP knew people were coming armed on Jan 6
This know-nothing coke-head POS wants to also be your president some day...soon. Diaper Don Junior... a clone of his stochastic terrorist father, Daddy Diaper Don.
List of weapons:
(Note that many oathkeepers, Proudboys and others went directly to the Capitol as there was a prior plan and they were armed... and would have had their weapons and backpacks confiscated if they attended the rally)
Secret Service seized following from rally attendees who went thru metal detectors: 242 canisters of pepper spray, 269 knives/blades, 18 brass knuckles, 18 tasers, 6 pieces of body armor, 3 gas masks, 30 batons or blunt instruments & scissors, needles or screwdrivers: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/12/19/jan6-trump-responsibility/
Brought with them: Guns ( many admitted they had weapons stashed in backpacks, pockets, nearby hotels, QRF locations), Ballpeen hammer, regular hammer, Sledgehammer, Pitchfork, metal whip, bear spray, mace, pocket knives, ankle knives, boot knife, throwing axe, crossbow with bolts, machetes, camouflage smoke devices, metal spear, crow bar, a metal hooked weapon that can also be used as a cane, hockey stick, baseball bat, a homemade Billy-club type bat, Tasers, stun-gun, stun-gun walking stick, cattle prod, grappling hook, sharpened flagpoles, scissors, plastic knuckles, lacrosse stick, a tree branch, steel-toed boots, a thrown scooter, eye damaging laser device, strobe light, Poles with nails in them, broom stick, Laser pointer, hard-knuckle tactical gloves, spiked gloves, Raid insecticide and WD-40 sprayed at police and even long pieces of 4x4 lumber leftover from building the Pence gallows, and of course the planted pipe bombs from the night before, the QRF stashes, and those who stashed their guns into backpacks on their back and also left outside the Capitol building before they went in. From the information sheets filed with each arrested defendant
Weapons used from site: They used a giant Trump sign. Yhey polled apart the barricades. They also used PVC pipes from scaffolding, a heavy long pole that was so heavy it took 2 people to toss it, broken furniture from inside, even a tabletop and chairs, confiscated items from police like batons, spray, Taser, even shields used as battering rams, barricades, planks, metal pieces, 2x4 beams and rods from scaffolding, a full beer, empty canisters from pepper spray, bear spray and fire extinguishers, rocks, stones, bottles, PVC pipe, 2 huge speakers, plywood, wooden handrail, Racks … A helmet was used to break the window that Ashli Babbit climbed through. Large metal trashcan
Brand new video released Jan 5, 2024, via reporter Ryan J. Reilly. (It is likely just before Ashli Babbot decided to play idiot and dive through the broken glass into gunfire. That is likely also she screaming at officers, and calling them pedospjiles and more... given she screams a lot in her awful Qult videos)
The 8-minute video, shot by Capitol rioter Damon Beckley and introduced as evidence ahead of his sentencing, was released to the media coalition late Friday in response to a request from NBC News. Federal prosecutors are seeking more than three years in federal prison for Beckley, and his sentencing has now been rescheduled for Feb. 9. Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, and Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., can be seen speaking with rioters through the broken glass.
“Trump Supporters Sing National Anthem while Breaking into Capitol.” These are the same slugs who did not like Kaepernick kneeling during the anthem….
Michael Foy beats a police officer with a hockey stick. ‘People in the background cheer and chant "USA!’
The assault on the Lower West Terrace was one of the most violent confrontations between Capitol Police and the crowd. Officers held the line until the building was cleared without letting rioters inside. Some officers have since said they did not know the Capitol had already been breached in other areas.
Three Hours Of U.S. Capitol Surveillance Video at the Tunnel from Jan. 6, 2021 The Justice Department released a three-hour video of a battle between rioters and the police at the US Capitol Building on January 6 where rioters brandished weapons, officers were viciously beaten, and a member of the mob died on Capitol steps. Youtube allows all kinds of violence and yet this one is age resyticted and cannot be imbedded... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a3RGlu5yLs
Officer was off balance and ended up being dragged downstairs, kicked and hit with flag poles… One used an American flag. The fake patriots shout USA, USA, USA… as this occurs. Sabol grabbed a police officer, pulled him into the crowd where he is beaten with an American flag… says he was a good boy and wants release… ‘Sabol enters at around :05, can be seen going for the baton, falling back, and then helps pull another officer down the steps. He argues his specific conduct wasn't as bad as others and not enough for detention.’
Fake "Patriot" insurrectionustsbeat an officer with an Amrican flag.
The view from outside the tunnel violence.
There are thousands and thousands of hours of footage from the day. Anyone wishing to see it all would spend years looking through it. (Which is why Mike Johnson and Tucker carlson released so little)
UPDATE 4: tRUMP knew people were coming armed on Jan 6
Reminder of what tRUMP said before the January 6 rally...

UPDATE 3: The guns of January 6:
I was remiss in reminding that there were people in trees with ar15s that morning. There were men with binoculars checking out the Capitol, and perhaps waiting for a signal from their cohorts, that distressed onlookers enough to call it in even before the insurrection was occuring. And of course there were the QRFs where unknown amounts of people and guns were at the ready. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/07/08/jan6-defendants-guns/
Tucker Carlson: “Not a single person in the crowd on January 6 was found to be carrying a firearm. Not one.” Cucker Fartson is a POS liar.
Banuelos: Fired 2 shots in the air.
Reffit: sentence enhanced for carrying a gun during the commission of a crime
These are only the people who were caught with guns that day. There are likely many more
"We’ll never know how many people brought weapons with them to President Trump’s speech, and onward to the Capitol. Perhaps cognizant of the penalty for carrying a gun without a license in the District — up to five years in prison — only a few felt comfortable enough to display them. One rioter flashed his handgun at a group of journalists, a moment captured by a Vice reporter." https://www.thetrace.org/2021/01/capitol-riot-firearms-arrests-proud-boys/
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, 36, of Florida, was arrested at a Washington, D.C., hotel on January 4, 2021, for burning a Black Lives Matter flag he stole from a Black church last month.

UPDATE 2: Video of violence and weapons used
Sound down to start!
tRUMP told them to fight like hell to "save" the country... and his minions obeyed their "commander in Chief."
Jan 6 insurrectionist and AWOL National Guardsman, honigford, told police officers he wanted to bless them; then attacked instead ...
A metal cane struck officer Jeffrey Smith who died by suicide days later. His death was determined to have been a direct result of the many attacks and susequent injuries he endured that day. Taranto is also the one who was arrested near Obama's home and made National security threats...
A man in a crowd throws a hammer into into an open tunnel, looking gleeful knowing he will likely never be caught. It is who they are. Caring only about their selfish MAGA ignorance and not taking responsibility for their actions. I surely hope they find this guy…
Jan 6 officer pulled into crowd and beaten with American flags
Army vet and Three Percenter Lucas Denny tried to strike an officer with this heavy metal pole...
Dillon Colby Herrington threw lumber and a barricade at police Jan 6 and had knife in back pocket. VIDEO shows he barely missed a police officer.
Officers held back the crowd that continually surged into this tunnel for hours.
FOX talking heads are astounded, confounded and dumbfounded by reality after watching the Jan 6 Commiittee footage obviously for the first time...
Although I have cried watching some of these, even though I am Canadian, this one makes me sob every time.
Officer Fanone body cam footage & play by play of his assault,
He was not only brutally grabbed and dragged down steps, he was attacked with American flags, they tried to take his gun, he was tased several times and suffered a heart attack…
‘As one man shouts, “I got one,” and the crowd exhorts his capture, another Trump supporter waves a “thin blue line” flag over Fanone’s unconscious form.’ The violence is in direct contrast to the lies that the riot was not an insurrection and was not violent and like a tour of the Capitol…

Michael Brock, wielded a 4 foot rod while confronting police
They were just competing in the "Hammer throw."
Competing in the "pole toss." (Note the speaker covered in plastic an ready for the inauguration? They were also used to toss at officers. Officer Gonell was struck on his foot and along with other injuries assured he will never be an officer again.)
Jan 6 weapons ... a ladder
This POS "patriot" sharpened flagpole tips and then sold thousands of them on the DC streets.
"Patriots" my ass!
They carried more defaced, weaponized and traitor flags than actial American flags.
Insurrectionists climbed the scaffolding, removed the US flag from the Capitol, then used it to beat officers...
Jan 6 weapons guns at hotel QRF
QRF=Quick Reaction Force... but there were "no weapons" and it was spontaneous .../S How many other hotels had rooms full of guns? DOJ only knew about this because a MAGA cooperated to save their own ass.
This was a typical message to MAGA on social media.
