Some of the protest videos show peaceful conduct like this one. Others are extremely unpleasant to watch (NSFL).
I have no doubt that if some of the more radical elements in the crowd had actually gotten hold of someone, things would have gotten a lot more serious.
Fortunately that didn't happen, so thank goodness for that.

Except for - you know - the Capitol Police officer that got killed. Other than that, a perfectly peaceful protest.

A grand total of 5 deaths I believe. For what it was, that's probably just about the best possible outcome you can hope for. (Small consolation.)
If they had gotten hold of anyone (especially Pence), the violence might have spiraled completely out of control.
It was a really dangerous situation.

Nice that you chose to focus on that and not on the police officer that got killed or the video of another police officer that for almost crushed to death while being repeatedly punched in the face.
One would be forgiven for thinking you are a dishonest hack.
You keep pouring gasoline on a fire and then keep complaining that it won’t go out. You think impeaching him again and banning him on multiple platforms is going to de-escalate the situation? You know it will do the exact opposite. The Democrats and media companies want to poke and poke and poke until they provoke a reaction. You're delusional if you think you can keep insulting the 74 million Americans who voted for Trump without destabilizing the country. But your brains are so broken by Trump that you can't help yourselves and you're destroying the country because of it. I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020, but I understand the rage Trump supporters are probably feeling. And I know who is primarily responsible: it's the same contemptuous out of touch elites that gave us Trump in the first place.
