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.
