I've thought about this many times in the past 53 hours, and I think it's better for everyone it went the way it did rather than having police open fire and have a dozen, or a few dozen, dead idiots on the steps of the Capitol. This way they're reviled by almost anyone. Shot dead they'd be martyrs to some, and even some sane people would mourn their bloody deaths.

I can't believe there wasn't a blood bath, but I think it's best there wasn't.
