No, this is a fair point. There were many within the ranks who aided and abetted and there has to be a reckoning with that. Still though, many of the insurrectionists fought through police lines and it was quite apparent that they (the insurrectionists) were a hostile force.

Imagine thinking the Dedicated security for congress completely abrogating that responsibility and putting them in danger is an argument against "this was a coup attempt".

It's probably the single biggest thing that sets this apart from a riot or a tantrum or whatever else people want to call it.
