Then why is it ONLY California? They have oil. Newsom won't let them drill for it and he got rid of 18% of all of the refineries. Newsom won't even cut taxes to help people of California.
I watched footage of the entire event. The video was taken from the Capitol Bldg security cameras, the Capitol Police and from cellphones. If you know where to look you can see Ray Epps making his way through the edge of the crowd, stopping to talk to what I assume was an FBI operfative.
At some point the word was given and the Capitol Police just open fired on the crowd with flash grenades and rubber bullets. Then those FBI operatives began herding the panicking crowd into the Capitol Building.
In some instances the Capitol Police were seen actually assisting people in moving barricades. The Capitol Police even held the door open while people entered the building to get away from rubber bullets and flash grenades.
Once in the building the vast majority just stood there. They didn't damage anything. It was a very small minority that caused any kind of damage. There is lots of footage of people just wandering around like tourists.
