(FULL INSURRECTION VIDEO) I post this to counteract the lies being spread by Trump supporters about what happened during the coup attempt on Wednesday. Be advised that this video gets scary and violent.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED.

PS/ Note the many references in the video to "burning this down" and "revolution"; the willful, wanton destruction of property; the repeated assaults on law enforcement; the many insurrectionists in tactical gear; the legitimate fear on the faces of officers vastly outnumbered...

PS2/ ...the law enforcement officers told, sometimes civilly and sometimes not—sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly—that they will be physically harmed by the mob if they don't stand down; the angry refusal of every lawful order given by law enforcement inside the building...

PS3/ ...the consciousness of guilt of the criminals that what they're doing is a historic assault, frequently articulated in words and on their faces; the sea of Gadsden flags, Trump flags, even Confederate flags, all waved to rally more rioters to climb through broken windows...

PS4/ ...the chanting of a phrase Trump deeded them ("Stop the Steal!") as they commit crimes; the accusations police are "traitors"; the use of military terms by the invaders; the acknowledge that they're in the midst of a "riot"; a constant exhortation to "push" past officers...

PS5/ ...the constant admonishment of law enforcement officers that they're about to be overtaken by a superior force; chants of "We want Trump!" (a seditionist chant in this context); the room-to-room invasion, progressing methodically with a plan for where rioters need to get...

PS6/ The constant sound of breaking glass and percussion grenades, and the constant smell of tear gas and other chemical irritants, and the constant—but ignored—orders from law enforcement, that made unambiguous to every criminal trespasser that they were violating federal law...

PS7/ ...the solitary voices pleading for non-violence getting shouted down with more vulgarities and jeering and more threats against police ("No violence!" a man shouts; "It's too late for that," another responds); the notice to the rioters—ignored—that the military is coming...

PS8/ ...the fact that this video—as horrifying as it is—is what's called by the rioters a "second wave" video, meaning that it *doesn't* capture the first criminals to breach to Capitol (who smashed windows/doors, assaulted police, and were gassed and shot with rubber bullets)...

PS9/ ...and the horrifying moments at the House chamber doors, with insurrectionists looking for a crowbar or heavy object to break the glass, officers getting assaulted and afraid for their lives, Members of Congress under real threat, and Ashli Babbitt getting shot and killed.

PS10/ This is what a seditious riot led by insurrectionists looks like. This is what a coup looks like. So if you have the stomach for it, you should deem it a duty to watch this video so *no one* can lie to you about Trump's Rebellion because you can say, "I saw it myself." /end

NOTE/ I know many won't make it to the end of the video—and that's wholly understandable. The video shocks any viewer to their core. But be aware that the worst of it—starting with the "BREAK IT DOWN!" chants and the deadly violence that follows—doesn't begin until 31 minutes in.

NOTE2/ I also want to note—beyond saying again that this is "only" a "second wave" video—that we're not getting the perspective of the terrified victims in the building: the staffers and officials who hid beneath desks as rioters rocked the doors of the House and Senate chambers.

NOTE3/ If you have a decent stomach but do not want to watch someone die because you fear it will haunt you—as it may—stop the video the moment you hear a gunshot.
