Of all the pictures and videos from inside the Capitol, has anyone seen any trespassers/protestors/rioters/insurrectionists carrying weapons? I caught some of it live and have been looking since and haven't seen any. Pictures or video would be appreciated.

A few were but it was a tiny proportion. Think 5 people out of 100,000 that went type of situation.

There's a very well documented Google sheet floating around with most of the videos and pictures of the event. I won't link because it contains very graphic videos of the death of one of the participant.

There were two incidents I've read of, neither inside the capital or even on capital grounds. One was a guy who had two 9mm handguns. No mention of what led to the arrest, but it seems to be a stop and frisk type of encounter. The other is the guy who allegedly had a wagon of molotov's, and was also carrying some type of firearm. Neither seem to be incidents of the people being in the act of using the weapons. Although if the guy had actual molotovs, yeah that's not good.

Yes. Early live video showed people who looked like tourists. Things escalated dramatically. Zip cuff guy appears to have a gun on his hip in addition to the body armor & zip ties for taking hostages. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/zip-cuffs-capitol-riots/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/zip-cuffs-capitol-riots/ We’re now learning of pipe bombs. https://www.businessinsider.com/pipe-bomb-reportedly-found-at-rnc-headquarters-dnc-evacuated-2021-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/pipe-bomb-reportedly-found-a... The killed police officer was attacked with a fire extinguisher, so things other than guns can be used as weapons. Many photos show body armor, riot shields, and staffs. Photos show Members of Congress escorted to safety in CBRN hoods (protection against chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear air pollution). The C-SPAN live feed was cut off for the safety of Congress & the staff at the Capitol. You can watch the moment on YouTube, plus the subsequent audio only broadcast. What do you think? Is that helpful?

  So there's no clear photos of any people inside the capitol building raid with guns? (Besides the unclear photo of zip cuff guy) That's honestly surprising, given how heavily armed protests have typically been this year, as well as the mass media description of the event

    In the few news videos that I've seen, there was a brief but very clear shot of someone carrying a wooden rifle.
