> many of them armed I haven't heard of more than 5 firearms. No mention of where those were. Videos I have seen just show flags, signs, cameras, and mobile phones. What were these "many" armed with?

One guy rolled up with a truck off molotov cocktails and firearms. Several IEDs were discovered and detonated by bomb squads.

  So like CHAZ?

    I'm not aware of a truckload of molotov cocktails, or IEDs in CHOP. In either case, that's whataboutism. If the same thing happened in CHOP, yes, it would also be bad. Are you seriously suggesting this is acceptable behavior?

  So one guy is now many?

    Nine firearms plus one long gun, one container of molotovs, several pipe bombs, and two IEDs were seized by police. Additionally several released chemical agents at police. One beat a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher. One was photographed with a set of zip tie restraints. And that's just what was captured obviously. Presumably for everything found there were several more things concealed.

  Is the guy in custody? Who is he? What's his background?

Pipe bombs, molotov cocktails, mace, plenty of arms other than firearms. This article has some links to more info: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/one-of-the-trump-supporters-who-stormed-the-us-capitol-was-carrying-11-molotov-cocktails-and-an-assault-rifle-prosecutors-say/ar-BB1cAdYe https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/one-of-the-trump-sup... It'll be simplest to watch the AG charge people, since they only file those charges if they're confident in a successful prosecution. Charges will probably be trickling in for months as they identify the insurrectionists.
