most likely because the police that let them in were complicit? do you not remember someone getting killed when they tried to breach the inner chambers? what's the point that you're circling here? that these people were there to take a tour of the capitol and the gallows, weapons, and IEDs they brought and chants of "hang mike pence" were just jokes? based on the fact that outnumbered police didn't open fire on the crowd? just come out and say it. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iludfj6Pe7w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iludfj6Pe7w - https://apnews.com/article/capitol-siege-florida-virginia-conspiracy-government-and-politics-6ac80882e8cf61af36be6c46252ac24c https://apnews.com/article/capitol-siege-florida-virginia-co...

so, outnumbered police didn't open fire on the crowd and let that crowd into the Capitol (where lawmakers and Mike Pence were present) despite the crowd having weapons and IEDs and chanting "hang mike pence". That doesn't compute. If the police had any suspicion of weapons and IEDs or were perceiving the chant as anything but a joke or were perceiving any threat to other people in the Capitol i'm sure they would have opened fire.

    "Benedict wouldn’t offer a description of the devices or say what materials they contained, but a law enforcement official familiar with the matter said they contained an explosive powder and were set to go off via the timer." and "It’s still unknown why the devices did not explode, the official said. One theory under investigation is that the timers were set incorrectly. Another is that the batteries may have been improperly connected, the official said" Go google pictures of the "pipe bomb". It is cartoonishly stupid looking. It's using a mechanical kitchen timer, that has no electricity or battery, as the ignition for $0.50 of pipe from Home Depot will with, if I had to guess, powder from roadside fireworks. Everything is connected with alligator clips, not even real wiring or soldering, and in one photo one clip is clearly attached to plastic. This isn't a bomb, it's a firework with a non-existent detonator, and the law enforcement is deliberately vague about because they know it isn't a bomb, but that's no the narrative they want. It's not even clear how they knew anything at all about the devices considering they used a EOD robot to destroy it on-site. Why are the not-bombs in plain sight? Not even attempted to be hidden? Why does is it designed to cartoonishly look like a bomb and not disguised as literally anything else? Why not put it in, I don't know, a plastic grocery bag at least? Why put it in a completely empty alley where there would be virtually no one around to be hurt? This was designed to cause a scare, not hurt anyone. It screams false flag to me, and it worked, because every media outlet reported this as a bomb with zero critical thought or journalism involved, and the entire world now thinks there were bombs when it seems absurdly obvious there wasn't.
