Capitol Mob - "Pretty Normal People"

I know when i link to studies they are quickly dismissed as having a 
leftist liberal bias. But i'm not so sure this one will receive such a 
reception.

Nearly 90% of the people charged in the Capitol riot so far have no 
connection with militias or other organized extremist groups, according to 
a new analysis from George Washington University’s Center on 
Extremism. It found that more than half of people facing federal charges 
over the 6 January attack appear to have planned their participation 
alone, not even coordinating with family members or close friends. Only 33 
of the 257 alleged participants appear to have been part of existing 
“militant networks”, including the Proud Boys and the Oath 
Keepers anti-government militia.

The largest category according to the report, was a 
“hodgepodge” of individuals with a variety of extremist 
beliefs who made plans to come to the rally on their own.

A separate analysis of court records by the Chicago Project on Security 
and Threats, looking at 290 arrests connected to the Capitol attack, found 
very similar results to the George Washington University report, including 
that only 12% of alleged participants were part of militias or other 
organized violent groups.

Which also concluded that the supposed cure - arresting members of those 
extremist groups- is worse than the disease

Reported in that unreliable newspaper.

This a confirmation of what i already stated and others i think concurr 
that the riot at the Capitol was not a pre-meditated insurrection and 
certainly no coup but a situation that simply got out of control.
