2 people died tragically: A police officer from the effects of rioters and an unarmed female shot by a police officer.

The three others died of natural causes - basically the strain of the protest tipped them over with heart-attacks and strokes.

What I find interesting is these details don’t seem to be communicated by the media - leading many to think that the rioters killed five people.

Earlier I saw a report that one of the others died because he shocked himself with a Taser while trying to pull a piece of artwork off a wall. Is that not true? Otherwise I’m not sure how this is relevant to my comment, since I explicitly called out that two of the deaths were “natural causes”.

I’d say that poor woman died precisely because she was brainwashed by an amorphous, cult-like movement—the very same movement behind the entire event, more or less—to think that leading an armed mob to where the members of our government’s legislative branch were taking shelter wouldn’t result in the use of force against her. So maybe the rioters didn’t kill her on an individual level, but the riot certainly did—and that’s relevant in the quantitative comparison I made in my previous comment.

Leading many to thing -correctly- that the rioters killed five people.

The actions of a group designed to deliberately create panic and terror caused the heart attack in the assaulted. Without the rioters this people would be alive today, therefore is obvious that they killed also those people.
