> there was no centralized organization to indicate an insurrection,

I think that I remember a man behind a microphone on TV telling people to march on capitol,

And some publicity for months saying that the day N something great will happen so stand "prepared to fight"

And people collected in buses paid for somebody,

And a purpose to hunt for somebody to hang him

And to stop the vote count

And some minions clearly videotaped while driving the masses,

In resume, a certain level of organization that would fall directly in the category of: clear planning, purpose, choice of a non random symbolic date and execution.

I think that we all could guess with a fairly accurate level of probability the name of that non-extant organization and even the names of the main instigators.

But we could also just pretend that nothing passed, and allow a second chance to try it again, probably with a higher body count this time

> They were not guns

Several people were videotaped carrying spears or baseball bats to the capitol for no reason, and using them as weapons, and those actions ended killing a policeman, so... who needs guns when you can smash somebody to death?

But don't worry, they will bring plenty of guns the next time.
