Lol right? That one asshole got shot entering the main chamber and it only had the VP and congress. You think they won't just open fire on protesters getting half way up the lawn of the white house? Hell, Trump is probably asking if they can send troops in to break it up cause their standing around with signs.

Fun Fact, the lawn itself can defend against crowds. It's loaded with less-lethal rubber bullet mines such as the Stingmore Mine and the M5 Crowd Control Munition.

I was actually pretty disappointed to find out the Capitol didn't have some anti-crowd measures besides doors.

What are we paying the MIC for if they won't even make automated anti-riot taser turrets?

They probably only care about the guy with the launch codes, I guess. TBF though, those doors worked as long as nobody opened them.

hey those sticks that hold the signs are pointy! clearly a dangerous weapon, and a danger to the snipers on the roof
