The fact that very few of them had firearms also seems like a good argument for the whole thing being premeditated, as they're usually dripping in AR rifles and handguns, but carrying them in would've made the Capitol Hill police much more likely to open fire. The incident of the woman that was shot whilst climbing through a door is very disturbing, but the whole thing could've been so much worse if they charged in weapons drawn.
