Another vote for the Washington Post report. It is hard to grasp how close it all was to many more deaths and the incompetence without reading that account in full. Seems like the ego or, as has been mentioned previously, decision fatigue of Capitol police got in the way. Stenger saying he wished he’d retired last week as he was barricaded from the mob indicates his mind was already collecting his pension. I can’t see a rational reason for not having more force on stand by for such a gathering.
