Some people have been downplaying what happened on January 6th. To find out how serious this was for some members of the crowd, we should look at the charging documents. Here are some excepts when it comes to a group of Oathkeepers in the crowd. It answers a very important question on if some of the people who broke into Congress where trying to capture members of Congress. Yes, yes they were and they come there specifically to do it.

"Law enforcement and news-media organizations observed that members of an organization known as the Oath Keepers were among the individuals and groups who forcibly
entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021. "

"Caldwell, who lives in Virginia, provided logistical assistance, including finding the hotel in Northern Virginia where several members of the conspiracy stayed from January 5
through 7, 2021. Caldwell further coordinated with a group of co-conspirators who agreed to serve as a “quick reaction force” (“QRF”) to monitor the attack at the Capitol from a distance and be prepared to travel to the Capitol in the event they were called upon, possibly while armed.
Caldwell also provided maps informing the QRF team how to most effectively reach the Capitol
from their staging area. "

"On December 31, 2020, Kelly Meggs wrote a series of messages to another person on Facebook that said, “You guys Gonna carry?” and “Ok we aren’t either, we have a heavy QRF3 10 Min out though.”"

"At the approximate 5-minute mark, the voice believed to be Watkins reports,
“We have a good group. We have about 30-40 of us. We are sticking together
and sticking to the plan.” An individual responds, “We’ll see you soon, Jess. Airborne.” "

"At the approximate 7-minute-and-44-second mark, an unknown male states,
“You are executing citizen’s arrest. Arrest this assembly, we have probable cause for acts of treason, election fraud.” The voice believed to be Watkins responds, “We are in the mezzanine. We are in the main dome right now. We are rocking it. They are throwing grenades, they are fricking shooting people with paint balls. But we are in here.” An individual responds to Watkins, telling her to be safe, and states, “Get it, Jess. Do your fucking thing. This is what we fucking [unintelligible] up for. Everything we fucking trained for.” "

"Talked to [Person Three].5 At least one full bus 40+ people coming from N.C. Another group (unclear if Mississippi guys) also a bus. Busses have their own lane on the 14th street bridge so they will be able to get in and out. "

"On January 6, 2021, while at the Capitol, Caldwell received the following Facebook
message: “All members are in the tunnels under capital seal them in. Turn on gas.” When Caldwell posted a Facebook message that read, “Inside,” he received the following messages, among others: “Tom take that bitch over”; “Tom all legislators are down in the Tunnels 3floors down”; “Do like we had to do when I was in the core start tearing oit florrs go from top to bottom”; and “Go through back house chamber doors facing N left down hallway down steps.”"
