 **On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. was stormed** during a riot and violent attack against the U.S. Congress. **A mob of supporters of President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his defeat** in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes to formalize Joe Biden's victory. The Capitol complex was locked down and lawmakers and staff were evacuated while rioters occupied and vandalized the building for several hours. **More than 140 people were injured in the storming. Five people died either shortly before, during, or after the event.** **On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. was stormed** during a riot and violent attack against the U.S. Congress. **A mob of supporters of President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his defeat** in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes to formalize Joe Biden's victory.

Line 18: Line 37:
 Trump called for his supporters to "walk down to the Capitol" to "cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them." He told the crowd he would be going with them. As to the counting of Biden's electoral votes, Trump said, "We can't let that happen" and suggested Biden would be an "illegitimate president". Trump also said, "you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated." Trump called for his supporters to "walk down to the Capitol" to "cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them."

-During Trump's speech, his supporters chanted "Take the Capitol": "Taking the Capitol right now"; "Invade the Capitol"; "Storm the Capitol"; and "Fight for Trump." The New York Times places the fall of the first barriers at 1:03 p.m] Before Trump had finished speaking at 1:12 p.m., an estimated eight thousand supporters had begun moving up the National Mall, with some shouting that they were storming the Capitol.+During Trump's speech, his supporters chanted "Take the Capitol": "Taking the Capitol right now"; "Invade the Capitol"; "Storm the Capitol"; and "Fight for Trump."

 On January 6, the "Save America" rally of Trump supporters filled The Ellipse, which is just south of the White House grounds and about 1.6 miles from the Capitol.  On January 6, the "Save America" rally of Trump supporters filled The Ellipse, which is just south of the White House grounds and about 1.6 miles from the Capitol.

 The rioters caused extensive physical damage. The combined costs of repairing the damage and post-attack security measures (such as erecting temporary perimeter fencing) already exceeded $30 million and would continue to increase. Interior damage from the riot included broken glass, broken doors, and graffiti; some statues, paintings, and furniture were damaged by pepper spray, tear gas, and fire extinguishing agents deployed by rioters and police. The historic bronze Columbus Doors were damaged. Items, including portraits of John Quincy Adams and James Madison, as well as a marble statue of Thomas Jefferson, were covered in "corrosive gas agent residue"; these were sent to the Smithsonian for assessment and restoration. A 19th-century marble bust of President Zachary Taylor was defaced with what seemed to be blood.  Because the Capitol is not insured against loss, taxpayers will pay for damage inflicted by the siege. The rioters caused extensive physical damage.

 +I originally had player "colors" based on participants in the January 6th sedition, but decided to get rid of them, as this event is already too raw, and having to pick a group to represent with was hard for most to do.  For historical sake, here are the groups I originally had as options:
 +
 +
 +"Team MAGA"
 +"The Proud Boys"
 +"Capital Police"
 +"Oathkeepers "
 +"Neo-Nazis"
 +"Fascists"
 +"White Supremacists"
 +"Antifa"
 +"Republicans"
 +"Women for America First"
 +"Tea Party"
 +"MAGA Shaman"
 +"Stop The Steal"
 +"MyPillow "
 +"FBI"
 +"Three Percenters"
