It's some kind of wild foolishness here. The guy participated in what's likely legally somewhere in the neighborhood of insurrection and then he stood there as international media was snapping photos and he didn't think to hide his giant nametag...

I'm sure most who ended up inside were just "following the crowd" and didn't actually plan to be there or murder anyone so it's probably not an "insurrection" in how I would personally define it, (as in, some planned execution of a coordinated intent to seize control of the government), but yeah, probably not the legal waters anyone wants to be swimming in.

In the history books, usually a failed coup is followed by either lining the plotters up against the wall without trial and shooting them or a public execution. It's no good

If I was there I'd be assuming that there'd be a whole slew of undisclosed trackers everywhere in that building - RFID readers picking up my credit cards, BTLE and WIFI sniffers picking up my phone, a cell phone interceptor recording my IMEI, facial detection and tracking, etc ... simply dripping in spy devices. I also wouldn't be surprised if they had some special artillery room with military grade weapons. It seems horrendously dumb to enter that building following a mob.

There's a fair bit of evidence to support the hypothesis that these weren't the brightest people.
