If they would have taken steps to properly secure the capitol prior to the mostly peaceful protest, this along with the murder of an unarmed woman might not have happened.

You lose the right to call a protest 'mostly peaceful' when more than 135 people have been arrested and indicted, and five people died from the event. The moment people began breaking into and besieging the Capitol, it was not longer a protest. You're grossly mischaracterizing what happened.

By this logic, virtually all public demonstrations (even the ones that turn violent/riotous) are "mostly peaceful" because typically only a small minority of people actually take part in violence and looting in comparison to the greater whole. If you're willing to stand by that assertion as well, then I guess that's fine. Still wrong, but then at least you're being equitable.

That's been the running diatribe since the middle of 2020

 
"The autopsy showed that George Floyd almost certainly died of a drug overdose: fentanyl."

A few problems there, Tuck:

- The medical examiner said that, although that level of fentanyl could be fatal, he is not saying that's what killed him. It's one thing to die "with" something, another to die "from" something. You have to look at the whole picture.

- Drug overdose is not listed as the official cause of death, nor has it been updated to reflect drug overdose being the official cause of death

Among several warps on reality in this diatribe, that's among the most egregious.
