However, a tiny handful of agitators get out of hand and commit crimes.

The number of people who broke into the Capital building was hardly insignificant.

What struck me most of about the mob was the obviousness of mental illness. The girl who was shot and killed, she had an instagram rant from her car, he came across as highly unstable. Her husband didn't even accompany her to DC. Very wierd. Many of the other guys look disheveled and stereotypically crazy. If anything is being mischaracterized, I thinks it's the idea that most of these people were level headed, they appear to be lost people. Trump casts a wide net, and these are the kinds of people he lured in.
