#IAmVernonJones declared to his fellow insurrectionists:

"We're taking our country back!"
"Hold the line!"--a phrased echoed by rioters attacking the police.

Flashbangs barely distract him from encouraging the people to revolt against the government.

2/
#IAmVernonJones' insurrection:

"Vernon!"
"Hey, you still call yourself a Democrat, man?"

Things got a little dicey there, but the mob was distracted by the cheers as someone climbed the NW scaffolding, and he was welcomed after all.

"Vernon Jones!"

1/ Before 1/6 “The House Sergeant at Arms warned Members of Congress...to arrive early...and use underground tunnels to travel" between office bldgs &
"the Capitol, instead of walking.... Such precautions are not common during protests"

nbcwashington.com/news/local/dem… 2/ Beyond guarding the Capitol & congressional office bldgs, Capitol Police “patrols take them as far as the area around Union Station.”

USCP controls the "movement of all vehicular and other traffic, including demonstration activity," on Capitol Grounds
