      Fortunately it was a coup attempt conducted by the least competent group of people on the planet.

          A few did. They never got to live out their cowboy-like fantasy of using it there, though.

          The timidity of the prosecutors is appalling. Some did bring guns. All intended to commit felonies. removed got shot and died. If it had been a 7-Eleven instead of the Capitol, every single one of them would have been charged with felony murder.

        And so was the Beer Hall Putsch. How did that turn out in the log run?
