Why are the events at the U.S. Capitol being referred to
as an insurrection rather than a protest? How would
you describe the event?

I believe that the events taking place at the U.S. Capitol is being called a peaceful protest because Trump Supporters want to prove a point to the organization "Black Lives Matter". Whenever I say this, I mean they want to prove if they can do that, then they can storm into the U.S. Capitol buliding. I would describe this event as Illegal, descructive, and terroism- a terroist event. If it includes any calculated use of violence, hurt people, or descruction. This is not a peaceful protest, this is dangerous and illegal. The election was fair and square, and there is no way Trump is going to legally become President Of The U.S. Hope this Helps!
