So, what we have is several heart attacks and a stroke, and the murder of an unarmed woman. Yet the media screams the attack on the capital killed 5 people.....


First things first Krijack. The media are in for profit businesses. They changed in the 1970s when news departments had been operated at a financial loss to having to also make a profit. That's when they began hiring sexy looking women in the news departments. And then the Fairness Doctrine was repealed in 1987 (thanks Reagan!), and news media became entertainment, first and foremost. Objective reporting hasn't been a media requirement for over 30 years, making the likes of Rush Limbaugh possible.

Now, back to the unarmed woman. While tragic that she lost her life, she was the "tip of the spear" among the mob trying to break into the House Chamber. The Capitol police had the job of protecting the people inside. If the mob had gotten in, they couldn't have protected the people as they were supposed to. After shooting the first person trying to get in, the rest of the mob lost much of its eagerness. Again, play stupid games, like directly attacking the Capitol of the US, and winning a stupid prize is darn near a foregone conclusion.
