11/ The large plaza before the Capitol was empty. There was virtually no police presence; everyone was on the other side of the Capitol, the side closest to the Ellipse. Bike racks were ringing the area, but they seemed unnecessary. The whole area was, quite simply, a ghost town. — PolitiTweet.org

10/ ...the front of the Capitol was almost deserted, but for a long bank of stationary media positions, many of them manned by foreign press. Even as sirens blared across the city and news came in of fighting on the other side of the Capitol, *this* end of things was... peaceful. — PolitiTweet.org

12/ So why was the press there? Why did so many foreign news organizations have cameras trained on the front steps of the Capitol? What information had they gotten that—instead of an absolutely empty wasteland—they were going to have something to show audiences around the world? — PolitiTweet.org
