No one did any of that crap because no one had any intention of breaking the law. It was supposed to be a lawful protest that the President endorsed.
Their mistake was getting caught up in the moment and entering the Capital when the FBI opened it and encouraged them to go in.
If they had done all that OPSEC stuff you mentioned then they could have risked going in there.
But that wasn't the plan and they should have stayed the fuck outside.
Counter sue for entrapment.
Just because you don't plan on committing a crime doesn't mean you shouldn't take precautions incase you are forced to commit one, accidentally commit one, or commit a crime with no say in the matter in the case of something like possession.
With the benefit of hindsight I'm sure all the people being rail roaded would agree with you.
