lets also put some explosives at the RNC. I want to know, what was the explosive potential of the 2 bombs. Why didn't they go off?

multiple law enforcement agencies received reports" of the explosives at around 1 p.m."

"The bomb behind the RNC was discovered on Jan. 6 at around 12:45 p.m., about 90 minutes before rioters entered the Capitol. Resident Karlin Younger was on her way to do laundry when she spotted something unusual on the ground between a recycling bin and a rat trap. Younger said in an interview that she bent down to inspect the device, which was attached to what appeared to her to be a kitchen timer. The timer was set to 20 minutes, she said. She did not hear any ticking and could not tell if the timer was active. She alerted a nearby security guard, who she said inspected the device and then notified law enforcement."

"The device that was found at the R.N.C. was a pipe bomb that was successfully destroyed by a bomb squad, according to an official for the R.N.C."

With the mask, glasses and hood, you can’t see a damn thing.

Person honestly looks pretty creepy.
