I would like to see Snipers in prominent positions, for the public to see, at the Trump sentencing hearing. The faux fascists and supporters must be shown that No one is above the law. They must be shown there are CONSEQUENCES to their actions. Had there been snipers at the Capital, Jan 6th would not have progressed to what it became.

I think we can assume that all future electoral counts will take place with the Capitol surrounded by high fencing and National Guard troops. That's MAGA's gift to America.
You don’t need a huge national guardsmen presence. Snipers in clear view backed by snipers not in plain view. Make clear announcements that anyone beyond the barriers will be shot. When/if the first breach happens, they get dropped. They need to understand that this is serious and that there are consequences. I once got too close to the entrance of a Nuclear power plant and was rushed by guards armed with automatic weapons. I told them I was helping with my son’s school project and they de-escalated the situation.
If America has to resort to what you describe, democracy and the rule of law has already lost. That scenario is not part of civil society. It's a dystopian nightmare where brutal force meets brutal force with lots of collateral damage. Yes, there are consequences - America becomes a police state either way.
I hate that our Capitol - from now on - has to be surrounded by troops when we're electing a President. But this is what MAGA has brought us to, I can still see the difference between armed force used in the defense of democracy and armed force being used to destroy democracy.
Anyway, the idea of having a sufficient show of force is that nobody gets hurt because nobody is stupid enough to challenge it.
One of the fallacies of Jan 6 was that they didn’t take theat of domestic terrorism seriously. The didn’t have National Guard in place to reinforce the small Capital Police force. 4 unarmed students at Kent State were killed by inexperienced National Guard in Ohio in 1970. Trump wanted non-violent protesters shot so he could have a photo op in front of a church. Having snipers to protect the seat of our democracy on the day they were scheduled to confirm the Presidential Election is NOT an unreasonable expectation.
