They shot and killed on rioter.

Should have been issued automatic weapons and lots of ammo then stacked the bodies up about 10 deep around the Capitol.

In every other instance of a failed coup that I know of, the coup plotters and their troops on the ground were either:
1. executed, or,
2. imprisoned for a long time, or,
3.exiled and never allowed back in the country.

I'm in favor of #1 but 2 or 3 works for me.
