Given that's exactly what has happened numerous times when "largely peaceful" protesters have flooded into state capitols over the years it's very likely that is all that would have happened.

Remember when tens of thousands of Democrats flooded the Wisconsin state house and were actually threatening the Republican members and the police basically let them have free reign over the capitol building for a few days? How come no innocent women were shot in the face during that riot?
