"I think it's crazy. I think it's mind boggling. I didn't even know that was possible to be able to go inside of the Capitol like that and honestly it's scary," said Niah Smith of Boston.
In Nubian Square protesters, held signs waved flags and expressed their frustration with Wednesday's violence.
"There was a call tonight for us to be out here," said Antuan Castro Del Rio of Watertown. "And we are here to say that we stand for democracy."
