On Wednesday morning, the photographer @ashgilbertson was on assignment for @nytmag, taking pictures of the Save America rally in D.C. until mid-morning, when he got a text: “Get to the Capitol.” In his own words, he narrates what went down as he took these photos.
“I closed the two miles between my position and The Hill as quickly as I could – running. I rolled up on the Capitol: flash bang grenades, smoke bombs and pepper spray. Melees between police and Trump loyalists. People climbing the walls, and a man lying on the ground who’d fallen. Both legs were broken, a medic said, maybe his back, too. I shot him being taken away atop a metal barrier and looked up. The police are retreating. Protesters screamed and waved to advance.
And I thought: This is the moment. If they get inside, I have to go up there now. But I’ll miss all this coverage outside – and it was dramatic, powerful imagery – the haze of smoke bombs and pepper spray, people climbing those walls, U.S. flags waving or being used as jousts. Hand to hand combat between cops and a wild mob right there on the front steps of the Capitol. But news is new, and if they get inside, that’s the story, I decided. So I scrambled up the wall and dragged myself over onto a landing. There were people on the ground, and others running over the top of them.
‘Go! Move! Go!’ a man was screaming, over and over.
Chaos. So I climbed onto a wide stone banister and ran.
‘Don’t stop! No matter what, don’t stop!’ someone yelled from behind me, and I stopped and turned around.”
