Would a reasonable person think the United States could be overthrown in a riot?

Nobody in the world thought they were going to "overthrow" the government. They were trying to keep the current government regime in power by smearing poop on the walls and stealing from offices.
Just because they failed so miserably doesn't mean they didnt commit those acts with the intention of doing so.
I think its also beyond debate when there are people in prison right now for seditious conspiracy.
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
