Good thing you're not in charge.Storming the capital building (which really is the only scenario where you would get on purpose) to stop the peaceful transition of power and murder politicians is not a misdemeanor. Thank god you are not in charge or they would have been treated with softer kitty gloves than they already have been.
Quote:The Capitol Police let people in.No, they didn't certain members didn't stop them because they couldn't stop them and other members were diralect in their duty and others were viciously attacked. So don't even try to paint this as not a storming of the capital building and some sanctioned act the cops were okay with......

Quote:You start shooting people if you want a civil war or something.No, you shoot them if they try and storm the building. If you storm the capital building to stop the peaceful transition of power then you itching for a civil war in fact ironically the same kind of people who stormed the capital have been itching for such an event for years.
Quote:You start shooting people if you want to give their cause a huge boost and turn them into political martyrs.No, you shoot them if they try and storm the building. If radical loony toons choose to treat those people as martyrs that's not your problem. Your job is to protect the building and the people inside.
Quote: You have no forethought, do you?No, you simply want there no consequences for this sort of shit. Because you are scared of offending a group of violent lunatics who be violent lunatics regardless of how nice you play with them ......
Quote:The rednecks who held up at the Bureau of Land Management building? That situation turned out well for the government.Translation "yield to violent lunatics because they might respond violently" You have no forethought in what that leads to. Oh, wait I forgot you think we should just have to "live with terrorism". You are a human doormat happy to let any group of extremist nutjobs walk all over you. Well, fuck that ....
The one guy seemed to be reaching for a gun when he was shot, so their side can't really say much about that, now can they? But if you just went in shooting all the people held up at the BLM building, then you've got another Waco situation, which could inspire another OKC bombing or far worse. You seriously have no forethought at all to consequences to government actions.
Nearly half are charged only with misdemeanors
And I wasn't claiming the Capitol Police let everyone in. I meant they let some people in, and then you want those same people who were let in to be shot in the head.
So you basically are itching for a civil war yourself and you want to Waco rednecks every time they tick you off. Got it.
