Quote:So an old lady who was just there to protest but ended up entering the Capitol building near the end should be charged the same as people who's violent actions actually killed a police officer? If you say so.
There was no one who was just there to protest ....
They were there to commit violence or cheer the violence on.
There were a lot of people there. Clearly not all of them were organized. Some of them had a plan. Others did not. If they were there to protest Biden being falsely elected, they had that right, and it's free speech to believe that Biden should not become President. That belief doesn't automatically entail an intention to overthrow the duly elected government. These are two separate things, although I know you like to conflate and pretend everything is the same. Many people have admitted they went into the building to stop the vote. Others have not admitted that, and many were there to protest and got caught up in the moment and stupidly went into the building. I don't think they need to be locked up for the rest of their lives.
