Even Trump is not defending them anymore:
"To demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol: you have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction: you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law: you will pay."
-- Trump, Jan. 8, 2021

Call them what they are: Domestic terrorists and criminals.

That's an interesting description of scaling walls, breaching bullet-proof windows, battering down doors and bludgeoning a cop to death with a fire extinguisher. True patriots.

They are all going to prison. And they’re damn lucky they weren’t black or several of them would be dead.

And the excuses begin. Someone said that ignorance of the law is no excuse.
I looked up the legal requirements for insurrection earlier today. Everyone who entered non-public areas of the Capitol without permission violated that law. The penalties, if found guilty, are up to 10 yrs in jail and/or a fine. These idiots probably need 30 days in jail and at least $2k fine each.
In general, I'm against "fence warrants" towards google, but not this time. Anyone dumb enough to bring their cell phone and/or be in a photo deserves the jail+fine. 2 yrs of parole cleaning up trash at their state buildings back home would be good too.

We don’t really go for the Berkut/GRU solution.

But ok, let’s try it your way. Imagine he was a BLM protester. “He was an armed violent criminal trespasser. He should have been taken down with lethal force.” Something like that?
“He was carrying a spear with an 8 inch metal blade, shouting and dressed in war paint. I thought my life was in danger” said Officer McImagination who fired the lethal shot.

Perhaps they should have gassed the crowd before any rioting took place and had the National Guard lined up outside first, you know, like trump would have.

They are already making arrests because as I said previously, these people were really really stupid. Telling reporters their names, wearing ID badges, posing for photos mid-federal crime.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the laptop is on Craigslist already.
Lucky trump passed an executive order with harsher penalties for this kind of thing.

Find each and everyone of the criminal thugs obeying their Trump in a failed attempt to overthrow the government and install Trump as ruler.
