I've pretty well gone with our government for good or bad for almost 69 years, our constitution and laws also, for the most part. I know what they were doing, attacking the Capital and do not approve. Penalties much harsher than any other situation? Fine with me. This wasn't any other situation in the last hundred and fifty years or more.
Why not charge them with harsher crime? That would have something to do with what they could prove. I call that good prosecutorial discretion. I hate it when they try to run a charge list beyond reality, pissing off the jury, the judge and everybody else, hoping something will stick. I was foreman on a jury at the trial of a young man, where they tried to without enough evidence for most of the charges. You could say, I made the point in the jury room until everybody was equally pissed at the overreach and led them to clear of all charges, as jury nullification can be a two-way street, not just something for the defense, but the prosecutorial indiscretion and attempt to railroad, nullified me to the point, I would have rather jailed the prosecutor and maybe a deputy sheriff or two.
Who are "you assholes"? Anybody and everybody that participate or approves of what Trump and the MAGA assholes of that day were attempting to do, in the way they attempted to do it, plus the whiners of how the guilty were mistreated by the justice system, they invited themselves to, by their actions. When you lose as the polls, the state governor's offices or attorney generals offices, and a myriad of court cases where his lawyers either tried to present no evidence, had no evidence, only had evidence easily dismissed as bogus or hearsay, or denied they were even attempting to prove of charge what they told on FOX NEWS or the courthouse steps for fear of being disbarred for malfeasance at the bar, you have lost, and the rest is just whining sore loser bullsht of little kids crying because they did not get their way, this time at the urging of Donny and his inside crew of anti-American scum. I hate it that some were too stupid to know any better than to believe the BS from their leader, but stupid is as stupid does and mob stupidity usually turns out bad.
I would only punish those found guilty after being prosecuted in the court. There are lots of trump supporters the were not there that day. Sure, I blame them not recognizing his lack of character before the 2016 election, but of course, he was running against Hillary, and she was no better, when it came to character and could have turned out to be even worse in office, as she easily has 30 IQ points on that asshole and knew the government inside and out, making her potentially far more dangerous.
