    1. @David Drake Oh, please. Those insurectionnists deserve far more to be thrown in jail than people serving time just because they were caught with recreational drugs.

    2. —- > I don’t know why but Fuglusi is lying. And 800 people is not too many to hold accountable. There were probably more than that
      18 U.S.C. § 2383 Rebellion or insurrection
      …. “Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of of holding any office under the United States.”

    1. @Iain Herridge I don’t need to excuse it, they aren’t guilty of it. Domestic terrorism is a crime. The “they” is thousands of different people, they will be tried accordingly. If you guys really want to get the people in charge of this call up your senators and demand that they vote to impeach the ringleader. Oh and if you live in Texas or California vote out Cruz and Hawley.

    2. WHAT FUGLUSI SAID IS A LIE..
      18 U.S.C. § 2383 Rebellion or insurrection
      …. “Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of of holding any office under the United States.”

    1. Agreed, at all levels. We cannot prosecute the insurrectionist that entered the Capitol and give the elected instigator officials and Trump a pass. All who were involved need to be held accountable so that we can all heal.

  1. ACCOUNTABILITY! It is BS that we didn’t have laws for domestic terrorism after the Oklahoma bombing. It is not going away.

    1. —- > There’s insurrection: 18 U.S.C. § 2383 Rebellion or insurrection
      …. “Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of of holding any office under the United States.”

  2. No. These were Republican voters, so it’s OK. Republicans will not support legislation that punishes them.

  3. This is very concerning and dangerous. It’s unacceptable to allow this when there is a rise in domestic terrorism in this country. It’s staggering to me that this isn’t already in place. 🙏🇺🇸🌺

  4. Each and every one needs to be identified and charged to the fullest extent of the law . NO exceptions .

  5. BS. They ALL should be held accountable. If not, then anyone can do the same without expectations of consequences.
    They’re only charged with misdemeanors anyway.
    That’s not okay.

  6. Just another thing for President Biden to deal with and clean up and hold legislation accountable to make actual laws. FFS

    1. @Trent Bowie — > Yes, that too. These people didn’t just wander into the Capitol. They were at Trump’s rally. Still, I might have felt sorry for some of them if the media wasn’t LYING and trying to let them all off the hook.

    2. @jannmutube I know! it’s infuriating. Hearing about that lady who went to that rally/riot and back ON A PRIVATE JET, just makes my blood boil. Especially when she was begging for a pardon the minute she got arrested. Pathetic.

  7. Everyone who entered is guilty of accessory to manslaughter. Breaks should only be given to those who admit to being conned by the Don. No remorse, no leniency.
