https://www.npr.org/2021/02/09/965472049/the-capitol-siege-the-arrested-and-their-storiesNearly every day since insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol, the list of those charged in the attack has grown longer. The government has now identified more than 200 suspects in the Jan. 6 rioting, which ended with five people dead, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.
As Congress considers a presidential impeachment in response to the attack, those criminal cases provide clues to key questions surrounding the Capitol breach: Who exactly joined the mob? What did they do? And why?
To try to answer those questions, NPR is examining the criminal cases related to the Capitol riot, drawing on court documents, public records, news accounts and social media.

Women are inferior;
Humans are the most important species on earth;
Any action can be forgiven by saying a few prayers &, of course, tossing money into basket on the designated day for super spreader events; AND
Unquestioning belief in irrational claims is essential to get a magic pass to the human contruct referred to as "heaven."
Doubt they will go there, sadly.
Religion has no place in politics, imho.

I'm not about censorship, but hate speech, lies and violent threats should not be part of legal vernacular. It's proven to radicalize people who listen to this noise pollution daily.

I've been on the receiving end for no known reason, to the tune of $10s of thousands in vandalism.
They need to be removed from society & live out their days in cages.

(80,249 posts)To have let them waltz out of capitol to go on to party a couple of days & disrupt flights on their way home -with zero consequences - serves only to embolden them.
If they had been robbing a bank... needs to apply!

I want everyone that was at that capital building part of that insurrection in prison. I don't care if they just marched around in their merch for a selfie, prison.
And these traitors in Congress that were there at the rally hyping these scumbags up, or tweeting them to fight, need to be removed and imprisoned for Sedition.
