Beyond the obvious rioting, assaults of capital police, vandalism and murder of one officer, the prosecution has to be rock solid, because this is far deeper than many imagine. So it must be well investigated, well documented and well proved. And that's not because they're all white. That's because of the nature of the crimes and who was involved.
Think about it. This isn't about a few yokels from fly over country. This probably involves sitting members of Congress, high level administration officials and a former president. And if we don't do this right, it will appear to be political in nature, and we don't lock people up simply for having different political beliefs, no matter how vile or undemocratic.
The collusion, the planning and all who were involved...all of them...must be investigated the right way and solid evidence collected and presented to grand juries. There's no room for even minor fuck ups here and that takes time. Just because you don't see anything splashed across the news on a daily basis, don't think nothings happening. Lots and lots of things are happening that we are not privy to...yet.
