government, they went to insurrectionist rally to foment on killing people, and even built a hanging box, they attacked police officers, and some of them were injured and died in the process, then they invaded the chambers yelling for Pence and Pelosi, or anyone that could have been fair game if caught, they entered through smashed windows, beat the shit out of officers, got a hold of news people cameras and put them in a big pile and started destroying them, and basically rounding up the press......

I was always told that if you are a fucking accomplice to a crime you do and get the same punishment, because you knowing and willfully "participated".....did this fucker also hear and see police officers getting the living shit beat out of them.....what did he do to stop it.....fucking nothing.....again what and I missing here....terrorists are still fucking terrorists trying to take down a government process....this is really turning into a circus.....why is this law on the books if you are not going to use it......
