Both groups of people, rioters/looters in the summer and anyone who SET FOOT on the congress building property, are criminal and should be brought through the justice system.
Sure, the times are circumstance and I'm willing to dole out proper and fair sentances... I don't think either group should have to face the '10 year sentances!' that trump whipped into effect; but what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
No one is saying that the folks in the summertime were all 'peaceful protesters'... and we've been dropping charges on those who were actors. However the same thing should happen to yesterdays participants.
They are all disgraceful. Mixed in the citizens who used their freedoms to protest in a legal way.
