I do, too, V.J. It is just necessary for those responsible to be punished to the full extent to discourage further actions in the future. The instigators are as bad or worse than those who carried out their wishes as they did it for purely selfish motives–their own power. The rioters were dumb enough to carry out their wishes–some of them thinking it was for noble motives, others just to satisfy their own aggressive natures. Those who cheered them on while sitting safely above the fracas are equally responsible for the deaths and destruction. Hopefully they won’t once again be held unaccountable because of their station and power.
I agree fully, Judy. The instigators have played these people for fools. Likely Trump has promised to pardon them all. I sure hope they are all suitably punished.
I saw that video. I was shocked at what I was seeing. I also heard a NYT reporter said she would have been killed if other reporters hadn’t vouched for her
This is so hard to watch. So many bloody hands involved. I hope justice wins out.

Another reason to impeach him quickly before he can pardon everyone.

Absolutely disgusting footage, how the hell he hasn’t been arrested for domestic terrorism is beyond me.
