Is your intent to compare this to what happened on January 6?
Were they trying to overthrow the government?
Did they overpower and injure any guards?
Did they break through barriers?
Did they bust down doors?
Were they armed?
Did they bring zip ties to tie up their prisoners?
Did they steal or vandalize anything?

Were they approved to be there, if not, then yes they should be removed and held accountable.[This message has been edited by bonaduce (edited 09-11-2023).]

I agree, but trespassing does not usually carry jail time.
Even though I am very liberal I do not support all forms of protest. If they cross the line they should be arrested and removed. In fact protestors used to expect to be arrested. That was part of the plan to draw awareness to their cause.

Jan 6th wasnt an "insurrection" or "occupation" of the White House. If they wanted to do they they would have brought "Muskets and Torches". You know, like we did in 1814....

You just do not know as much about the evidence as the citizens who sat through weeks of trials. Multiple defendents have been convicted of sedition.

If anything, they'll probably get a hefty check from the government as a settlement for having their civil rights infringed upon.

I don't expect Pedo Peter to lift a finger to prosecute people on his team.
