Every single person who set foot on the Capitol grounds yesterday carrying out Trump’s orders is guilty of the law noted above.  This crime is felony, punishable by incarceration for up to 20 years.  The law reads:

“If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.”

This idiot is Jake Angeli, a well known Qanon conspiracy theorist who regularly shoots off his mouth at demonstrations.  He led the way into the Capitol yesterday with other rioters, and took part in taking over the Senate Chamber and was photographed on the dias. Yes, that’s a spear he’s carrying with an American flag tied to it.  He took a leadership role in this riot and sacking of the Capitol Building, and then, like the vast majority of these rioters simply walked out a free man.  To my knowledge he is still walking free.  He dresses like this to admittedly “attract attention”.  Like many Trumpists and “sovereign citizens” he obviously believes he’s above the law and can act with impunity (up to now, at least, he seems to be correct in his suppositions since he hasn’t been arrested in the past for his conduct.  At minimum, he’s now in violation of the Seditious Conspiracy law, as well as likely a number of other state, local, and federal laws.

This guy’s face is everywhere, so my question is, why in the hell is this criminal still walking the streets?  He, and everyone who participated in this riot and destruction of the Capitol building are criminals.  These criminals must be rounded up, jailed, charged and tried, and I mean swiftly.  The only way you stop this kind of behavior is to begin to swiftly bring these people to justice.  Charge them with crimes; confiscate their weapons, make to do actual serious jail time.  Only when we start enforcing the rule of law can we put a stop to this kind of protest.  This is not a First Amendment issue; this is a criminal sedition issue.  When Trump’s goons set foot on the Capitol Hill grounds, the protest ceased being a demonstration and became a felony.  We need to treat it that way, and I mean now.
