Did these idiots think they were going to get away with this?

Arkansas man who occupied Rep. Pelosi’s office arrested by the FBI

Good. Throw the book at him and all the rest of the miscreants.

Now … they may have been lulled into a false sense of security by the fact that we’ve allowed people to riot for most of 2020 and almost nothing has been done about it, very few people have been arrested, and those who have been arrested have generally been patted on the hand and told to go home and I’ll see you tomorrow. Bring your marshmallows.

But anyone with any sense should know that invading the Capitol is a different thing and not something we can tolerate.

I hope the invaders get what they deserve, and I hope we have turned a corner in our permissive attitude towards riots.

To answer my own question, I don’t think there was a lot of thinking going on at all.

First, nothing was going to be accomplished — or could be accomplished — by storming the Capitol. Neither VP Pence nor the Senate have the authority to disqualify the electors. That was a stupid, misguided thing from the start.

Second, even if they were able to accomplish something — “we made our point” or whatever — they were sure to be arrested.

  1. There’s still been riots going on in Portland with Antifa sieging police stations. IMHO, the police ought to acquire flame throwers and put the fear of God or at least flames into the “protesters.” I have no problem with speech. Say what you want. Attacking our society like government buildings…well, prepare for the wrath to come.

    1. That’s the way it should be. There needs to be some serious investigation into why these riots have been allowed to go on for so long, and people should lose their jobs at a minimum.

    A retired New York Police Department officer was sentenced on Thursday to 10 years in prison for attacking the U.S. Capitol and using a metal flagpole to assault one of the police officers trying to hold off a mob of Trump supporters.

    The irony is astounding. What would cause an ex officer, that swore to uphold the law, to criminally assault a police officer? Seems he is getting what he deserves, nearly 20 months later. I guess it’s true…the wheels of justice roll slowly.
