Capitol Traitors Face Possible Death Sentences

     The Founding Fathers created the First Amendment, but they did not support lawlessness. The idea that the white supremacists and anti-semites who stormed the Capitol are anything but seditionists and murderers is absurd. The people who simply hung signs outside did not commit a crime, but those who rioted in the capitol, ultimately killing five, face possible death sentences:

1. Many of the rioters clashed with and assaulted police officers, stole government property, stole mail, forced entry, damaged government property, etc., all of which are federal felonies.

2. A police officer was among those killed, and, if people die while someone commits a felony, they are guilty of murder. Those involved with the dead protestors and who beat the officer to death may face the death penalty, which Trump ironically restored at the federal level in 2019.

3. The people who constructed a noose while shouting, "Hang Mike Pence!" are guilty, under a law passed in 1996, of "attempted murder of a public official to prevent the discourse of duty" and could face the death penalty.

4. Trying to overturn the election through force is sedition, punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison.

5. The sea of clowns with Nazi shirts will be investigated and could face hate crime charges, which carry extra penalties.

     Something to be proud of, indeed, assholes!
