There are a lot of people who got jailed who in reality should more realistically have just gotten charged with trespass an fined.
The other point is the Capitol Building is owned BY THE PEOPLE.
You want to visit it, you visit it.
Destruction of property is a whole different matter. Obviously the security guards were overwhelmed. This could also have been de-escalated to a degree by Security treating people more as visitors than a invading horde. Certain folk were going to tear up a few offices no matter what, so let them then charge those crimes appropriately an Pelosi & others could just redecorate later.
Congress's attitude has been so far out of touch that people acting like they do in other countries STILL didn't wake them up. In reality this was one building, one incident that hasn't been repeated. No ones pointed out that any members if Congress who supported Trump could have raced down there an attempted to diffuse the worst of the situation, especially since no one else was going too.
Right, courage, definately too much to ask for.
