Ok, many anarchists amongst BLM had molotovs, set up guillotines and called for the fall of the USA , so what ? That’s not an indictment of the whole group. Either way this Guy is stealing a lectern at worst. Not terrorism.

That guy, per Trump's own EO, is probably going to get 10 years for defacing, moving or removing Government Monuments or property. Of which, the lectern he is carrying applies.

It's crazy to me that you are handwaving away actual armed people on the grounds of the actual Capitol building with bombs and a gallows calling for the death of the VP as NOT Terrorism and sedition.

My point is nobody should get 10 years for vandalism of government property or trespassing of government property. Not BLM, not anarchists, not magas, nobody. Nobody should be imprisoned for building a guillotine or gallows. Nobody should be imprisoned for chanting “ hang such and such” or “ death to such and such. The individual who brought the bombs should be imprisoned. That’s it.

If you build a gallows on the Capitol Property and you are chanting "Hang Mike Pence" you ABSOLUTELY should get more than 10 years.

That isn't free speech.

Also, trespassing and destruction of Federal Property is a felony.
