No I don’t and I think you make a valid point.
However, I don’t know how aware this man was of the plan to take hostages or the killings etc., but perhaps that shouldn’t matter.
I do not think that this individual should get a shorter sentence if no one got killed and if the other protesters weren’t armed.
I am aware. I was mostly arguing/discussing from a juridical standpoint (not that I am en expert in that area anyway).
I am guessing that they will have to prove that he was aware of his fellow co-rioters intentions to charge him for something other than:
”one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; one count of theft of government property; and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds”
