Looks like every stupid game player gets a stupid trophy

[Horace]

The CEO of an Illinois marketing firm who was charged during the storming of the U.S. Capitol this Wednesday is now saying that participating in the mob violence was the worst decision of his life.

Yes I imagine it was. He will be dealt with much more harshly than any participant in a BLM protest that turned violent.

Anybody who joins a right wing protest these days has little cultural awareness, or maybe just nothing to lose. Meanwhile, anybody can join left wing protests all day, with impunity.

Nobody is going to put his name on the back of an NFL helmet.

@Horace Had he just joined a protest I’m sure he’d be fine. He participated in the assault on the Capitol.

You think anybody outed as being there, even if they didn't storm the capital, will be fine? Their jobs safe?

Let this be the end of violent protests. Very exciting. Throw the book at them.

I'm fine with that. They wanna prosecute last year's arsonists I'd be okay with that, too, but it'll be harder. The Capitol's surveillance is a bit more robust than basically everywhere.

Absolutely, I'm all for throwing the book at mob protesters who break the law. We have to (finally) set some decent precedents around that. We've obviously been teaching some very bad lessons of late.

Throwing Trump supporters in jail is not a precedent to throwing blm supporters in jail.

That is entirely different.
