One Year Later, More Lingering Questions About January 6 › American Greatness

Lt Col Charlie Brown From the video in the public domain, Babbitt's murder was cannot be justified. Your question bears repeating often.

Of the 50-plus defendants who have been sentenced for their role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, fewer than half were sent to jail for their crimes. Most received an assortment of lesser penalties, including brief terms of house arrest, a couple years of probation, four-figure fines or court-ordered community service, according to a CNN analysis. The milestone of 50 sentencings was hit on Friday, a busy day in court, with six hearings on the schedule. Four defendants got probation Friday, including a pair of veterans from Wisconsin, while one man who stole a beer from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office got 20 days in jail. (CNN Dec 11, 2021)

One year after the Capitol riot, no one has been charged with sedition or insurrection, despite initial Justice Department claims that such charges were likely and former President Donald Trump being impeached for allegedly inciting an insurrection. Surely, if the rioters’ actions were as seditious and Trump’s foolishness was as dangerous as Democrats have claimed, we’d be seeing criminal charges that reflect the seriousness of those alleged crimes. But that hasn’t happened.
According to the Justice Department, more than 225 defendants had been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers; at least 275 defendants have been charged with obstructing a congressional proceeding; and about 40 defendants have been charged with some sort of conspiracy charge. But, again, no one has been charged with sedition or insurrection. (Washington Examiner Jan 6 2022)

I suppose it comes down to who’s lens you choose to look through!

SGT Charlie Lee -
I do not support any violent protest with the sole purpose of destruction, death or the interference of other individuals rights. In my opinion there is no question we as citizens of the United States should be ashamed and embarrassed of the actions taken by demonstrators on January 6, It was definitely the wrong message to send to our allies and foes of what American has become. A very divided nation that has become weak and may never heal.

It was probably the most peaceful demonstration of 2021. Look at LA, Minneapolis, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, etc. While the latter were let go after real crimes, The resurrection has taken more than a year with no due process.
