    IOW, the police shot an unarmed mother of 3 in the neck killing her.
    What are the elements of first degree murder?

    An aside: they don't really believe they will get to utopia. It just sounds very appealing to the masses and gathers votes.

    Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer are the desecration of that honorable place.

    I'm not surprised at all. I'm sure some of them are getting off due to lack of "evidence" but in reality it's because they're ratting each other out. Prosecutors want to ignore the small fish and get the ring leaders behind the violence.

    Indeed they do. The vast majority have a (D) in common.

    Yeah. Just because they overcharged a few individuals out of hundreds, doesn't make the lot of them trespassers. LOL.

    That is true, but the Liz Cheney, Paul Weaver, Steve Schmidt, George Conway, Jill Biden, John Kasich, Bill Kristol ... wing of the RP is not a small minority.

    From the article you gave us a link to, thought this is important.

    A charge of sedition - meaning incitement of a rebellion - has not been brought against any of the more than 400 people arrested to date. The most serious charges have been assault, conspiracy and obstruction of Congress or law enforcement.

    Prosecutors are in the early stages of building criminal cases ahead of the trials stemming from an attack that left five people dead including a police officer, forced lawmakers to hide for their own safety and interrupted the formal congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory.

    But missteps by the government could harm its credibility as accused ringleaders begin asking courts to drop some of the most serious charges.

    Charging the cop that killed the woman would be fine with me.

    It is okay for them to pay for the damage.

    BLM and AntiFA should also pay for damage to federal property.

    True. The never Trump Rinos are a particularly nasty lot. Fortunately that kind of Republican is a tiny minority in the House and a bunch of them in the senate are retiring in 2022.

    the ring leader was trump, and he can be President in 2024.

    a possible sitting President cannot be charged

    Unsurprising, aim high to try to get people to take plea bargains and then drop down when they call your bluff. Also you have to figure there was an enormous amount of evidence to wade through both CCTV and electronic.

    If you're talking the Weaver siege that was a round aimed at an armed and dangerous white supremacist which passed through him and over-penetrated, the FBI did nothing wrong.

    And we don't the circumstances, he could have been entirely justified or this could have been an accident.

    Today, use of the term "insurrection" to describe what happened in DC is just like use of the term "vaccine" to describe what people are standing in line to receive.
