Run-of-the-mill vandalism? No, graffiti is run-of-the-mill vandalism. Looting is a serious crime.

So... all the looting that took place while those protestors were inside the capitol building... that's a serious crime?

And I don't think anyone who entered the Capitol seriously expected to "interfere" with the election process. I doubt anyone thought this would stop Biden getting into office. That wasn't the motivation.

I mean... it's gotta be said that if this was a real attempt to overthrow the gov't, then it's akin to a 5-year-old playing Batman.
"I'm gonna fight the crimes and make the bad guys pay!"
"Sure you are, honey, now go brush your teeth and put your jammies on for bedtime."

I'm pretty bothered by even normally OK news agencies calling this a "violent insurrection." It wasn't. It just fucking wasn't. This is America - we know how to do violence right. We kinda pride ourselves on it, as fucked up as that is. This was not American violence.

Sure, a few people had guns, but this is the US fuckin'-A. People gonna have guns. Those guns were holstered, and not being used by any protestors (AFAIK) to threaten anyone. There were reports of bombs, but AFAICT, there were a couple bombs in the city of DC, but nowhere near the protest at the capitol, so meh. Not related.


It was criminal trespassing and looting, with some misguided childish nonsense about sticking it to the man, but I don't think it's wrong to say those people wanted to interfere with the election process. They did actually interfere. They put one of the steps of the process off for a few hours. Whether or not they expected their actions to change the outcome of the election is kinda beside the point.
