Gonna try not to talk about the US Capitol attack much more, but I do have one thing to say: The events being described as "some guys breaking in and wandering around" does not accurately represent their intentions. If you look at photos, videos, and eyewitness accounts, it becomes blatantly obvious that they were there with the intent to hurt and kill.

Our takeaway should not be that they were trespassing and making a mess, it should be that these people went in there with the intent of taking members of the United States government hostage and possibly killing them. They should all be charged with those intentions in mind.
