Nick Ochs, a Hawaiian and member of the right-wing street gang the Proud Boys, had a grand ol’ time inside the nation’s Capitol Wednesday.

We need to see Sedition and Insurrection charges, not just the usual “misbehaving at a riot” charges. The context of the crimes matters greatly.
Accessory to murder might be a good addition, since 5 people died, one of them a Capital Police officer, beaten to death with a fire extinguisher to the head.
And finally, I would like to see multiple members of Congress added to the insurrection and accessory list, and then let’s have a talk about Hannity, Ingraham, Carlson, and the rest of the right wing media that fomented and spread this toxic narrative 24/7.

Agree 100%. A Republic, if we can keep it, per Franklin. The line must be drawn.

According to a statement of facts from a Metropolitan Police officer, Pruitt was arrested around 9:20 p.m. alongside others on the streets of D.C. for a simple curfew violation after Mayor Muriel Bowser had declared a state of emergency and night had fallen.
Later, as he was being processed, Pruitt caught the eye of an MPD investigator who’d seen his face — in an image on the Washington Post website.
Not the sharpest turnips in the sack, these ones.

Exactly. Anyone who entered the Capitol unlawfully after it was breached should be charged with Officer Sicknick’s murder.

Felony murder charges. All persons who participated are liable for any deaths that occurred during the commission of a felony, regardless of how they actually happened, i.e., even if the death was due to a shot of a police officer. .

You know if you look at in a slightly different way, these yahoos were Trump’s Army, or invading forces. And what did they do once they breached the Capitol? Thy smoked in a no smoking building, they rummaged through offices, they took selfies, and some of them killed a Capitol police officer, or at least aggravated assault and battery.
And once again each individual charged needs to pony up for damages done to our building.

Right. In a bank robbery, the getaway driver is just as culpable as the person who pulled the trigger and killed the security guard. This is no different. The rioters/insurrectionists breached the Capitol because they were able to overwhelm the police with greater numbers. This guy was part of that. He is just as culpable as the person who hit Officer Sicknick with a fire extinguisher.

It was just Tuesday wasn’t it that Georgia Dems earned two Senate seats. And then Wednesday morning the feelings of relief that McConnell would not be able to block President Biden for the next four years greeted us like the rising sun. For once the news was good. And Congress was going to formally declare the EC count.
A whole lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. President Nutso and his psycho mob carried out an act of destruction certainly equal to 9/11, if not the assassination of Kennedy in my memory.
It’s been a helluva ride friends. Thanks for your good thoughts and analysis. I think I will go and talk with my dog for a while. Peace.

I guess he didn’t know it was a non smoking area, so to jail he goes.

As more and more arrests are made I have a curious urge to see all their mugshots. Is that wrong?
