Jail.

But that might not work either. Might even make it worse.

The mob tried to stop the process of government. That was their goal, what they were told to do, why they travelled hundreds of miles.

To stop Congress from certifying the election. There is no minimizing this with hugs and listening. I think they were idiots, morons, and snowflakes.

They were also seditionists. Traitors.

I hate to do the switch but imagine if this had happened with liberals protesting the 2016 election. Imagine it was blacks, hippies, Muslims, etc storming the Capital to stop the certification of DJT as president.

No. I don't give a damn about changing their minds. I want them to pay for their crimes.

"he's a really nice guy. Sure, he beats me, but he just needs some understanding, it's probably my fault, maybe if I listened better..."

And there were plenty of times I changed my mind when my parents told me I was being stupid. These are children. They need to be told they are being stupid. With three squares and a cot and cinderblock walls to consider their stupidity.

Sorry, Rob, I just don't like people who try to overthrow our government for a wannabe orange dictator. I really don't give a damn about changing their minds.

And yes, I hold their actions in contempt. They are the one with contempt. For our constitution, our laws, the very principles that have formed our country. Like Lee Harvey Oswald. John Wilkes Booth. Like any that think that a mob is more important that hundreds of millions of voting citizens.

I hope the shaman enjoys his shit on a shingle for years.
