>I can’t help but notice how quickly it was use as an excuse for repression.

Let's just ignore the irony of the folks with "don't tread on me stickers" next to their "thin blue line" stickers marching on the capital chanting about and barely failing to kill the Vice President of the United States, or sitting Senators, as we know they were within a hallway of them as they (our elected representatives) were fleeing and huddled for protection. But I guess the core of their protest, over-turning a democratic election, is really admirable.

But charge them? Make them stand trial? How repressive indeed.

edit: "who got caught up", too cute.
