I just... Cannot stop being furious and confused as to why the charges brought against the jan 6 rioters are so... ridiculously gentle. Anyone who has been in the court system can tell you it's standard practice these days for prosecutors to engage in charge stacking, yet these guys, nearly every one of them, get kid gloves?
Placed up against the infamous trial against the chicago 7 it is even more unbelievable that a "protester" proven to have broken into one of the highest houses of government and gave chase to an officer guarding that institution is given such light charges.
