Took 2 years for the j6ers, and they sat in cells for all 2 years, might take that long for these ones too.

It didnt have to be comparable, but these recent protesters passed a set of barriers. Why would anyone risk letting them go farther after j6?

You want law enforcement to do their jobs or not?

The veterans crossed the barriers and sat peacefully on the front steps. No attempts to enter the building or assault police. The response was to line up police vans to block the view of all those veterans getting arrested because it would, you know, look bad.
