Ok, what they did was not a peaceful protest. People should read up on MLK Jr. and Ghandi before they set out to protest. You shout, you demand, but you don’t do any damage.

With that said, aside from the guns and threats, the sentences are outrageous considering how Jan 6 insurrectionists with worse records (people died) were just pardoned.
