If I broke into your house and damaged something, I bet the charge is going to be a felony. I bet if I tried to overthrow the government, it would be a felony. If I invaded your house and tried to harm you, I bet it would be a felony. Let us change the “I” to all those people who broke into the Capitol Building January 6. They are being charged with misdemeanors. How do a bunch of insurrectionists get off with a slap on the wrist?

            The cost of repairing damages from the attack on the U.S. Capitol and related security expenses have already topped $30 million and will keep rising, Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton told lawmakers.

            If we don’t want this, or maybe even worse, happening again, they should be charged just as you or I would if you or I would break into someone’s house. The Capitol Building should rank higher than someone’s house on the importance chart so the level of the crime should be higher, not lower!

            The sentence should be at least one year behind bars and a fine of over $10,000 plus court costs with the money going to repair the damage and the clean-up.
