Heck, you can see way more than 100 people pushing against Daniel Hodges and his team, the guard in the infamous "crushing" video

They are all committing assault. Of course most of them aren't wanted or charged or ever will be. But they are certainly not a small number.
And to blithely suggest the people standing 200 or 500 or even 1,000 feet away from them cheering them on wouldn't have gladly pushed on that officer as well ... based on the videos here, you're clearly wrong.
- dragonwriter 6y agoAlso, over 100 people have already been arrested in connection with the attack, virtually all of them people who were detained or identified from video within the Capitol. And, per the FBI, there are more than 300 current active investigations, and that number is increasing. The “less than 100 wanted” simply doesn’t map in any reasonable way to reality.
