Wait, breaking and entering into the capitol is “illegal parading”? I think insurrection is the wrong word too since it was more of a joke than a serious coup a

  > Wait, breaking and entering into the capitol is “illegal parading”? No, illegally parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol is a minor offense most Jan. 6 defendants were charged with, often along with much more serious offense, including, for many, that of breaking and entering, acts of violence, use of dangerous weapons, and destruction of government property (all of which are more serious offenses.) The claim that that is the most serious offense charged (its a misdemeanor that can result in a maximum of 6 months on prison) is just a lie, many of the acts can be punished with a decade in prison, some maybe more than that (I haven't checked every charged offense.)
