Lowkey breaking into a government building to prevent the peaceful transition of power, just like in a chill way.

  Haven't been on a tour where you get to bust open the door to the House Chamber to prevent the lawful transfer of power.

  > Do I need to refer you to many other examples where there was unauthorized entry into federal and state buildings that disrupted official proceedings Yes, please, give some examples, that could be good for the perspective.

    Every pro-Palestine incident in the past few weeks would be a start. Vietnam protests. Oh, and last I checked, Vietnam vets were still referred to as heroes. Not so different from those fighting in the Special Military Operation?

      Would be good examples - but where there are many pro-Palestine incidents lately which disrupted official proceedings? Vietnam is another story, different from January 6th, and it's about events 50 years ago - things could change since that.

  I can't say it's the same when protesters occupy a building as a symbol or for logistics purposes, and when "protesters" are called upon by the outgoing president to take power by force. There were armed militiamen in the Jan 6 incidents, and the police and security forces were told to look the other way many days in advance. A coup is not a building occupation.

    Literally obeyed the velvet ropes. Completely unarmed. 99% did not break anything, and the magnetic locks on the entrance were opened by Capitol police, after which people were ushered in by police. It’s all on video and in court documents
