Subject: Re: Michael Sparks sentenced
So in your view, breaking into the Capitol with the intent of obstructing the certification of the Presidential election is not that big a deal.

I didn't see this in the list of charges...

It did say "Obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder." But we have seen that all too often with activists disrupting the Senate during confirmation hearings. I am not sure those criminals even get charged, let alone serve actual prison time.

It's the difference between pressing up against a barricade and demonstrating (Kavanaugh confirmation), and the barricade being tossed out of the way, entering the building (with people in it) with the intent of totally stopping the legal process inside permanently and in such a way that law enforcement has to evacuate the lawmakers, some afraid for their lives, and it's an overwhelming force.
