    It’s fascinating to watch this almost 18 months after the events. Most people have been charged, and pled guilty to, some variations of illegally entering and staying in the Capitol, vandalism, etc. People on video actually attacking police have faced more serious charges for those violent crimes. And we’re increasingly seeing leaders of groups like the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers charged with…seditious conspiracy! It’s been frustrating to watch the very slow progress of DOJ working their way through the indictments, but starting with the lower level offenders and working their way to the top is them going by the book. They just had to deal with hundreds of different cases and many thousands of hours of video footage and social media traffic to sort through.

      It depends. Cannibalism itself isn't always illegal. I can think of at least one performance artist in the UK who used that to obtain human flesh, which was donated to him, and then eat it in public. Officials tried to put him in prison, but couldn't because he didn't actually do anything illegal for the time. Although its hard to remember the specifics... He may have gotten saddled with a fine instead.

      By-and-large, they're from Rust Belt metropolitan areas, including a surprisingly large proportion of women, of whom many are Qanoncultists. Going down the racehole with this is symptomatic of the academic-prog identitarian obsession which let King Snowflake get elected in the first place. As an Indian-American who worked the desk at the testing center in my college wondered to me, "They talk about diversity all the time, but I'm working two part-time jobs for this school just to get by, because they won't hire me full-time."

      Hi Alexander, Agreed! And about "sheep", I would say that where there are sheep there is usually a shepherd. While we always rightfully retain the ability for critical thinking, we generally look to people and sources that we believe are knowledgeable and trustworthy for the facts we need to help shape our thinking. In that context, if people who identify as "conservative" insist, I am O.K. w/ calling these people and sources "shepherds", and myself a "sheep". But I would say to conservatives that they too have their shepherds. I would say that however/whatever we identify as, it is critical for us as individuals and as a nation that we choose our shepherds carefully.

      "Why is California so bad??? All I ever did was vote left and it isn't working! I can't afford anything anymore, I have to pay the highest tax rate out of any state on everything, there are homeless everywhere, and people pooping on the sidewalks! I'll just move out of California, and to another state where I will keep voting left because things will be different this time!"
      And for anyone who wants to shine some hate my way, look at California. Look at it hard. California is what you get from socialist democracy. Remember kids, California has not been a red state since like 1992. Democrats have had the run of everything in California for almost 30 years. So if you like what you see in California, keep voting left everywhere and we can have our entire nation be just like California.

      Politicians commit crimes every single day and have been for many decades. The taxpayers are the one's that pay the price for it.

    Just adding my two-cents. I was on a grand jury and I'd like to add a little background to clarify what a Grand Jury is.
    He's right in saying it really isn't all that grand. Basically, a grand jury decides if a prosecuting attorney's case has enough evidence/reason to go to trial. In other words, if there is cause for a trial-- it's a way of avoiding wasting the time and tax payers' money on every little case. Grand juries only consider criminal cases. And, just like any other jury, it is a jury of your peers. So anyone can be called to be on a grand jury.
    But it's not pretty because you have to spend a day once a week for 16 weeks (about 4 months), listening to whatever criminal cases have been filed. For this, one receives $5/day. IF you're lucky, you may be excused if there are no cases that week. But that's rare. I served on a county court grand jury in my rural area, yet I don't think we missed more than one week.
    Again, grand juries do NOT decide a case. They only decide IF there is enough evidence for a trial.

    It is interesting to look back at this post. Wish we had seen more of the serious charges.
