The Partisan Divide on Issues

[pbrower2a]

The judicial process is moving against those who had even slight roles in the Capitol Putsch. People are convicted of entering a restricted area and remaining in it but have done nothing else wrong are getting light sentences. The warning from the legal system is clear: just don't do this sort of thing.

Some people were confused and simply followed the crowd. My suspicion is that most of the technical offenders will get light sentences, which is fair, but necessary.

That dates me. I visited the Capitol once with my parents and twice with a high-school band on the way to a band contest.
