They were not condemned.. Jerry Nadler said that they were a "myth". Biden said that Antifa was an "idea". Sen Hirono from Hawaii and all of the other democratic senators sitting on Senate Judiciary committee had opportunity to do this, Cruz asked them during a committee hearing and none of them would condemn the violence. None.. The protests in 2018 attacked the business is democracy when they attempted to halt the confirmation of a US Supreme Court Justice.. no outrage from media.. Again, outrage, no outrage.. pick one, but be consistent. Harris and other prominent democratic lawmakers sent money to an organization that bailed out those arrested as part of the riots..

How would you feel if Trump, Pence, Cruz, or others sent money to bail out protesters arrested yesterday?

Trump offered to pay the legal fees of those who roughed up protesters a LONG time ago. Y’all have become everything you rail against.

Seem to remember something about a federal court house. But you just keep living in alternate reality with your unicorns.

One of the Capitol Police has died from injuries sustained in the seditious riot yesterday.

The distinction I was drawing was not based on government property, but the democratic function that was being performed at the capitol. One was an attempted coup. The other wasn’t.

Blue lives matter. Said it before and will say it again.

Do they matter to you now, as well?

Treason is one of the few crimes actually mentioned in the constitution. It is an important distinction.

Please tell me you didn't really attend Tech.

If occupying the Capitol is treason, so it occupying a FEDERAL court house. One is no more treasonous than the other.

You are truly clueless.

You condone violence, if it's YOUR peeps doing the violence.

I didn’t say occupying the capitol was treason. Time and intent matter. Mens rea...you know?

Hmmm, let me try to remember.

Intent - to attack and take over a designated area of the United States and declare it a sovereign nation not subject to the laws and regulations of the collective governments of the nation. Not only Treason, but an act of war as well.

And any FEDERAL court house is part of the Judiciary branch of Government, so they also attacked the government directly.

Wonder what these rioters were thinking when they thought they could get away with what they were doing (which I do not and did not condone)?????

Don't forget those crazy kids that was part of the summer of love in Seattle that took over a designated area of the US and declared it a sovereign nation?

Here are the relevant federal statutes:

Better to start with the actual law rather than making one up off the top of your head.
