You don't have a 1st amendment right to illegally trespass. The storming of the capital was an illegal, non-violent political statement. These people went in thinking that they would get away with an illegal act through sheer numbers. They should have gone in expecting to be arrested for their political statement.
The capital is our building. It is the place of democracy. If there is a proper place to protest, that is the place. And we went through months where stores were being burned to the ground and the mainstream + politicians applauding it as stunning and brave. Fuck that shit, making your voice heard in the temple of Democracy is sanctifying it. Burning down a 7/11 and pillaging the Best Buy is not. We started this country dressing up like natives and throwing a bunch of tea into Boston harbor.
