the whole purpose of this rally was to bring attention to the treatment of people who just happened to be present on Jan 6th but basically were standing around and doing nothing.
The coverage leading up to this event and today’s coverage accomplishes the getting of attention about that. Even if no one actually shows up today, the rally has already done its job.
A couple weeks ago I heard a report on possible fate of the arrested. It appears that several hundred who wandered in after the doors and windows had been broken out will get misdemeanor charges and probably serve no time. Maybe fines and community service. This if they were only walking around and looking, not disrespecting government property or personal property left behind when Congresspeople fled. They will go a lot harder on the people who actually were hitting police or using bear spray or tazers on them or actually were filmed breaking and entering or wounding the over 100 police who are still recovering from their injuries.
