Consider what the punishment for anyone would be if they dragged a cop into a mob in a riot.

Just because you agreed with the rioters doesn’t make that a “not so bad” crime.

Yeah, I understand how this doesn’t square with the BLM riots. But, it doesn’t lessen the crime.

You play silly games…,

To be sure there are some who deserve to be thrown in jail and this guy sounds like one of them. Yeah I know a lot got unjust sentences but that shouldn’t leave this fool off the hook

"Consider what the punishment for anyone would be if they dragged a cop into a mob in a riot."

I'd like a little more information about what it actually means that he "dragged a cop into a mob." Given the fake accounts (e.g., "five police murdered") of what happened that day, I'm not willing to uncritically accept that description of what happened. "Fought with police" makes sense, but "dragged him into a mob"?

Agree - there is a HUGE difference between being in the capital and snapping some phots to assault and battery on a LEO.

I believe that if this occurred at a BLM or ANTIFA riot, no charges would be filed at all. In fact, this may very well have already happened at one of these riots.

Disagree. We have been shown apt evidence that it's not treated as a crime when other people do it.

The constitution requires equal application of the law, and this is clearly not an equal application of the law.
