So, you think anyone should be allowed to attack Congress because they do not like what Congress is doing? One could argue that those breaking and entering Congress were engaged in an act of insurrection and could expect force to be used in response.

No one was “attacking” Congress. They briefly trespassed there, unfortunately a small number shoved a few cops who were shoving them, they took a bunch of selfies, left a note for Nancy Pelosi, milled around for bit and left, in order words they did nothing even vaguely as bad as a year full of antifa/BLM tossing fireworks, frozen bottles, and Molotov cocktails at cops, looting and burning down businesses, destroying historical artifacts, terrorizing motorists, murdering several people and assaulting hundreds—all of which was deemed “peaceful protesting” and not at all worthy of deadly force.

But congratulations on providing genuinely entertaining straw man arguments. Maybe I can play your straw man game by asking you why you want anyone who protests the government murdered as insurrectionists? You see how that works?

I do not believe that illegal trespass is a death penalty office, however you want to explain away the murder.
