Why weren't these individuals rounded up and arrested? This is a very important question.

Nancy Pelosi's mail, trashed her office, then bragged about it on national television.

and wait until Biden is installed so the Trumpalump can't pardon them.

You really want these terrorists free on our streets for two more weeks? Hell, I don't want OrangeAnus in the WH for two more weeks.

can pry him out of office before the 20th I'd say go for it, totally. The last thing I want to see is these fuckers slink off into their holes and wait for another day to wreak havoc.

Or not even get arrested in the first place.

It's an incredible defense mechanism.

If this was a BLM event, they’d have the dogs on em, all kinds of pepper sprays n people in zip ties thrown into unmarked cars. This rush on our democracy is shameful n disturbing but the lack of control n arrests of these fascists is equally disturbing. One set of laws for one group of people n another set for the other. Law n order...I call BS

The most disgusting thing about all of this is how they were allowed to just hang around for HOURS. The Capitol Police may as well bought them all pizza for lunch the way they welcomed them.

to babysit and process arrestees. But they're already tracking them down, including through cyber tracking. Those fortunate enough to avoid identification at the Capitol would have done better not to wander around under DC cameras with friends for some hours after.

Even though the defenses didn't go as they should have, the authorities did succeed in a very important goal: to deny the insurrectionists their goal of appearing to the nation as heroic freedom fighters fighting to take America back from those who stole it. The authorities foresaw that, especially after the ostentatiously authoritarian actions of the Trump admin against peaceful BLM protestors last June, and refused to provide a "Tiananmen" effect of militarizing against the very heavily trumpist crowds, notably given the 70M suspicious Americans who had just voted for him.

I keep thinking of what the world saw, beyond the "disgrace" and police failure to hold the line at street level. I keep imagining peoples in authoritarian nations watching in bewilderment when armed forces don't clean these insurrectionists off Capitol steps covered with blood. No tank standoff either, no sinister helicopters and flyovers (specifically forbidden), no snipers taking people out.

Just letting an estimated 3000 insurrectionist hoodlums initially walk away doesn't look right to any of us, of course, but think what underlies it -- beyond the incompetent police reactions. About the relation of citizens to government of, by and for the people. That's a huge takeaway, one that blows the message even these insurrectionists believed themselves.

Most of these idiots believed the lies of their president and came to fight heroically to save him, but they weren't punished with death for their inexcusable stupidity. Prosecution's a different matter.

America -prove me wrong

every local police force in the country.
