Jacob Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison for simply entering and walking through the Capitol while being escorted by Capitol Police.  He was indicted on 6 charges 2 of which were felony charges.  From what we have all seen, did he do worse than what Ray Epps did that day?

What about the ONLY fatality that day, that being an unarmed woman shot almost point blank by Capitol Police?  As a former law enforcement officer myself, I don't see how that shooting was justified.  She posed no real threat and her actions could have been stopped in a non-lethal way.  The officer has never been investigated nor his identity ever made public.

If you can't see where "something doesn't seem right" here, then I don't know what to say.

Something is definitely NOT right here. 

A bunch of [BLEEP] morons trespassed the capitol bldg after beating and bludgeoning police officers and spraying them with bear spray. 

That was definitely NOT right. 

The cop who shot that poor woman was the last line of defense between an angry mob of lunatics and lawmakers. 
This rabble were chanting that they were going to hang Mike Pence and included at least three different militia groups present exchanging plans on openly monitored channels that they were going to kidnap lawmakers that day. 

You can keep burying your head in the sand and calling these idiots "tourists" or whatever - but many were not that at all. The evidence is plain - and that poor woman got EXACTLY what was coming to her for thinking she could interfere with the certification of a fairly accounted election. 

That cop did his job by protecting OUR elected officials from a violent rabble of rioters and domestic terrorists. 

They let them advance as far they could without lethal force until there was only one line left to breach. 
And they had no choice but to do this because of the sheer numbers of rioters vs officers. 

Also - tons of misdemeanors without felonies were charged after that day. 
I'm surprised they bothered with Epps at all, I only posted it because of all of the idiotic conspiracies ppl tried to cook up around that clown in this forum. You have to look at each case individually.

I think the thing most "not right" here is your complete blindness to the reality of what happened.
