I want Trump stopped because I see him as a threat to law and justice based on his repeated attempts to use the powers of the presidency to stifle his political opponents and even overturn an election.

1. "The police let me in" does not excuse anyone for crimes committed while inside.
   
2. The insurrectionists were verbally threatening Pence and Pelosi and others.
   
3. "These people will follow through on their angry threats" is not conjecture.  It's common sense.
   
4. Just making sure you understand the time and place are important.  Don't try to compare this to a protest at a different place at a different time.
   
5. If even one of the people present was an insurrectionist, the event is an insurrection, and anyone else present who did not try to hinder that insurrectionist should be suspected of insurrection as well.  Punishment usually depends on level of cooperation with prosecutors.
   
6. Name these Democrats who broke the law during protests and ended up winning office afterwards.  I would love to know.
