Someone please make this make sense. On January 6th, 2021, thousands of people came to the Capitol. Many pushed past barricades, went up the Capitol steps to commit acts of violence and property damage. Yet roughly only 1500 people were ultimately charged in connection with January 6th. Was present on that day. Present on those steps. I mean, yesterday, an active duty Air Force Major stood peacefully on the Capitol steps holding a sign and was arrested almost immediately. So here's my question. If someone can be arrested simply for being on those steps during a protest, why wasn't every person who unlawfully entered or remained on those same Capitol steps on January 6th arrested as well? I'm not asking for partisan answers here. I'm asking for consistency for everybody. If the standard is that protesting on restricted Capitol grounds results in arrest, then why does it enforced so differently in these two situations? Explain it to me like I'm five, please.
