15. I grow angrier and angrier by the day

These fucking people belong in jail. They participated in an armed insurrection. They attacked police officers and democracy itself, they tried to overthrow our government by threat, intimidation and violence. People died due to their actions, people were physically and emotionally (leading to 4 suicides) wounded.

They belong in jail for a long time. This is not justice.
