Fuck this guy, because he probably suggested draconian penalties for his political opponents accused of similar crimes. But he is not wrong in this basic fact: regular people should not be judged harshly for mass actions they partake in. Collective punishment is bad. https://twitter.com/dmihalopoulos/status/1347373238805028865
Y'all, whatever mass punishment you suggest for this guy and other MAGA types will come back 1000 fold on left wing activists in the future.

We have seen this before, in the 1990s.
Punish the people who incited this. Punish the people who urged this on and pushed for violence. Punish the people who planned and did violence.

Don't destroy the lives of people who got caught up in this and might redeem themselves.
