They quite clearly told the world what the other way was on January 6th, 2021.
But instead of learning from history, and taking care of the problem with harsh sentences representative of the crime that was committed, we went ahead and put on the fluffy kid gloves.
And nobody cares about the grumbling in the background about bullshit sentences. They'll use the same tired excuse of "we don't want to appear biased" or "we don't want to start more violence"
And the mere fact that they're too scared to punish people over fear of retribution just goes to show that domestic terrorism works! Yay! Something something we live in a society I guess.
We never really learn from history, do we? People think we do and then are surprised when the same thing happens again.
They go low, we go high.
The moral high road is filled with corpses.
