    it seems like what they are saying is that you have to prove they intended harm on those conducting official proceedings.

    Uh huh.

    So I guess breaking into Congress when it was closed to the public because of COVID, on the day Congress was meeting to certify the winner of an election Trump and his supporters refused to acknowledge he lost, bringing zip tie handcuffs, building a fucking gallows out front, chanting “Hang Mike Pence!”, having guns on the Capitol grounds and stashed around DC, and literally beating the officers who were there to protect Congress, doesn’t mean Trump supporters were there with “intention to harm?”

    Yep, sounds exactly the same as being angry about America’s still-extant racism which allows Black men to be murdered by cops to me!

        Quick question there, sparky:

        How many people charged for their actions on Jan 6 never entered the Capitol?

        Because the only way the logic you’re defending holds up, is if that was the case.

            The only point you seem to make is plugging your ears and talking over and around the actually contextual replies that repeatedly negate your word salad.

            Knock it off.

            Bro.

        Many times it was found that those people breaking shop windows during BLM protests were actually right-wing agitators.
