January 12, 2021, 5:00 AM CST
Brandon Fellows had never attended a Trump rally before last week. He said he was motivated to drive to Washington after seeing a tweet from the president. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th, President Donald Trump wrote on Dec. 19. Be there, will be wild!
Fellows didnt know about a planned march that would eventually overtake the U.S. Capitol. He said he had simply come to see Trump give a speech.
But within hours of watching Trumps speech, Fellows had his feet propped up on a table in the office of a U.S. Senator, smoking a joint. He roamed the halls of the Capitol, heckled police officers and posted videos along the way on Snapchat.
I have no regrets, said Fellows, a 26-year-old former grocery store worker from upstate New York who now makes money cutting trees and repairing chimneys. I didnt hurt anyone, I didnt break anything. I did trespass though, I guess.

Let's all go to prison for very lengthy terms. You are liable for felony murder -- multiple counts -- because the crime is attached to everyone along with the underlying felonies of entering the capitol building. Throw in some drug charges, sedition, etc. The first you should be eligible for parole should not be for a very very long time.
If this a-hole sees the outside of a prison before he is 40, then the justice department has failed us.

This kids needs to read the definition of sedition over and over until he understands.
