and the relevant statutes under which they are charged don't contain any of those words, even if what they did is consistent with popular (but not legal or statutory) notions of those things.

When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot.

But those quotations are best reserved for actual heroes for America who do so in the service of the country.

They sure were no "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"

So many white Americans, their hearts filled with hate caused by one person - Trump. Why are they so easily swayed by crazy lies?

Justice matters.

It's gone from insurrection, to riot, in another month it will be referred to as a "protest".

If they're POWs, they should expect to be held until there's an armistice.
