since many of their sentences aren't significant. They seem to want to fight so badly, so maybe they could reclaim some sense of decency after what they did to the capitol and our democracy.

Or, not!

who made a career out of it. So many of them find it very hard to resist the impulse to go there, I think. God bless these guys, and all the volunteers.
