I am a former high school and college debater and judge debate while in law school. This scolding from this judge amused me

A 20-year-old Capitol-storming honor student and recent high school graduate was scolded during her sentencing hearing on Wednesday for not using the "reason and common sense" she presumably acquired during her time on her high school debate team.

As reported by CBS News' Scott MacFarlane, Judge Beryl Howell noted that Jan. 6 defendant Kayli Munn was not only an honor student, but also a talented member of her schools speech and debate club.

Howell, before sentencing Munn to three months probation, remarked that the defendant's skill as a debater showed she could "use reason and common sense" that she apparently lacked when she went with her family into the Capitol after it had been breached by rioters.

It is sad that a debater is a TFG supporter.

1. And thinking threat of violence

was logical rhetoric.

2. The Capitol was breached by insurrectionists, not rioters.

A riot is a spontaneous event. An insurrection is planned, advertised, organized, funded, and executed.

3. Excellent point......

that needs to be expressed by the MEDIA!!!!!!!

IT WAS AN INSURRECTION!!!!!!

4. :) One would wish. If only reasoning, common sense and honesty

were required to graduate high school.

5. Perhaps she was a master debater.

Common confusion of terms.
