Capitol Protesters Languishing in Jail

536 individuals have been arrested and charged with crimes related to the January 6th protest at the United States Capitol

But none have yet been charged with “treason” or “sedition,” despite leftists’ claims that the Capitol protests were an armed “insurrection” against the United States government. Some are in solitary confinement...and even Elizabeth Warren said this was cruel and  psychologically damaging.

In fact, no guns were found at all. The only gun that was used was by a Capitol Policeman who killed Ashli Babbitt. Sears and Kmart, both owned by TransformCo, pulled a shirt from their websites that called Capitol protester Ashli Babbitt an “American Patriot.”

"The Trump administration leveled charges of  'assaulting federal officers, civil disorder, and failing to obey' against rioters who took to the streets of Portland, Oregon, last summer. The Biden administration has disposed of most of those cases; nearly half of those charges were dropped, per The Wall Street Journal, likely providing a standard for prosecutors."

They had weapons: the "alleged" "rioters" show that they did come armed and with a variety of weapons: stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs. No guns that fired bullets.
I discount PolitiFact, a left-wing biased site.
I also question the murder of Ashli Babbitt who was not armed.

"The Justice Department on Thursday charged a US Capitol rioter with bringing a handgun onto Capitol grounds -- two days after a hearing where Republican lawmakers downplayed the deadly attack and claimed the pro-Trump rioters were unarmed.

The new charge was filed against Guy Reffitt, a Texan whose case received national attention after his own family members told the FBI that he threatened to kill them if they turned him in."

Oh, thanks. "Alleged" that he transported a rifle and a semi-automatic handgun to D.C. and that he carried the semi-automatic handgun while on U.S. Capitol grounds January 6.
so, how many alleged people with guns did you come up with?

"In fact, no guns were found at all."

There were people found with guns and they were charged. You're not charged with carrying a gun unless you have one on your person.

I'll say it again, there were guns.

There were more and you will dispute each one for any reason. But that doesn't mean there weren't guns.

There were.

How many guns were there out of the thousands at the Capitol? "There has been at least one instance of someone arrested with a firearm in the Capitol," Wray said, likely referring to a separate case of a rioter found with a handgun, "and there have been a number of arrests of individuals either en route to the Capitol or near the Capitol for the siege.
Reffitt never entered the Capitol.
