Joe. Are you a muppet?
Does someone have one hand up your arse, whilst they flick your balls with the other?

You can’t compare storming a library with storming the seat of government. And the punishments will reflect this.

Remove the inserted hand for a second.
Say someone sets fire to someone’s trash-can they’ve set on the street for the dustmen to collect. Do you ...[text shortened]... bugger. Obviously, even though it is the same act, it’s a completely different set of circumstances.
So there should be NO prosecution for Columbia?

I did not say that.
But they are two different situations.

? well, yes, starting with what states they happened in, as Columbia was NY and Capitol was DC. (DC is not a state, AvJoe!). And one law-break was in a university, and the other law-break was in the Capitol.
Two separate breakings of the law, thus both requiring accountability. We agree.

So, what happens with each? Pick one to account for, but not the other. Because one was a lesser damage? Broken law nonethless?
Where are you going with this?
