Had I been in charge, this man would not have walked away, at least not as a free man. He might have been in prison; that would have been his choice, but he surely wouldn't have gotten away with this.
A helicopter gunship would have put a blast down right next to him and he would have been told to put his hands behind his head and to step away from that fucking weapon.
And every fucking man or woman in that crowd would have been tried for insurrection.... or dead.
There would have been no Malheur standoff.
There would have been no Michigan Statehouse invasion.
There would have been no January 6th.
George Washington made it clear in Pennsylvania, and everyone seems to have now forgotten it. You do not take up arms against the US fucking government.
