I'm willing to believe that many of the rioters were otherwise decent people.

But they became unglued. Not sure why they would follow a man like Trump. His schtick just doesn't do anything for me, so I can't figure why he appeals to anyone. He sorta embodies everything I dislike in the American character with none of the redeeming features.

Anyway, the rioters have to take responsibility for their actions. You can't defend beating up police people by saying you are nice to your friends. You are being charged for beating up police people. And for that, you serve time. I hope the decent ones recover their brains and get out quickly.

‘Assault on This Nation’: Judge Tells Off Rioter Accused of Attacking Capitol Officer Brian Sicknick

A federal judge on Monday blasted the West Virginia man accused of attacking Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick with bear spray during the Jan. 6 siege, calling his actions “an assault on our nation.”

“I’m very aware that my rulings affect the person in front of me and everyone who loves them,” Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi said as he ordered George Tanios to be detained pending trial. “It is hard for me to look at this as anything other than an assault on this nation’s heart.”

“My obligation is to the safety of our community, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything play out in a way that was more dangerous to our community and I have no question that, in your own way, Mr. Tanios, you chose to be part of that,” the judge added.

The ruling came after over half a dozen witnesses called by Tanios’ defense team, including several of his former employees, friends, and family members, all insisted he is a non-violent person who loves his family and is kind to his workers.
