I guess but you know for sure the Boston Tea Party would have livestreamed.
All this wordplay is their pun-ishment.
As the rioters are learning, that’s how you wind up in hot water.
“So like there’s the fucking HARBOR behind me, and we like TRASHED all the tea, and we’re like dressed up as fucking Red Indians LOL! 
”
Absolutley understood. And as I posted earlier, I’m hopeful that the more little idjits they catch and convict, the greater the chance of getting evidence about the real villains in the mob. Who’s the one with the handcuff zipties, for instance? Were there identifiable ones who had guns, ready to use? Who was pounding on the door of the House Chamber, clearly interfering with the vote count and threatening the life and safety of the Representatives? The videos are of great help there, but evidence from real live witnesses is essential.
Once it sinks into Florida Man and Desk Man that they may be looking at some federal time, they may start to talk to the FBI and US Attorneys who are investigating. That’s a standard tactic with investigating and prosecuting organised crime and it may work here as well.
In the meantime, no harm in pointing and laughing at the first level of idjits, until the more serious criminals start to be identified.
Not so either, their disguises were not expertly done, they were mostly symbolic as to say that they were now American as the natives and F*** the empire. They also did want to remain as anonymous as possible.
For fear of punishment, many participants of the Boston Tea Party remained anonymous for many years after the event. To date it is known that 116 people are documented to have participated. Not all of the participants of the Boston Tea Party are known; many carried the secret of their participation to their graves.
Nope. Washington was a soldier from an early age, and a good one. One of the basic principles of being a soldier is “Never give intel to the enemy.”
“We are SO owning the jibs!”
Here’s an entry from one of my favorite bloggers on point:
Yeah but they didn’t all dress up. Come on, are we really saying there were no yahoos in group?
From that blog:
Motivation is hard to prove in court. In their minds, firm in their belief of the facts as they have been old them, they were trying to SAVE American democracy from being stolen by a fixed election. I believe they really believed that. That being their stated PURPOSE does not diminish what they actually DID: insurrection.
“Sure, we told all of our friends that we were going to try to implicate the Indians, but it was totally the fault of the Indians!”
Seems that that was the case, even Francis Akeley was disguised as a “Mohawk” Indian during the tea party, and he was known as the only man imprisoned for event. He was eventually released and died of wounds received at the battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolution.
Here’s an example of what I mean:
So who’s the obvious person to answer that question? Desk Man. You can bet he’s not going to just get a little fine and plead out for trespassing.
He’s going to get interrogated, probably repeatedly, by the FBI, who will ask:
“How did you, a low-life schlub from the country, get to the Speaker’s office so quickly? Who told you were it was? How did they tell you? Give us names and communications methods, right now. And by the way, here’s the list of potential federal crimes you can be charged with, and the cumulative years in federal pen that you’re looking at.”
A lot of taped local police interrogations are made public (after trial, I assume) but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one by the FBI. I’d love to see how these really go down.
Fantastic, thank you very much 
Raising the eternal question:
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
No one’s answered the important question: what is up with that hat?
Didn’t Trump sign an Executive Order that allowed ten years in prison for damaging a federal monument? Would not the Capitol building be considered a federal monument?
I would find it poetic justice if the insurrectionists got another ten years in prison due to a Trump EO.
