Guess what Bob? I retired six years ago. I am expressing my own opinions, just like the rest of you. And I have the right to do that.
Yes, they were terrorists', intent on terrorizing Congress (and worse) to stop the process in certifying the last presidential election. To overturn it and illegally install what would be a dictator (look up the definition) who was not elected by a majority of the people or the Electoral College. Yes, it was Orwellian.
Despite all the "Stop the Steal" rhetoric, the election wasn't stolen. in the four months since Jan 6, there has be NO EVIDENCE of the election being stolen. Only hyperbole by sycophants who don't like how the election turned out and want to overturn it by any means possible.
I know that if those insurrectionists had been BLM, your side would be calling for the their heads (as rightly you should be). But because it the MAGA crowd, storming the Capitol to interfere with a Constitutional duties rates an "oh hum" from your side.
Body camera footage from D.C. police Officer Michael Fanone shows him screaming in agony after a pro-Trump mob dragged him down the U.S. Capitol steps, beat him and Tasered him.
Active Duty Marine Corps Major arrested in Jan. 6 Capitol Insurrection
The Justice Department said in a statement that Maj. Christopher Warnagiris, 40, “violently entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, after pushing through a line of police officers guarding the East Rotunda doors.”
He then allegedly used his body to prop a door open to allow more people to rush into the Capitol.
“When a U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) officer tried to pull the doors shut, Warnagiris refused and continued pushing it open. Warnagiris can be seen pushing the officer in an effort to maintain his position in the open door in security camera footage and publicly available video footage,” the Justice Department said.

Many of the domestic bombers of the 60's and 70's were later pardoned or let out after a big reduction in sentences. One even works for a BLM organization now.
Will these "Trump Boys" serve longer sentences? Remember both President Biden and Kamala Harris have a long record of putting non-violent criminals behind bars for decades. Plus you have to figure the new AG Garland has a grudge against Republicans for keeping him off the Supreme Court.
