A man charged in assisting the chemical spraying of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick on Jan. 6 had been ordered released from jail pending trial, with a trio of appeals court judges ruling the district court "clearly erred" in keeping him jailed.

I recently read that there is a six month cap on how long anyone can be detained without trial unless charged with something more serious than a misdemeanor. It has been well over six months so we should be seeing more of these folks being released.
I hope there is a class action lawsuit in the works on behalf of these folks asking for billions in restitution.
All of these people are political prisoners.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
I would argue that the appropriate response against those government officials merits much more than placing the bill at our feet.
You are making an unwarranted distinction. They are the same, regardless left/right spectrum, and merit an appropriate response.
A Trump supporter brought mace to spray the cops with?
Never mind. Finally read the article.
