Look at all those good people who thought that protesting in America was an accepted thing.

The leftists OCCUPIED the Wisconsin state capitol building — and none of them were hunted down in this manner.

"The leftists OCCUPIED the Wisconsin state capitol building — and none of them were hunted down in this manner."

I recall that police were ordered to stand down, the occupiers were there for a couple of weeks, and that Pelosi or some other prominent Democrat approvingly called it "democracy in action." I don't know if any of the organizers or participants were ever charged with anything.

That Capitol was open to the public at the time. No windows/doors were broken in order to gain entry. No cops were beaten. The protestors were not technically trespassing at any point. Much different than January 6th, IMHO.
