@bison78 I wonder if any GOP congresscritters led them on a recon mission earlier in the week. Oh wait, wrong group.

@bison78 Mr. Oblaski is my spirit animal.

@bison78 I'm sure they will throw the book at them....

@bison78

Moral of the story: do what the police tell you to do.

Capitol police said they had asked the group to leave the grounds earlier in the day.

@bison78 unfortunately, I glaced at Fox News in the gym a couple of times today. If you believe them, this is exactly the same as the Jan 6th insurrection.

@KngT

It's definitely not the same, but they should be appropriately punished for not following the directions of the Capitol police.

I also think that EVERY person that entered the Capitol building on Jan 6th should be prosecuted, unless they can clearly prove that the reason the entered was just to document what was happening (in a "press" capacity, even if not official).

@KngT Geez, as if I didn't hate going to a gym enough as it is, one that blares FOX - nope.
