Said it before but now that it's Jan 6 I'll say it again: The violent attack at the Capitol was done by rich people, the modern landed gentry, the people who could afford to travel and book fancy hotels to plot a violent attack. It wasn't hicks. It was rich people doing crime. - ThreadSky

Which is why so many were surprised when they got arrested. It was just a lark for them.

Too used to the local sheriff and the deputies turning a blind eye to their antics

Look at them; small business owners, local level politicians, cops (current and former), very minor celebrities, the idle rich. Just overly entitled low lives angry that they weren’t getting their way. At its core Jan 6th was a temper tantrum of rich white supremest privilege.

As we've seen since 2008, rich people face basically zero consequences because they control the chambers of commerce and local businesses and all of that stuff. They're the "small business owners" and "job creators" those in power bow to.

I honestly try as best I can to stop looking at things as black and white, but if it was a group of rich BLACK men they wouldn't be commuted or pardoned.

so WHITE plays a much larger role here.
