INSURRECTION: RIOTERS BREAK INTO CAPITOL HILL TO STOP OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT BUSINESS

Which I'm told makes you an insurrectionist and subject to jail without bail until trial.

And also subject to the government slamming you with multiple duplicative charges and fabricated charges like "conspiracy to defraud the United States."

That's the rule now, right?

U.S. Capitol Police detained a group of peaceful protestors on Wednesday, including several people in wheelchairs, during a protest over proposed cuts to Medicaid spending on Capitol Hill.

Scripps News footage shows a crowd of people, some of them in wheelchairs, being zip-tied and escorted out of the Russell Senate Rotunda. The room is part of a Senate office building on Capitol Hill.

The protests are over proposed Medicaid cuts included in the "Big Beautiful Bill," which would remove coverage for some 10 million of the poorest Americans over the next decade as well as implement additional work requirements for those using Medicaid.

The media continues to push the idea that some people -- women, minorities, gays, transgenders, the disabled -- have special rights and privileges and are allowed to break the law, and that it's Racist to apply the law to them. Hence the special mention that some of the rioters are "in wheelchairs" -- so what if they are? What is being argued here? That if someone is in a wheelchair (and might just be posing in a wheelchair, btw) then they have a special right to riot?
