What thee heck is a destructive device? A can of petrol? This is ludicrous, double and triple charging people.

Feed birds next to Tesla dealerships.

You know what? I know this was a joke but this is a fantastic idea. A way to protest that even the old and weak can take part in. What are you going to do, outlaw feeding birds? Good luck with that.

If the Federal government takes over prosecution the big charge is going to be that Destructive Device charge which looks to be up to 10 years. It seems unlikely the sentence imposed would be the max on every charge, media loves to report maximums as if they are automatically what always gets handed down, but that's just media being dramatic.

I'd really love media articles to actually explain sentencing in detail on articles where they just throw around numbers without explaining them.

Oh, great! Now Donald will be like, “we’ll need to look in to BU. We believe they are harboring terrorist.”

Lesson learned, I guess. If she had only set fire to the Capitol in support of an insurrection in support of the far right, she'd be up for a pardon.

The keyword here is "Alleged". As far as anyone knows, She was just falsely-flagged.
