A group of people have been arrested by Capitol police for unauthorized entrance to a Congressional office building of the U.S. Capitol. The group were in the building after hours. Earlier in the day they attempted to enter a Capitol building but were told to leave. The individuals were arrested for illegal entry.

The individuals have been identified as associates of the Late Night with Steven Colbert television program.

Also.


Got anything other then a ****ty Twitter link? Like a real news article?
At this time, it apparently looks true, but they were not there looking for Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. And they didn't break in. It seems some congressmen let them in.

According to the link Fox determined that. You should ask Fox for that clarification. They claimed they were told that the U.S. House of Representatives officials.

They appear to have been seeking certain Republican Congressmen. Don’t the January defendants claim they were let in too?

Goes to show how easily even MAGA followers could have done the same and did on the 6th. Neat.

Let em all be prosecuted.
These invaders were released the next day. The January 6th accused are still being held without bail.

So what will they be charged with? Treason? Murder? Insurrection? :eek:

Depends on their intent upon entry. Which I am not qualified to answer upon. That's the lawyers and police's jobs. As there isn't evidence of these people chanting "hang Trump, or let murder Pelosi, or Pence" so yeah, we'll see.

Edited: they also didn't push through police barricades or assault any cops as far as I can tell.


Equal treatment under the law means the crimes should be the same, if they're to be treated the same, no?

"On June 16, 2022, at approximately 8:30 p.m., U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) received a call for a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building. Responding officers observed seven individuals, unescorted and without Congressional ID, in a sixth-floor hallway. The building was closed to visitors, and these individuals were determined to be a part of a group that had been directed by the USCP to leave the building earlier in the day," the statement says. "They were charged with Unlawful Entry. This is an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges after consultation with the U.S. Attorney."


I see nothing in here about them "seeking certain Republican Congressman"

Might as well install porta-potties and popcorn stands in the Capitol considering how often it gets invaded at this point.

American politics is a circus.

People coming into the Capitol to interview Congressmen without having the proper visitor pass is an "invasion"? Are you really trying to equate this with breaking windows, stealing property, beating police officers, and shouting for executions?

I didn't know that. Then that makes what they did ok. Those Jan 6 guys seem like some real standup individuals. If they said someone let them in, it must be true.

I think you're splitting hairs. A large angry mob of armed morons worked into a frenzy by a mendacious narcissist is just the same as a handful of journalist looking to get some photo ops. It's a classic comparison.
