Right. Mob violence is illegal and should be prosecuted. As your video 
promised, those perps will be prosecuted.

I just hope the perps are dealt with properly - as opposed to the perps 
who attacked the U.S. Capitol intent on disrupting critical 
congressional procedures, who assaulted police, damaged our most sacred 
public property, horrified all conscientious observers worldwide, but 
who were pardoned by the guy responsible for generating it all.
