Jan. 6 rioters deserve compensation

[Maximum Overkill 2,294]

A U.S. lawyer is calling on Washington to compensate people who were prosecuted for storming the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, claiming they were the victims of political persecution. 

Mark McCloskey wants the government to create a fund for the "J6ers," as they are known, and claims he met recently about this with top U.S. justice officials. 

"No time else in the history of the United States have people gone to federal prison," for what he described as "misdemeanor trespassing," he said last week during an X livestream.

The premise behind the mostly peaceful protest now appears to have been correct.  The 2020 election was stolen.
