I don't know why you are making such a big deal of this. That building is suppose to represent the people, and they do a terrible job at it. Approval ratings for activities in that building barely stay above single digits, so it wouldn't be outrageous if the people took that building back from the crooks that are in it, and replace them with proper representatives. Afterall it's THEIR building.
You are all just outraged, because the people gave the high and mighty politicians a scare, and so they tell you to shame the ones who did it, because they are so disconnected from the people, so unaccountable, completely out of touch with them, that it was a shock for them to be confronted. And now those crooks want to punish the people for that. Completely insane. Democrat supporters have done way worse things, way more violent protests and way uglier.
I think that people should be well behaved too, so I don't support savage behaviour. But during the protests, even when it went into the peoples house, most people were not savage, most were well behaved. Stealing, looting and such things are not in accordance with good behaviour, but to crack a door to your own house is hardly a crime. It was more of a symbolic gesture, and the whole thing was more symbolic overall if anything, and so is the response. Symbolic of how out of touch the political class is with the people, and how hard they are on them, for something they caused in the first place. The response to this is the symbol of the oligarchy punishing the people for standing up to them.
