Do you think they're going to get the "white person treatment" or do you think they're actually going to be charged with treason/sedition/etc?

    They're gonna get off but we're gonna build apparatuses to punish them. They'll get very little time, because it'll anger everybody and that'll make us decide we need laws against it. Then those laws will be used to punish leftist movements.

    It will definitely be some trespassing/vandalism or other slap on the wrist shit.

    I could see them making examples out of a few of them but outside of that, it's going to be like a write up to the principals or a fine

    yeah they're going with absurdly lenient charges for the ones I've seen charged so far. "entering a building without permission" and shit like that

    Initial charges have been pretty garden variety, basically "trespassing on fed property". New US attorney will determine if they go harder on filing additional charges. Probably easy enough to generate conspiracy charges given how loud these people are online, and I'm sure their phone records will be a nightmare for them.
