Easily said - but when DO you take a stand or make your remonstrates be known?
It was their right to assemble. It was NOT the right to seed Antifa-ish demonstrators who in turn damage, maim and perhaps kill. It was NOT the right of the government to isolate individuals in a confined space and then beat them beyond their life or shoot them daid. It was NOT the right of government to "entrap" you by removing barriers to "funnel" the crowd. It was not the right of the government to tell you to "keep going - you NEED to go into the Capital."
Easy to say "they (the protesters) should have known better."
But what happens when you show up to vote and someone beats you within an inch of your life and says "You should have known better?"
And - as I say with my "Spartacus' Horse" - you are all Spartacus now. What they do to them (the 990ish) they can do to ANYONE for any reason they deem "worthy." Even the equine.
And they will if you let them.
All the J6 protests do for them in the continuation of prosecution is "remind" you what happens to you if you step out of line.
Cue Dennis' Francais - pour encourager les autres. (That is to encourage you to keep it to yourselves and "not bother" the powers that be with your petty grievances.)
This is not to say it is going to be easy going forward.

Edit: What Americans should do is
ALL claim to be a J6 Protester. After all, the rights they take from those they deem J6 are YOUR rights too. They can't arrest you all.
Not to say they won't try. They are that stupid.
