There's literally zero reason to reserve judgment in this case. Read my reply to another person on this thread, she is a textbook domestic terrorist (along with everyone else present at the Capitol at that time).

People like you need to stop downplaying the severity of what happened and what it means for our democracy.

I’m not downplaying. She allegedly assaulted a cop and I take that seriously. But as a matter of law and rights she has the presumption of innocence until this is proven, and I need proof it was willful, and not retaliatory for something police instigated, for example. There’s good circumstantial evidence this is unlikely, but it still fella gross and unAmerican to me to drag her through the dirt online and cheer her losing her job and “other” her before her case is heard. However, I do support her arrest because it seems to have merit.

Abd I am fairly consistent in this philosophy regardless of the accused. Amber Heard is an abusive piece if crap, but I don’t support removing her from Aquaman as retribution, for example.

And “domestic terrorist” is a very serious accusation, One which I refuse to use lightly. As yet I haven’t seen evidence of terrorism. No, being present at the Capitol is not enough.,

Yes, it was given the context. She was there unlawfully, everyone there was told it was unlawful, everyone was told to leave and didn't. Stop downplaying and defending domestic terrorists.

Done responding to you, you're obviously commenting in bad faith.

So trespassing is terrorism?

When will we see prosecution of the punks setting off explosives and blinding police night after night at the federal building in Portland? THAT was domestic terrorism.
