OK, good point budha. So how do you explain  

"throwing people in prison for one year with no charges awaiting their fate.

'Do you really think incarceration is appropriate for this instance?"

My, my! How you do "exagerate"! One can not be held without charges:

As a general rule: If you're placed in custody, your "speedy trial" rights typically require the prosecutor to decide charges within 72 hours.

And now for the truly nasty part: if you are charged you may be released on bail. Otherwise, you are jailed until your trial. Somethimes that takes months, years. Hard cheese, ain't it? 

Yes, I do believe a violent attack on the Capitol, Congress and the election process is a serious charge.

False equivalencies.
