Should the suspect be charged with attempted murder or is it ok because it wasn’t a Trumper?

If the evidence indicates that, I would sure hope so. I would think firing a gun through the windshield of a National Guard vehicle might well be attempted murder.

Good. Should Ted Cruz make statements during the trial or the Proud Boys riot all summer about this or the DC officer not being charged in the Babbit case?

I don’t think so.

Proud Boys already did their riot. I expect some might go to jail. As have arrested rioters in other cities.

Just let Google be your friend and you can hear all about it.

Just did a quick search for “CNN Maxine Waters”. One opinion piece properly criticized her. The other stories mentioned her comments but then quickly spun it to how she really wasn’t calling for violence and anyone with half a brain knows it. It’s only the Republicans saying that. And, oh aren’t they hypocrites because of Trump and his rhetoric.

Agree, should those who attempted to storm the WH and burned a Church last summer be tried for Sedition as well?

Property damage sure, but I don’t think the crime quite matches the elements of sedition.

Attempting to storm the WH to intimate a President and Congress?
