"When the government comes down on you, it can destroy your life.” I’d conservatively estimate 5,000 Baltimore residents could say that exact phrase and their story is much more compelling than someone who invaded the Capitol trying to overthrow a free and fair election.

No mention of Korryn Gaines in this story but he’s been absolutely horrific in denying her family any semblance of justice in that case.
