If someone breaks the law, bringing a weapon to the Capitol, they should be so charged. If you warned those coming to last Saturday's protest that you would come down on them hard if they violated Washington's gun laws, you should not be lax on this.
It will not go unnoticed that the man escaping charges is a federal officer, employed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. We should expect integrity of our federal officers. We should expect them to obey the law. If they cannot keep the law themselves, why do we have them arresting others? There is an element of hypocrisy. Nor does it go unnoticed that you are excusing one of your own. That he is one of your officers should not excuse him from the law. He should not have special exemption and preferential treatment.
