There needs to be a whole lot of 10+ year sentences handed out. Obviously anyone directly involved in the officer's death will have the book thrown at them and probably never see the outside of a cell again, but all these people need to be made an example of.

> treatment of BLM protestors How many BLM protestors were shot and killed by police? I’m genuinely curious, as I’m not aware of any.
I'm going to assume your question is in good faith, and try to provide a factual set of people who died (that I'm aware of). * Sarah Grossman was pepper-sprayed at a demonstration and later died in the hospital from acute respiratory issues. * David McAtee was fatally shot by police at a protest : https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/01/us/louisville-protests-man-sh... * Sean Monterossa was killed while kneeling with hands ra…
Cool, hopefully it is loaded with damaging emails. She needs to go. I bet if it is there's loads of discussion denigrating the American people and planning to sacrifice their lives and their finances pointlessly during the pandemic. Obviously, the coupists believe even worse things, but what do I care if my political opponents destroy each other?
Even if such e-mails existed, by stealing the laptop they've tainted it as evidence except against themselves. i.e., You and the thief are similarly short sighted.
EDIT: My previous response, I misread your meaning at first.
I don't care if they get prosecuted. They should be, they attempted a coup against the democracy. However, as I said, what do I care if they destroy each other? Pelosi is a villain that promotes the desires of the rich over the lives of the people numbering in the hundreds of thousands at this point. Being attacked by someone worse doesn't make her into someone that needs defending.
How was every person leaving the building not searched by police as a condition of exit? The kettling and taking of details of (even peaceful) protesters in the UK is pretty standard now (I don't like it, but it is what seems to happen) - so why did they just let these people leave unchecked?
The same reason they weren't searched on the way in. It was a security failure.
I feel sorry for whoever gets caught with it. They won't be charged with theft - they'll probably try to hit them with the worst cybersecurity charges they can dig up.
I assume the downvotes means my intended sarcasm didn't come through. To be clear, I hope everyone involved in the terroristic insurrection is prosecuted fully. We know that the government typically uses cybersecurity charges to attack cyber-libertarians, threatening decades of prison time (think Aaron Swartz) - I hope they show the same vigor here.
Also, cyber-libertarians shouldn't get a pass.

Maybe stealing it also removed a bunch of foreign operative bugs and keyloggers :) "How can we remove this compromised system from the building without letting on that we know " "just have a 'theft' remove it!"
Didn't one of the insurrectionists arrested require a Russian translator at his booking?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
American history[1] shows this probably isn't a requirement - beyond a foreign military attacking, which is clearly out of scope of policing, the other attacks were acts carried out by isolated people. "Storming the gates" hasn't happened before now. I suspect the main reason that this hasn't happened before is that very large protests/gatherings are often met with a large show of police force to ensure the protestor…
They’re often not met with a show of police force. Here’s a picture of the Million Man March in the 1990s: https://images.app.goo.gl/WSvMYDK4asyav5HX7 There are hundreds of thousands of people behind the camera, going all the way to the Lincoln Memorial. You can see some security milling around, but no large show of police force.

Have a shit battery + full disk encryption + linux with broken hibernate support :D
Did Linux ever fix the hibernate stuff? I remember 5 years ago, it was a MUST to disable it, because the system would go to hibernate and never wake up again without a hard restart.
Clearly a big deal and congressional IT staff are going to have a crazy few weeks ahead of them. However, my understanding is that any classified information would have to be in a SCIF. I assume that would be the case with congresspeople as well. I've also heard that the congressional paging system locks devices when an emergency is announced, but haven't seen that corroborated anywhere. Anyone know if that's true?

Imagine something like 'The Thing' but with ~75 years of technological advancement.
The Capitol is going to need to be cleaned for such devices and equipment for a long time before it can be considered secure again.
On the flip side, any devices that may be found are likely to be close to the latest models, and like with project SATYR, the US may have a potential goldmine of new tech in the coming years.
EDIT: Combined with the recent hacking of the US, the synergy of having physical access creates a load of headaches and nightmares. If I were in the federal information security space I would be very interested in visa and flight logs in and out of the US right now.
