I say pepper spray them. If that doesn’t work, move to rubber bullets. From there, use real bullets, just like they did with the peaceful protestors this summer.
Lock up as many as you have room for. Hell, put them in the cages that are already in place.
Then lock up Trump, Hawley, Cruse, Gohmert, and any of the others who have been instigating.
I would say use whatever force is legally permissable to immobilise them.
Teargas, tranquillisers. Perhaps a knee in the nuts.
Then, arrest them.
With watertight warrants.
No silly spelling - slipshod - mistakes (especially, re names), stupid errors of syntax, fatuous grammar, above all, no idiotic errors of law. Watertight warrants.
Then, gather your - irrefutable, and ensure that it is irrefutable - evidence and charge them, and convict them, all in accordance with the rule of law, because that is what this is all about:
Does a frenzied and frothing mob rule, - a mob motivated by fear and hatred - and is answerable to those who can direct and motivate armed thugs, those who support the idea of a megalomaniac kleptomaniac thuggocracy rule, those who can project power when power is defined as a closed fist or a wielded weapon?
Or do those who won an election freely and fairly and legally, who admit to an admiration for the rule of law, who accept that they are accountable and answerable to the concept of the rule of law, do they get to form the government when the counted, enumerated, tallied and recorded ballots have awarded them this legitimate mandate?
You must adhere to the principles you say you stand for: Not only because it is the right thing to do (the old we go high when they go low), but also because, you believe that certain things ought to be governed by a code of conduct, of principles expressed in laws, laws which are above the mere exercise of power, and which govern, constrain, limit, and enable, the exercise of that lawful, legitimate, power.
Because, when you govern by the rule of law, you govern in the name of the common good, of the public good (not the private good) of all.
If you don't do so, it becomes a world where the biggest bully, and the thugs armed best win, - a world where the strong bully (the verb, not noun) the less strong, merely because they can - a pure power play where power projection is defined in terms of force, coercion, and compelled compliance, a binary world of "winners" and "losers".
However, if the latter, then, they also must abide by - and be seen to abide by - the rule of law, even against the thugs; and, thus, you deal with the thugs with the courtesy (but also the sting) of the rule of law. Because, nobody should be above the rule of law.
