I don't know anyone who was in favor of the violent rioters not being
prosesecuted (while acknowledging that their crimes didn't warrant the death
penalty).

I do remember some people not agreeing with the death penalty part of
McVeigh's sentence, but they weren't advocating for no prosecution and/or no
punishment at all.

You may have been talking about recent times, but I'm talking about
historical trends.

Jeff.
