There is an old Chinese proverb about a General who is marching his army to meet up with the rest of the armies of the empire. They get bogged down in muddy conditions and start running late. The General asks his lieutenant "What is the penalty for being late?", and he answers "Death." The General then asks "What is the penalty for rebellion?", and the lieutenant answers "Death" again. Finally, the General says "Rebellion it is then!"
I hope everyone is paying attention to these show trials and realizes that there can be no half-measures with these people. If you are in for a penny, you are in for a pound.
Cynic that I am, I don't think very many. Hoping I am wrong, but let's not forget how many people have tried to move on and pretend the COVID lockdowns, and all the shenanigans within never happened. Look at all the documentaries or news reports where someone gets attacked by an animal or a black/ immigrant/ black immigrant and the response is always the same "I don't wish any harm, he was a good boy, he didn't do nothing."
Also, the story above has something we do not. Leadership, and a rival military elite. We don't have a Napoleon/ Caesar/ king/ strong man, at least not yet.

That was my take away as well. I wonder how many of those defendents regret not bringing weapons and taking some scalps in hindsight.
