I said earlier that I thought that that situation with the lady was the closest thing I've heard to a felony murder statute situation coming out of the riots. I think maybe you got that idea from me. I was responding to the idea that everyone in the capitol building should be charged with felony murder, which I disagree with, both as policy, and as not fitting the statute.

I'm OK with prosecutors utilizing that statute, that was passed by legislature, as long as the facts clearly fit, which I think prosecutors should be cautious about. So I'm the one being consistent.

I just want laws applied equally. There are many laws I disagree with. But you can't decide that they only count for certain races or political affiliations.
