So strange that Law & Crime article questioning whether the Capitol rioters could be prosecuted for felony murder and it *never discusses* the most obvious predicate felony—burglary

It’s the sort of error that loses students a lot of points on their final exam!

That's going to make the "remoteness" inquiry pretty easy, not complicated as the article says.
But even here, the article's got problems.
Again, this is an issue that we teach in 1st year criminal law.

Maybe they were wrong, but this article certainly didn't make the case for it.
I'm no journalism expert, but that doesn't strike me as a helpful way to inform readers.
Why not call the people who are tweeting about things for a more thoughtful quote?

Without jumping to conclusions, this is a strange coincident. Is someone trying to kill two birds with one stone?
If you don't get caught up in the noise of the media, you'll notice a few more things. The far-right Oath Keepers has been patrolling major cities with heavy weapons for weeks. They were present in numbers at the Capitol, but without weapons.

You find photos of the arrested vandals but strangely enough not of the one 70-year-old who allegedly had a truck full of weapons. And at least I couldn't find an image of that truck. But the old man was apparently very talkative to the police.
The most questionable aspect, however, is the FBI's search for a person who was apparently caught on a surveillance camera the previous night.
At that time, it was possible to predict a mass gathering, but not the riot.
If you want to know what really went on with last week's DC Protests, look at the role of the FBI and federal informants involved in the event.

This is fundamental, especially regarding the visible presence of masked provocateurs
Watch as more information emerges.
