    a “lack of direct involvement” would be something like showing up to the Capitol to protest, happening to be right in the gray area between the peaceful protestors and the violent ones, and getting rounded up by the capitol police who mistook you for one of the violent ones.

    Stealing a riot shield and macing people is the textbook definition of direct involvement.
