That's too many to jail everyone, and also such an overwhelming number that perhaps there wouldn't need to be any fight, the people protecting it would more likely just walk away. Also there's no 'official proceeding' there to obstruct, it's not Federal property, etc. I'm not 'encouraging' it, nor would I be there. But if 500K other people did something like that, and it went down as I described? Let's just say I'd not be calling the attendees out for having done so
