February 20 Robloxian capitol attacks

On February 20, 2021, inspired by the January 6 capitol riot in real life, About 54 citizens of Roblox, most being white supremacists and/or neo-Nazis, stormed the Robloxian Capitol during a Senate session.
The rioters managed to break in the front and entered the office hall and stormed offices, vandalizing the offices of mainly Democratic senators and representatives before heading to the House chamber, where they vandalized by damaging tables and breaking the legs off of chairs while writing on the papers "FRIEDMAN WON" in red ink.
Capitol Police who were at the capitol during the session fired at one of the rioters, Mark Sagdyiv, and was killed on scene. Sagdyiv was the only death of the riot on the day it happened.
Bloxburg police and RoCity police rushed to the scene and arrested 42 of the 54 rioters on scene. 12 of them, including both of the leaders, fled the scene before police arrived.
== Deaths ==
There were 3 deaths from the event, 1 being Mark Sagdyiv, a rioter who was seen on CCTV footage spraying swastikas in the office of Rep. Nathan Topanga, was shot by a capitol officer on his way to the House chamber. Baron Schlat, another rioter who tried to enter the Senate chamber hall but failed due to it being locked 20 minutes prior to the riot, died due to being trampled, and Mark Trayvin, a rioter who waved the Confederate flag on his way to the House chamber, was shot by a RoCity Sergeant.
During the storming, senators were evacuated from the building and were driven to Roblox HQ where Minister Daniel Thorne allowed them to hide until the riot was over. At the end of the riot, 42 were arrested. Of the total 57 who were there, then lowered to 54 due to the deaths, 42 have been arrested and charged with rioting, vandalism, and other charges.
Leaders Alex Heisenburg and Jason Wehrmint, who were the first to enter the Capitol and were also the ones who encouraged the storming, were arrested 3 days later. Wehrmint had been sentenced to 2 years in prison on March 3rd, 2021 and Heisenburg was sentenced to 8 months on March 15, 2021, and was released on November 15, 2021 and placed on watch by the Robloxian FBI and Capitol Police.
== Aftermath ==
The offices were locked down for 3 days so that construction workers in Bloxburg could remove the graffiti along with getting the office hall back in shape. On February 23rd, the offices were re-opened and the session was finished. Republicans Miko Friedman, Mark Derulo, Alan Wahlberg and Nate Meener, all condemned the events. Republicans Jamie Waiters and Alex Parkland did not release a statement condemning nor condoning the attacks to this day.
After the events, Crote Governor Vernon Newton raised the salary of Capitol Police from $27/shift to $38/shift, by $11, to encourage more people to select a career for the Capitol Police Force. Building perimeters were secured, more security was hired and during sessions all doorways into the halls are locked, along with the front doors.
By March 28, a full month plus a week after the riot, all 54 living rioters have been charged. By April 15, all of them had finished trials and were already sentenced. The longest sentence was 4 years for Jason Wehrmint, the ringleader of the attack, and the shortest being only 3 months. Over half of the rioters on that day were already released by November 19, 2021.
== Friedman's indictment ==
On May 30, 2024, over 3 years after the attack, the Department of Justice indicted Miko Friedman upon receiving new evidence. The case was approved by Crote District Court Judge Damien Mechan after prosecution cited the statute of limitations blocks indictment up to 3 and a half years later, with the case being filed around 3 months before limitation. Friedman obeyed summons, and will make his first appearance in court for arraignment on May 31, 2024, 2024 primary election night.
