Has Anyone Been Charged or Convicted Of Insurrection ?

[SomeJackleg]

Maybe I am stupid or the internet is blocking me, But has anyone been charged or convicted of insurrection. 

Many liberals I come across believe that all these people arrested was because of insurrection. 

Please, educate me.

i know that there have been convictions for Seditious Conspiracy for proud boys and oath keepers. but i don't recall any insurrection convictions or charges for insurrection.

many people get sedition and insurrection confussed thinking the mean the same thing. they  are related

sedition is the speech to incite rebellion / insurrection.
insurrection is the actual violent action of rebellion.

if memory serves, you can be convicted if you incite and then participate in the violence / rebellion or just be convicted for sedition for just incitement. but if you only responded to the incitement and didn't incite it that would fall under insurrection, not real sure about that because the U.S. code is kinda convoluted.

here is the code for both,

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
