Over the past five years, Robyn Sweet became more concerned as her father became immersed in far-right conspiracy theories. Then she saw the picture of him in handcuffs inside the US Capitol building on 6 January.
Douglas Sweet declined to be interviewed by the BBC.
He is one of hundreds of pro-Trump protesters who stormed the US Capitol four months ago. We look at how many people have been arrested, and ask what punishment they might face.

I cannot remember a lot of time in my life where I was not pissed at our government. But in my case I always worked within the system to change it. These insurrectionist today are trying to overthrow a government that provided their freedom to protest. They are caught up in their own opinions based on fake news generated by a media for profit that generated these bogus news why; increase their bottom line profits. In other words fake news and lies, sell. Just ask Trump. Trump accumulated $250,000,000 just by selling the lie the 2020 election was stolen.
