Probably, but these are people who are being charged for political "crimes" brought mostly because the government doesn't think people have a right to protest. While it's unsurprising that the citizen who discharged their weapon was tried for this, most of the other folks were just doing run-of-the-mill protest stuff.
I also get that in Texas they are fine "criminalizing" protesting, but that's just part of its hyper-authoritarian "charm", and a lot of us don't think that protesting in itself should be criminal.
