You still think walking around the building and delaying a voter certification is worse than 25 murders and $500m of damage.
Both were against the government directly or indirectly.
Let’s be clear, I am not absolving Jan 6 protestors. Anyone who broke in deserves jail time.
I just can’t believe any sane person doesn’t see 25 murders and half a billion of damage as worse.
23 protesters were killed i dont think they were murdered, i think most were deemed justified just to be factually correct. I can understand the motivation behind the protests against police brutality not necessarily george floyd but a culmination of years of harassment by police. As far as Jan 6, you can color it as walking around a building if you want, plenty of video has been showed on here of both people walking around and also people breaking down doors and assaulting police. All because you are mad your candidate didnt win. The same people this year when their candidate won accepted the results in 10 minutes. Protests have often been a catalyst for change and aren't always pretty. So while the violence and destruction I certainly condemn and many many people were arrested and charged. The two murders that i found that were committed during the time of the riots both individuals went to jail for life as they should. Its funny you can find good people just walking around on Jan 6, but not also recognize millions of peaceful BLM protests. Anyway this is my position, its possible it is colored by many negative interactions with police, but we will have to agree to disagree.
