They were unequal events. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make by comparing the two, but in my eyes breaking into the capitol building with the intention of overthrowing the government is a significantly worse crime and I'm glad the people responsible are facing justice.

I'll say it again, all people responsible for a crime should be prosecuted. But stop trying to tell me apples are oranges.

It's a Red Herring. They don't know what they're talking about so they're fumbling around for any talking point they can find and pretend it's relevant. Don't waste your time.

It's a pretty on-the-nose username, given that they're basically just transcribing Fox News segments. In a saner world, this would be a parody account.

Except that they didnt have the intention of overthrowing the government as can be seen by 98% of the things they were charged and convicted of. And even if you think there was the intent and ability to do so, the vast majority were non-violent and did no signficant crime.

Crime is crime, so apples and apples. Why were the crimes of the riots not prosecuted?
