It isn't an insurrection because it was violent enough or because they were unruly enough (a bloodless coup is still a coup). It's an insurrection because its aim was to seize power, unlawfully, in this case for the guy who lost the election.

However violent or unpleasant they were, they are not described as an insurrection because they aren't and insurrection
