What about the Capitol riot on January 20, 2017?

That is a conundrum. In all honesty.

In the CapitAL riot they were “nasty”, rowdy, and burned a couple cars, wore obscene items, displayed obscenities on signs. And hung around a bit too long.

Meanwhile the worst of the CapitOL riot was broken windows, especially from the outside. It was an incursion on the “sacred” (suddenly) Fed building that represents “the People”, but it was quite lame. People carried US flags rather than burn them, walked around rather than running, slept under giant but accessible paintings and took pix with statuary rather than vandalizing them. The only person who actually died from it was one of the “rioters”. And it also lasted all of 4 hours? Just people being shooed away?

I get the “how dare you incur on a hallowed space”....but they didn’t do much and were gone within hours.

As far as BLM riots and Antifa - yeah, it’s a joke.
