Try to ram this through your thick skull: The US president organized his loyalists at the foot of the capitol and then had his henchman shout "LET'S HAVE TRIAL BY COMBAT" while congress was about to confirm his political enemy. What did you want to compare that to? Some loons burning down their local pizza hut?

Destroying the commons like this is profoundly not ok. It does no good and helps no one. Having this place descend into the hell realms is not in your interest either.

Yes, shouting at elected officials totally compares to forcing your way into the Capitol, making congresspeople flee for their lives, looting their offices, and killing a cop.

Nobody killed a cop. A cop killed a protester.

Get out of your bubble. The cop's name was Brian D. Sicknick, and he died from injuries sustained fighting the rioters.

According to Capitol police, the rioters "actively attacked United States Capitol Police Officers and other uniformed law enforcement officers with metal pipes, discharged chemical irritants, and took up other weapons against our officers."
