Perhaps it is different in your country, but as an American, although both burglarizing an Apple Store and invading the Capitol while chanting that you want to hang the Vice President are crimes, the latter is considered slightly less acceptable.

Also, claiming that opposing the rioters is to claim that “people can’t revolt” is a specious argument. It’s like claiming that executing a murderer is the same thing as committing murder. Both are killings, but one imagines the two to have different motivations. Recall that the founders put down a revolt (the Whiskey Rebellion) not long after their own revolution, and that a Civil War was fought not long after.
