Oh for crying out loud. Is it not obvious that in both cases people should go to freaking jail? We do not need to agree on which is the worst crime. Are we so blinded by irrational partisanship that we allow criminals a pass if they are in anyway adjacent to whatever political tribe we belong to? God damn it. This sort of stupidity, of blind, intellectually dishonest allegiance to parties that could not care less for America is what is destroying the country. We are well on our way to at best paralysis and at worst civil war if we cannot step out of our bubbles and condemn bad behavior on its merits. What a pathetic ending for the greatest country of the last 100 years.

Did I say they shouldn't be in jail? Seriously, where in my words did I say that? Is it a coded message that I can't read but everyone else can? I was commenting on your use of the term insurrection to describe what were, mostly, protests against police brutality (which were often met with acts of police brutality) and trying to establish that those actions were not the same as literally storming the Congress to prevent/delay the presidential election process (a much clearer act of insurrection, even if it was completely moronic and doomed from the start)>
