Yes. People who break the law should be prosecuted, else you weaken the law. But, burning and looting is in a different category to the Capitol stuff, I think.

- coldtea 6y agoIs it? To me it's the same kind or even more symbolic - it just annoys people that it was the "wrong" thinking masses to do it. If it was done for some other cause, there would be no end of celebratory articles on the same outlets that now condemn it...
- onethought 6y agoGiven the seditious aspect to it off directly attacking a body of government. It seems different under US law compared with arson/vandalism that has most characterised the protests around US cities. I think it would be condemned equally no matter who tried it. It’s the beginning of an end game scenario of democracy... so it makes sense it is viewed so harshly
